Universal Laser, Inc., just paid a dividend of $3.10 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 6 p

ercent per year, indefinitely. Investors require a 15 percent return on the stock for the first three years, a 13 percent return for the next three years, and then an 11 percent return thereafter. What is the current share price for the stock?

Answer:

Ans. The current price of the stock is $56.82

Explanation:

Hi, well, the problem here is that we have different discount rates, in other words the required rate of return for the stock changes several times, therefore we are going to break this problem in 3 parts, or bring to present value all the cash flows in 3 steps. Let´s start with the value of the dividends.

We have to use the following formula.

Dn=D_{(n-1)} *(1+g)

Where, D(n-1) is last dividend and Dn is the dividend that we are looking for, for example, D1 = 3.10*(1+0.06)=3.29, D2=3.29*(1+0.06)=3.48, and so forth. The amount to pay on dividends per share is,

D1=3.29; D2=3.48; D3=3.69; D4=3.91; D5=4.15; D6=4.40; D(7)=4.66

Since the first 3 years are to be discounted at a 15%, this is how the formula should look like.

PV(1)=\frac{D1}{(1+r(1))^{1} } +\frac{D2}{(1+r(1))^{2} } +\frac{D3}{(1+r(1))^{3} }

PV(1)=\frac{3.29}{(1+0.15)^{1} } +\frac{3.48}{(1+0.15)^{2} } +\frac{3.69}{(1+0.15)^{3} }=7.92

Now, for the second part, we have to bring all cash flows to year 3 at r(2)=13% and then bring it to present value at r(1)=15%. This is because we have 2 different discount rates, this is as follows.

PV(2)=(\frac{D4}{(1+r(2))^{1} } +\frac{D5}{(1+r(2))^{2} } +\frac{D6}{(1+r(2))^{3} })*\frac{1}{((1+r(1)^{3} }

PV(2)=(\frac{3.91}{(1+0.13)^{1} } +\frac{4.15}{(1+0.13)^{2} } +\frac{4.40}{(1+0.13)^{3} })*\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } =6.42

Finally, we need to bring all the future cash flows from year 7 and beyond, notice that we need to use the return rate r(3) to bring everything to year 6, then we have to bring it to year 3 and then to present value, everything as follows.

PV(3)=(\frac{D7}{(r(3)-g)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(2))^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(1))^{3} } )

PV(3)=(\frac{4.66}{(0.11-0.06)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } )=42.48

So, the price of the stock is PV(1) + PV(2) + PV(3), or:

Price=7.92+6.42+42.48=56.82

Price= $56.82/share

Best of luck.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

Given

Beginning inventory units = 15,000 units

Beginning Inventory Completed = 60% completed

Current work = 35,000 units started

Ending inventory = 5,000 units

Ending inventory completed = 20% completed

Using FIFO, the production cost report is as follows

First, we determine the physical flow of units;.

This is listed out as follows;

Beginning WIP Inventory: 15,000 units

Unit started this period: 35,000 units

Total units to account for = 50,000 units

Units completed and transferred out: 45,000 units

Ending WIP Inventory: 5,000 units

Total accounted units: 50,000 units

Unit completed and transferred out is calculated by;

Total units to account for - Ending WIP Inventory

= 50,000 units - 5,000 units

= 45,000 units

Calculating the EUP (Equivalent Unit of Production)

Equivalent Unit to complete beginning WIP Inventory

Direct Materials: 15,000 (100% - 100%) = 0 EUP (Direct)

Conversions: 15,000 (100% - 60%) = 6,000 EUP (Conversion)

Equivalent Unit started and completed: 30,000 EUP (Direct)

Equivalent Unit started and completed: 30,000 EUP (Conversion)

Equivalent Unit in ending WIP Inventory:

Direct: 5,000 units * 100% = 5,000 EUP (Direct)

Conversion: 5,000 * 20% = 1,000 EUP (Conversion)

Total Equivalent Unit of Production: 0 EUP + 30,000 EUP + 5,000 EUP = 35,000 EUP (Direct)

Total Equivalent Unit of Production: 6,000 EUP + 30,000 EUP + 1,000 EUP = 37,000 EUP (Conversion)

Note that;

Equivalent Unit started and completed is calculated as follows;

Total Units account for (45,000) - Beginning Unit (15,000) = 30,000 EUP

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

This question has a missing information. I have found the complete version and pasted it down below;

"Your neighbor offers you an investment opportunity, which will pay a single lump sum of S2,000 five years from today. The investment requires a single payment of <em>$1,500 today</em>. The return on the investment is % A. 4.195 B. 4.729 C. 5.361 D. 5.922 E. 6.961 "

Explanation:

This question requires you to find that discount rate given a single future cashflow. $2,000 is expected 5 years from today, hence the future value. $1,500 payment today is the dollar value today, hence the Present value.

Using a financial calculator, you will key in the following inputs;

Total duration; N = 5

Present value; PV = -1,500 (it's a cash outflow hence negative)

Recurring payment; PMT = 0

Future value; FV = 2,000

then find the rate by keying in CPT I/Y = 5.922%

Therefore, the return on the investment is 5.92%

pychu [463]

Answer:

A) can cover all its​ costs, ⇒ C) and will have a profit per unit of ​$18.

Explanation:

The company sells its products at $49 per unit, and each unit's total cost is $31 (= $26 variable costs + $5 fixed costs), therefore the company is covering all its costs and making an $18 profit (= $49 - $31) for each unit is sells.
