g Estimate the cost of common equity for a firm, given the following information. For the next year, the firm plans to pay a div
wel

Answer:

The cost of equity is 12.49 percent

Explanation:

The price per share of a company whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate can be calculated using the constant growth model of the DMM. The DDM bases the price of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

  • D1 is the dividend expected for the next period
  • r is the cost of equity
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

As we already know the P0 which is price today, the D1 and the growth rate in dividends (g), we can plug in the values of these variables in the formula to calculate the cost of equity (r)

100.81 = 8.76 / (r - 0.038)

100.81 * (r - 0.038) = 8.76

100.81r  -  3.83078 = 8.76

100.81r  =  8.76 + 3.83078

r = 12.59078 / 100.81

r = 0.12489 or 12.489% rounded off to 12.49%

Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods
eimsori [14]

This is the full question:

At the beginning of 2016, Air Asia purchased a used airplane at a cost of $40,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to remain useful for eight years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $5,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to be flow 1,200,000 the first year and 1,400,000 the second year.

1) Compute second-year (2017) depreciation expense using the following methods

a. Straight-line

b. Units-of-production

c. Double-declining-balance

2) Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods:

Answer:

Explanation:

1)a) Straight-line

Depreciable base = Cost of the Asset - Residual Value

                              = $40,000,000 - $5,000,000

                              = $35,000,000

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable base / years of useful life

                                                     = $35,000,000 / 8

                                                     = $4,375,000

The depreciation expense for the second year is = $4,375,000

                                                                                       

b) Units-of-production

Units of Production Rate = Depreciable Base / Units Over Useful Life

                                        = $35,000,000 / 5,000,000 miles

                                        = 7

Depreciation Expense = Units of Production Rate x Actual Units Produced

                                      = 7 x 1,400,000 miles in the second year

                                      = $9,800,000

c. Double-declining-balance

Double-declining balance = 2 x (Asset Cost - Residual Value ) / Useful Life of the Asset

                                           = 2 x ($40,000,000 - $5,000,000) / 8

                                           = $8,750,000

2) a) Straight-line Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the previous answer by two = $4,375,000 x 2

                                                                              = $8,750,000

2) b) Units-of-production Accumulated depreciation

First we find the depreciation expense for the first year using the same formula as above

= 7 x 1,200,000

= $8,400,000

Finally we simply add up depreciation expense for the two years

= $8,400,000 + $9,800,000

= $18,200,000

2) c) Double-declining-balance Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the first result by two = $8,750,000 x 2

                                                                    = $17,500,000
