Complete Question:
BenchMark, Inc., just paid a dividend of $3.45 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 5 percent per year indefinitely. Investors require a return of 13 percent on the stock for the first three years, a return of 11 percent for the next three years, and then a return of 9 percent thereafter. What is the current share price for the stock.
Answer:
BenchMark, Inc.
The current share price for the stock is:
$43.13
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Dividend per share = $3.45
Growth rate = 5%
Investors' required rate of return = 13%
Stock value = Dividend per share / (Required Rate of Return – Dividend Growth Rate)
= $3.45/(0.13 - 0.05)
= $43.13
b) We can calculate BenchMark's current share price, by dividing the dividend per share by the investors' required rate of return after subtracting the growth rate from the required rate of return.
Answer:
Cullumber Company
Journal Entry:
Debit Loss on Goodwill Impairment $34,200
Credit Goodwill $34,200
To record the loss on goodwill impairment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Fair value = $820,800
Carrying value of net identifiable assets, including goodwill = $855,000
Goodwill impairment = $34,200 ($855,000 - $820,800)
b) Cullumber, which acquired Blossom is expected to check for the impairment of goodwill yearly. The impairment occurs when the carrying value of the net identifiable assets of Blossom is more than the fair value of Blossom. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards require the annual review of the fair value of goodwill to check for its impairment. By the above entry, the goodwill will be reduced by $34,200 and a loss debited in Cullumber's accounts.
Answer:
The correct answer is (B) discussing explanations for an unexpected scientific finding.
Explanation:
A serendipity is a discovery or a fortunate, valuable and unexpected finding that occurs accidentally, by chance or by destination, or when a different thing is being sought. It can also refer to the ability of a subject to recognize that he has made an important discovery even if it is not related to what he is looking for. Serendipities are frequent in the history of science. There are also cases of serendipity in literary works, when an author writes about something he has imagined and is not known in his time, and it is subsequently shown that this exists as defined by the writer, with the same details. It should not be confused with anticipation or science fiction, where much more generic inventions are advanced than almost everyone thinks they will probably exist one day.
