Answer:The Pet Company has recently discovered a type of rock which, when crushed, is extremely absorbent. It is expected that the firm will experience (beginning now) an unusually high growth rate (20%) during the period (3 years) when it has exclusive rights to the property where this rock can be found. However, beginning with the fourth year the firm's competition will have access to the material, and from that time on the firm will assume a normal growth rate of 8% annually. During the rapid growth period, the firm's dividend payout ratio will be relatively low (20%), to conserve funds for reinvestment. However, the decrease in growth will be accompanied by an increase in dividend payout to 50%. Last year's earnings were $2.00 per share (E0) and the firm's cost of equity is 10%. What should be the current price of the common stock?

Answer:
Explanation:
a. The computation of the labor rate variance is shown below:
= Actual Hours × (Actual rate - standard rate)
= 5,050 × ($16.80 per hour - $16 per hour)
= 5,050 × $0.80 per hour
= $4,040 unfavorable
b. The computation of the labor time variance is shown below:
= Standard Rate × (Actual hours - Standard hours)
= $16 per hour × (5,050 hours - 1,000 × 5.4 hours)
= $16 per hour × -350 hours
= -$5,600 favorable
c. The computation of the total labor variance is shown below:
= (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × standard rate)
= (5,050 hours × $16.80 per hour) - (1,000 bicycles × 5.4 hours × $16 per hour)
= $84,840 - $86,400
= -$1,560 favorable
Answer:
The IRR is 5%. Rate of return would be 12.5% assuming a discount rate of 4%
Explanation:
The answer depends entirely on the discount rate. The question covers a 30 period timeframe and in each period, the pay off is $13 million. This is a simple time value of money concept in which to calculate the present value, you will simply calculate the present value of each of the cash flows. The formula is 13Mn/[(1+r)^n] where n is the year from 1 to 30, r is the discount rate.
The question requires us to calculate the return that is the variable 'r'. For this you need to have the present value today so that you can then use the equation to solve for 'r'. However, the only information we have is the time period and the cash flow. We are given $200mn as the initial outlay. So, we can at least use this to calculate the internal rate of return (IRR) which is simply the rate of return (or the value of 'r') at which the present value of each of the 13 Mn to be received over the next 30 years is equal to the initial outlay (i.e 200mn). In short, IRR is the rate of return at which the net present value (NPV) is equal to zero. In our example, and using the formula for each of the cash flow from years 1 to 30, the IRR is computated at 5%. So if the discount rate that the company uses is less than 5%, the company would be better of with Joe accepting the offer because any discount rate below 5% would result in the present value of the cash flows to be in excess of $200Mn.
Lets take an example and assume that the discount rate is 4%, using the formula from year 1 to 30 and summing the values would give us a present value of $225 Mn. So the rate lf return in this case would be (225-200)/200 x 100 = 12.5%.
Answer and Explanation:
1. Marta cannot avoid the contract on the basis of a mistake of buying the house because she was supposed to inspect the house she was buying
2. Marta cannot sue Chelene for fraudulent misrepresentation because Chelene was not aware of the condition of the house. The elements in fraudulent misrepresentation are lacking : no intention to deceive, no misrepresentation of material facts
3. It would be Chelene's duty to reveal that there is defect in the house and if not the court would see this as misresprentation.
4. There was no undue influence from Chelene in selling the house and so Marta and Janis even she was alive cannot revoke the contract on this basis
