Answer:

$37.05

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

last dividend, D0 = $1.55

Dividend growth rate, g = 1.5% = 0.015

growth rate after 2 year = 8.0% = 0.08

Required rate of return , r= 12% = 0.12

Now,

Year 1 dividend =  $1.55 × ( 1 + 0.015 ) = $1.57325

Year 2 dividend = $1.57325 × ( 1 + 0.015 ) = $1.5968

Stock price after year 2 = [ $1.5968 × ( 1 + 0.08) ] ÷ (0.12 - 0.08)

= $43.11

Therefore,

The current stock price = amounts discounted back to the present at the required rate of return

= ( $1.57325 ÷ 1.12 ) + ( 1.5968 ÷ 1.12² ) + ( $43.11 ÷ 1.12² )

= $37.05

Answer:

In order to determine the Macauly we must complete the following table:

period      cash flow       PV of             Period x            

                                       cash flow      PV cash flow          

1                  $3                 $2.91                 $2.91

2                 $3                 $2.83                $5.66

3                 $3                 $2.75                 $8.25

4                 $3                 $2.67               $10.68

5                 $3                 $2.59               $12.95

6                 $3                 $2.51                $15.06

7                 $3                 $2.44                $17.08

8              $103                $81.31              $650.48

Total                                                        $723.07

Macauly duration = $723.07 / $87 = 8.31

Modified Macauly duration = Macauly duration / (1 + r) = 8.31 / 1.03 = 8.07

3. Under what circumstance(s) is reported income identical under both absorption costing and variable costing

When Production is Equal to Sales

Explanation:

The Variable Costing and The Absorption Costing Differ in two aspects. That is the Accumulation of Product Costs and the Accumulation of Period Costs.

<u>Product Costs</u>

Variable Costing = Direct Labor + Direct Materials + Variable Overheads

                            = $ 60 + $40 + $ 30

                            = $130

Absorption Costing = Direct Labor + Direct Materials + Variable Overheads + <em>Fixed Manufacturing Overheads</em>

<em>                                  = </em>$ 60 + $40 + $ 30 + $70

                                 = $200

<u>Periodic Cost</u>

Variable Costing = <em>Fixed Manufacturing Overheads + </em>Non- Manufacturing Overheads

Absorption Costing = <em> </em>Non- Manufacturing Overheads

<u>Units of Closing Stock Calculation :</u>

Production - Sales

100,000-70,000

30,000
