Snow Valley Ski Resort has been contracting snow removal from its parking lots at a cost of $350/day. A snow-removal machine can

be purchased for $27,000. The machine is estimated to have a useful life of 6 years with a zero salvage value at that time. Annual costs for operating and maintaining the equipment are estimated to be $7,000. Determine the break-even value for the number of days per year that snow removal is required in order to justify purchasing the snow-removal machine. MARR is 12%/year.

Answer:

The number of days needs to be found is 39 days

Explanation:

The number of days per year the machine is used that brings the Snow Valley Ski Resort to break-even for the two alternative ways given in the question is the number of days that equalized the net present value of the two alternatives being discounted at MARR 12%.

Net Present value of alternative 1 : Buying the machine ; calculated as below

Cost of buying the machine + annual cost of operating and maintaining = -27,000 - (7,000/12%) x (1-1.12^-6) = $-55,779.85

Net Present value of alternative 2: Renting the machine; which is the present value of annual renting cost for 6 years period. Annual renting cost is denoted as $(350 x n) with n is the number of days in use. Thus, net present value is calculated as: (-350n/ 0.12) / ( 1 - 1.12^-6)

As explained above, the number of days to bring to break-even point is:

(350n/ 0.12) x ( 1 - 1.12^-6) = 55,779.85  <=> 350n = 13,567.1 <=> n = 39 days.

What should be the current price of a share of stock if a $5 dividend was just paid, the stock has a required return of 20%, and
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Current Price of the Share Stock is $ 37.86 (D)

Explanation:

Using dividend valuation method with a constant growth rate assumption, share price is calculated as : Po =D1/(Ke-g).

Where;  Po ⇒Market Value excluding any dividend currently payable

            D1= Do(1+g)⇒Expected dividend in one year's time

            Ke =Required rate of return by shareholders

             g= Dividend growth rate

<u>Calculation</u>

D1 = 5(1+0.06)= $5.3

Hence, Po= 5.3/(0.20-0.06)

            Po=$37.86

The share price is expected to reflect the future expected stream of income i.e  dividends and capital gains ,discounted at an appropriate cost of capital.

Some of the assumptions of dividend valuation method include but not limited to the following:

- it assumed that investors act rationality and in the same way ;

-the dividend either show growth or no growth;

-the discount rate used exceeds the dividend growth rate.
