Answer: c. machine hours.
Explanation:
In reference to Automated Operations, the Activity base that is usually used to in determining a pre-determined overhead rate are Machine hours.
It is standard practice to relate overhead to the Direct Labor involved in the production of a commodity and since in this case the direct Labor mostly consists of Machines (Automated) then it is best to relate activities to the Machine hours involved instead.
Answer:
Option (D) 16.57%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Realized gain
r₁ = 20%
r₂ = 20%
r₃ = 10%
Now,
Geometric average = ![[(1+r_1)\times(1+r_2)\times...\times(1+r_n)]^{\frac{1}{n}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%281%2Br_1%29%5Ctimes%281%2Br_2%29%5Ctimes...%5Ctimes%281%2Br_n%29%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bn%7D%7D)
- 1
here,
n = 3
therefore,
Geometric average = ![[(1+0.20)\times(1+0.20)\times(1+0.10)]^{\frac{1}{3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%281%2B0.20%29%5Ctimes%281%2B0.20%29%5Ctimes%281%2B0.10%29%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%7D)
- 1
or
Geometric average = ![[1.584]^{\frac{1}{3}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B1.584%5D%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%7D)
- 1
or
Geometric average = 1.1657 - 1
or
Geometric average = 0.1657
= 0.1657 × 100%
= 16.57%
Answer:
the net cost of debt to a firm is generally less than the cost of equity.
Explanation:
If we assume both, investor in firms and lender to firms want's a certain return x
because the lender return (the interest) are tax deductible the net cost of debt will be: x ( 1 - t)
where t is the tax rate being rate beteen 0 and 1
as 1 less a fraction will be less than 1 we can stablish that:
x > x(1 - t)
x is the cost of equity
while x(1-t) is the net cost of debt
therefore, the cost of debt is lower than cost of equity.
Answer:
Value of stock = $47.99
Explanation:
<em>The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.</em>
Year Present Value
1 1.25× 1.15^1 × 1.095^(-1) =1.31
2 1.25× 1.15^2 × 1.095^(-2) = 1.38
3. 1.25× 1.15^3 × 1.095^(-3)= 1.45
Present value of Dividend in Year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
Step 1
PV in year 3 terms
= Dividend in year 4× (1.06)/(0.095-0.06)
1.25× 1.15^3 × 1.06/(0.095-0.06)=57.57
PV in year 0 terms =
PV in year 3 × 1.095^(-3)
=57.5759 × 1.095^(-3)= 43.852
Value of stock = 1.3 + 1.38 + 1.45 + 43.852= $47.99
Value of stock = $47.99
