Because of his business's recent success, Sam has decided to expand his Sam's Swimming Pool Cleaning to include another branch.

This will add expenses for another office and payroll for five more employees, but Sam's customer base will stay the same, at least for a while. Until Sam's new branch starts bringing in new customers, how will this change affect Sam's gross profit margin?

Answer: initially Sam gross profit would drop. But overtime when he starts gaining customers in his new branch added to the already existing customers in his old branch there would a very large gross profit increase.

Explanation: Gross profit is the percentage of revenue a company retains after accounting for cost of goods/services.

In this case payment of staffs in both the old and new branches would be accounted for, with the new branch still very much dependent on the old branch for payment of staff until it can get its own customers, only then would the new branch be able to be self reliant and also make profit.

pychu [463]

Answer:

a.

1st $5.43

2nd $5.89

3rd $6.39

4th $6.93

5th $7.52

6th $7.81

b.

$75.85

Explanation:

Dividend is the payment to the stockholders out of earning of the company. Companies have a dividend policy which determine the future dividend payments.

Dividend of each year can be calculated by using the growth rate as a discount in the compounding formula.

Dividend Payment

First year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^1 = $5.43

Second year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^2 = $5.89

Third year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^3 = $6.39

Fourth year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^4 = $6.93

Fifth year =$5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^5 = $7.52

Sixth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 3.8% )^1 = $7.81

b.

Intrinsic value of the stock is the present value of all the associated dividends

We need to calculate the present value of all the dividend payment.

First year = $5.43 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-1 =  $4.87

Second year = $5.89 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-2 = $4.74

Third year = $6.39 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-3 = $4.61

Fourth year = $6.93 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-4 = $4.48

Fifth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-5 = $4.36

After fifth year the dividend will be discounted as follow

PV of dividend after fifth year = [ $7.81 / (11.5% - 3.8%) ] x [ (1+11.5%)^-6 ] = $52.79

Intrinsic Value of Stock = Sum of PV of all dividends = $4.87 + $4.74 + $4.61 + $4.48 + $4.36 + $52.79 = $75.85

A subsidiary can pay only 50% of its profits to its parent company unless the subsidiary's accumulated retained earnings have be
Aleks [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

There is no restriction that prohibits the payment of dividends from a subsidiary to a parent company. The parent company has to report the subsidiary's profit as taxable income, so the subsidiary must pay its dividends to the parent company. To avoid multiple layers of taxation, parent companies can use the dividends-received deduction to reduce their taxes on the dividends received. Then the parent company must itself distribute dividends to its shareholders.
