Answer:
(a) $10 million
(b) $1 per share
(c) $49
(d) 25 %
Explanation:
(a) Estimated net earnings for next year.
Sales next year = $100 million
Net profit margin = 10%
Net profit margin = Net Income ÷ Sales
Net Income = 10% × $100 million
= $10 mil
lion
(b) Next year's dividends per share.
Dividend payout = Dividends paid ÷ Net Income
= 50%
Dividends paid = $10 × 50%
= $5 mil
lion
Per share dividend = Dividend paid ÷ Shares outstanding
= $5 million ÷ 5 million
= $1 per share
(c) The expected price of the stock (assuming the P/E ratio is 24.5 times earnings).
Earnings per share:
= Net income ÷ shares outstanding
= $10 million ÷ 5 million
= $2 per share
P/E Ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share
Price per share = $2 × 24.5
= $49
(d) The expected holding period return (latest stock price: $40 per share).
= (Final price - Initial price + Dividend) ÷Initial Price
= ($49 - $40 + $1) ÷ $40
= 25%
Answer: $317,400
Explanation: The first step is to calculate the sales value
Sales = Unit sold × Price per unit
11500 × $77.00 = $885,500
calculation Total variable cost
i. Variable production cost = Units × variable production cost per unit
11500 × $39.70 = $456,550
ii. Variable selling and administrative cost = unit × variable selling and administrative cost per unit
11500 × $9.70 = $111,550
Total variable cost = Variable production cost + variable selling and administrative cost
Total variable cost = $456,550 + $111,550
= $568,100
Calculation of contribution margin
Contribution margin = Sales - total variable cost
= $885,500- $568,100
= $317,400
