JRN Enterprises just announced that it plans to cut its dividend from $2.50 to $1.50 per share and use the extra funds to expand

its operations. Prior to this announcement, JRN's dividends were expected to grow at 4% per year and JRN's stock was trading at $25.00 per share. With the new expansion, JRN's dividends are expected to grow at 8% per year indefinitely. Assuming that JRN's risk is unchanged by the expansion, the value of a share of JRN after the announcement is closest to:

Answer:

P0 = $25

Explanation:

To calculate the value of JRN after the announcement, we will use the constant growth model of DDM as the dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate. The formula for price under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g)  /  (r - g)

Where,

  • D0 is the dividend today
  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

As the risk will remain the same, so we can say that the r or required rate of return will remain the same. To calculate r, we will input the pre announcement values in the formula above.

25 = 2.5 / (r - 0.04)

25 * (r - 0.04)  =  2.5

25r  -  1  = 2.5

25r = 2.5 + 1

r = 3.5 / 25

r = 0.14 or 14%

Using the same formula for post announcement values, we calculate teh price to be,

P0 = 1.5 /  (0.14 - 0.08)

P0 = $25

Hammond Lumber has just changed from prefabricating 8 gazebos to 10 gazebos (units). Their total costs changed from $9,500 to $1
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

MC = 750

Explanation:

Below is the given values:

Initial quantity = 8

Final quantity = 10

Initial total cost = $9500

Final total cost = $11000

Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity

Change in total cost = 11000 - 9500 = 1500

Change in quantity = 10 - 8 = 2

Marginal cost = Change in total cost / Change in quantity

MC = 1500 / 2

MC = 750

While charging a general admission price of $15 for adults most days of the week, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston offers free
kow [346]

Answer:

Basically, the museum might price this way because of the low number of people that go to the place that specific day and<u> in order to stimulate the demand from visitors</u>.

Secondly, once that the main reason of why the museum might price this way is said, the reason why the are likely to choose a day like Thursday rather than Saturday is due to the fact that Saturdays tend to be the day where those kind of places are full of people because most of the people do not work on weekends and therefore the organization do not need to encourage the entrance of visitors, they will go anyways without any stimulation.
