Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

France:

Production cost per unit:

= Amount of paint produced ÷ Total input cost

= 4,000,000,000 ÷ $3,500,000

= 1142.85714286

Productivity:

= Production cost per unit ÷ Amount of paint produced

= 1142.85714286 ÷ 4,000,000,000

= 0.0000028571

Germany:

Production cost per unit:

= Amount of paint produced ÷ Total input cost

= 5,500,000,000 ÷ $5,250,000

= 1047.61904762

Productivity:

= Production cost per unit ÷ Amount of paint produced

= 1047.61904762 ÷ 5,500,000,000

= 0.00000019048

Spain:

Production cost per unit:

= Amount of paint produced ÷ Total input cost

= 4,600,000,000 ÷ $5,250,000

= 876.19047619

Productivity:

= Production cost per unit ÷ Amount of paint produced

= 876.19047619 ÷ 4,600,000,000

= 0.00000019048

France is higher than that of the factory in Spain.

Meenach Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-ho
o-na [289]

Answer:

Fixed overhead application rate

= <u>Budgeted fixed overhead</u>

  Budgeted direct labour hours

= <u>$114,000</u>

  60,000 hrs

= $1.90 per direct labour hour

Amount of overhead applied to job X387:     $

Variable overhead $4.90 x 170 hours         = 833

Fixed overhead $1.90 x 170 hours               = 323

                                                                            1,156

                                                           

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to calculate the fixed overhead application rate based on direct labour hours by dividing the the budgeted fixed overhead by budgeted direct labour hours. Then, we will calculate the overhead applied to Job X387 by multiplying the fixed and variable application rate by actual direct labour hours of 170 hours.

The stock of Nogro Corporation is currently selling for $10 per share. Earnings per share in the coming year are expected to be
V125BC [204]

Answer:

a) required rate of return = 10%

b)Also, if there is no growth then Return on Equity will be equal to the Required rate of return. Hence there won't be any change.

c) a cut in the dividend payout to 25% will have no effect  or impact and as such the stock price will remain the same.

A complete elimination of dividend will not affect the stock price as well.

Explanation:

The question is in three parts and will be answered accordingly

a) The Required Rate of Return = (The Dividend Expected for the next year/ Current Price of Stock) + the Growth rate

First, we calculate the Dividend expected per share for the next year

=earnings per share x Dividends pay out ratio

=$2 /$10 = 20%

Secondly, we now calculate the return on equity as follows

= Expected Earnings Per share / Current Selling price

= $2 x (1-50%) = 10%

The third is to calculate the Growth rate =

Return on Equity x (1 - Dividend payout ratio)

= 20% x (1-50%) = 10%

Using this with the formula of required rate of return

= ($1 /$10) +10% = 20%

b) First the assumption is that all earnings were paid as dividend with no reinvestment and in this scenario, the lack of reinvestment will mean no growth. Also, if there is no growth then Return on Equity will be equal to the Required rate of return. Hence there won't be any change.

c) Because the Return on Equity is equal to required rate of return, it means a cut in the dividend payout to 25% will have no effect  or impact and as such the stock price will remain the same.

A complete elimination of dividend will not affect the stock price as well.
