Answer:

specialization

Explanation:

In order for labor specialization (or division of labor) to be successful, first the productive activities must be separated into smaller tasks, and then each worker will be responsible for performing just one task. That way the worker can specialize in performing that one task, and his/her efficiency should increase.

Labor specialization was the basic idea behind Henry Ford's moving assembly line. Each specialized worker was responsible for one manufacturing task and that decreased total production time and cost. The same concept applies today and the results are still the same.

Portman Industries just paid a dividend of $1.68 per share. The company expects the coming year to be very profitable, and its d
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

What is the expected dividend yield for Portman's stock today?

d. 6.40%

Suppose Portman is considering issuing 62,500 new shares at a price of $26.78 per share. If the new shares are sold to outside investors, by how much will Judy's investment in Portman Industries be diluted on a per-share basis?

a. $0.52 per share

Thus, Judy's investment will be diluted, and Judy will experience a total loss of $0.52 x 7,500 = $3,900

Explanation:

cost of equity = Re = risk free rate of return + (Beta × market premium) = 5% + (0.90 x 6%) = 10.4%

dividend in one year = $1.68 x 120% = $2.016

intrinsic stock price = $2.016 / (10.4% - 4%) = $31.50

expected dividend yield = dividend / stock price = $2.016 / $31.50 = 6.4%

Judy's loss per share = ($31.50 - $26.78) x (62,500 / 562,500) = $0.5244

Finger [1]
