Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
FIFO inventory cost method will yield the highest taxable income during times of inflation or period of rising price.
FIFO is First in First out i.e the inventory that was purchase first will go out first. This method reflects the current market price because last inventories bought during inflation are part of the ending inventories. Ending inventories are high, cost of sales are low and gross profit is high.
Because gross profit is high, high tax will be charged
Answer:
First Expected Dividend will come in at the end of Year 3 or t=3 assuming current time is t=0.
D3 = $ 4.25, Growth Rate for year 4 and year 5 = 22.1 %
Therefore, D4 = D3 x 1.221 = 4.25 x 1.221 = $ 5.18925 and D5 = D4 x 1.221 = 5.18925 x 1.221 = $ 6.33607
Growth Rate post Year 5 = 4.08 %
D6 = D5 x 1.0408 = 6.33607 x 1.0408 = $ 6.59459
Required Return = 13.6 %
Therefore, Current Stock Price = Present Value of Expected Dividends = [6.59459 / (0.136-0.0408)] x [1/(1.136)^(5)] + 4.25 / (1.136)^(3) + 5.18925 / (1.136)^(4) + 6.33607 / (1.136)^(5) = $ 45.979 ~ $ 45.98
Price at the end of Year 2 = P2 = Present Value of Expected Dividends at the end of year 2 = [6.59459 / (0.136-0.0408)] x [1/(1.136)^(3)] + 4.25 / (1.136) + 5.18925 / (1.136)^(2) + 6.33607 / (1.136)^(3) = $ 59.3358 ~ $ 59.34
Dividend Yield at the end of year 3 = DY3 = D3 / P2 = 4.25 / 59.34 = 0.07612 or 7.612 %
Total Required Return = 14. 6 %
Therefore, Required Capital Gains Yield = 14.6 % - 7.612 % = 6.988 %
Answer:
There are two ways in which Return on Assets can be calculated depending on whether we consider Total assets at year-end or average total assets.
1
or
2
Substituting the values in equation 1 we get,
Substituting values in equation 2 we get,
A credit score is the number that is assigned to the lenders that measure how well they are able to pay a debt. Credit scores are affected by how the previous loans were paid as well the amount of the loan. Late payments, short term loans, and small loans will result to a low credit score.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. This has been solved and attached.
Note that the net benefits was calculated as:
= Marginal benefit - $200
b. Looking at the table and information provided in the attachment, we would see that no company offer to build the museum because since their cost of $1000 can't be covered by the revenue generated. The highest revenue gotten for the single price monopolist is $760 and this can't even cover their cost.
c. Based on the scenario given in (c), the highest revenue the price discriminating monopolist would make is $1200 and coupled with the fact that the cost is $1000, the maximum bid that a private company would make to supply the museum to Smallsville is $200 ($1200 - $1000)
