Answer:

D) $82,480

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of inventory destroyed is shown below:-

Cost of Goods available for sale

= Beginning Inventory + Inventory purchased

= $215,450 + $192,530

= $407,980

Cost of Goods Sold = Sales - Gross profit

= $542,500 - ($542,500 × 40%)

= $325,500

The Estimated amount of inventory destroyed

= Cost of Goods available for sale  - Cost of goods sold

= $407,980 - $325,500

= $82,480

FLASH Delivery has EPS of $6.00 per share and has a payout ratio of 40%. Its dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 5.25%. If
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The answer is "Option c"

Explanation:

The Dividend payout ratio is 40% so that EPS* is the dividend payout ratio of the company:

= 6 \times 40 \% \\\\= \$ \ 2.40

Inventory market value:

= Dividend \times \frac{(1+g)}{(r-g)}

Where r = return rate is needed

g= growth = 5.25\% = \frac{5.25}{100} = 0.0525

\to 22.86 = \frac{(2.4 \times (1+g))}{ r-0.0525}\\\\\to 22.86 = \frac{(2.4 \times (1+0.0525))}{r-0.0525}\\\\\to (22.86 \times r)-(22.86 \times 0.0525)=2.526\\\\\to (22.86  \times r)-1.20015=2.526\\\\\to 22.86r=3.72615\\\\\to r=0.1630\\\\\to r=16.30 \%
