Answer:
7.83%
Explanation:
This is calculated by using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula as follows: P = d / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1)
Where;
P = market price of the stock = $24.09
d = next year annual dividend = $1.26 r = cost of equity = ?
g = dividend growth rate = 2.6%, or 0.026
Substituting the values into equation and solve for r, we have:
24.09 = 1.26 / (r - 0.026)
24.09 (r - 0.026) = 1.26
24.09r - 0.62634 = 1.26
24.09r = 1.26 + 0.62634
24.09r = 1.88634
r = 1.88634 / 24.09
r = 0.0783038605230386, or 7.83038605230386%
Rounding to 2 decimal places. we have:
r = 7.83%
Therefore, the correct option is 7.83 percent.
Answer and Explanation:
a. The preparation of income statement is shown below:-
Income Statement
Service revenue $80,000
operating expenses
Salary expenses $28,000
Uncollectible accounts
expense $3,273
Total operating expense $31,273
Net income $48,727
Working Note :-
Days Amount Percentage Allowance balance
Current $16,800 0.01 $168
0-30 $5,100 0.05 $255
31-60 $4,000 0.10 $400
61-90 $2,000 0.30 $600
Over 90
days $3,700 0.50 $1,850
Total $31,600 $3,273
b. The computation of net realizable value of the accounts receivable is shown below:-
Net realizable value = Accounts receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts
= ($80,000 - $48,400) - $3,273
= $31,600 - $3,273
= $28,327
I would say that it is a CHECKING ACCOUNT. The answer for this would be option A. This type of account can be accessed anytime which makes its liquidity very high, but on the other side, this has very low interest and the minimum balance required is also low. Hope this helps.
Answer 1: The Correct answer is C) the average prices of goods and services decreased between last year and this year.
CPI stands for consumer Price Index. Also known as the 'basket' the index is developed by national governments to monitor the prices of basic goods and services used by the population.
This has to include basic items that the majority of population uses every day e.g. milk, chicken, electricity etc.
In this case, the CPI had decreased from 91.0 to 90.0 which means the prices fell.
Answer 2: The correct answer is A) 3.6%
The formula to calculate unemployment rate is:
No. of unemployed ÷ No. of Working People x 100
In this case, it was 9 million divided by 250 million x 100
3.6% unemployment rate is actually very less for an economy and is an indicator that the economy is doing well and creating enough jobs for most people. A high unemployment rate signals a worsening economy.
