Answer:

The correct answer is 10.72% ( Approx.).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Debt ratio = 46.5%

Capital intensity ratio = 2.51 times

Profit margins = 21%

Dividend payout = 38%

Formula to calculate sustainable growth rate ae as follows:

Sustainable growth rate = (Earnings retention rate × Return on equity ) / ( 1 - (ROE × RR)

where, Retention rate =(1 - dividend payout rate)

= (1-0.38) = 0.62

ROE = Profit margin × Total asset turonver × Equity multipler

= Profit margin × 1/capital intensity ratio × 1/(1-debt ratio)

= .21 × (1/2.51) × 1/(1-.465)

= .21 × 0.398 × 1.869

= 0.1562

=15.62%

So, Sustainable growth rate = (0.1562*0.62) / 1 - (0.1562*0.62)

= 0.096844 / 0.903156

= 0.1072

= 10.72% (approx.)

Hence, the correct answer is 10.72% (approx.).

xenn [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

Accounts receivable A/c Dr $27,300

              To Sales A/c $27,300

(Being goods are sold on credit)

Sales return and allowance A/c Dr $3,000

              To Accounts receivable $3,000

(Being sales return is recorded)

Cash A/c Dr                   $24,057

Sales Discount A/c Dr $243

     To  Accounts receivable    $24,300

(Being cash received recorded)

The computation of the account receivable  

= Credit sales - returned goods

= $27,300 - $3,000

= $24,300

And, the discount would be

= Accounts receivable × percentage given

= $24,300 × 1%

= $243

The remaining amount would be credited to the cash account.

The last dividend paid by Wilden Corporation was $1.55. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 1.5% for 2 years,
shtirl [24]

Answer:

e)  $37.05

Explanation:

Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.

So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula

P = D (1+g)/r-g

r- rate of return, g = growth rate

Present value of the future dividends:

PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)

                     = 1.4047

PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)

                     =  1.27

PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)

Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)

=43.114

Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

  =43.114 × (1.12^(-2))

   = 34.37

Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37

                                       = $37.05

Note

To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0
