Answer:

$26.50

Explanation:

The computation of the current value of the common stock is shown below:

Current price is

= Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - Growth rate)

where

Current year dividend is $1.59

The Required rate of return is 12%

ANd, the growth rate is 6%

Now place these values to the above formula

So, the current price of the common stock is

= ($1.50 × 1.06) ÷ (0.12 - 0.06)  

= $1.59 ÷ 0.06

= $26.50

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Provided in Explanation

Explanation:

This is a very general question however I’ll try to answer it to the best of my knowledge.

If I use my own assumptions then these will be the Projections:

Selling Price         $79.99  Selling Price         $69.99

Cost of Sales/unit $40.00  Cost of Sales/unit $40.00

Expenses/unit $15.00  Expenses/unit $15.00

   

Demand @ $79.99 1000 Demand @ $69.99 1200

   

Sales         $79,990.00  Sales         $83,988.00

Cost of Sales $40,000.00  Cost of Sales $48,000.00

Expenses $15,000.00  Expenses $18,000.00

Profit        $24,990.00        Profit         $17,988.00

The final decision however relies on the Price Elasticity of the Product. If the Product is Price elastic then lowering the Price will lead to a significant rise in Demand. However if the Product is Price inelastic then lowering the Price will not lead to a significant rise in Demand and thus profit margins will be lowered. If the Product is Price inelastic then it is better to increase prices in order to gain more profits. In the case of Unit Elasticity the change in Demand will be at the same proportion as price change so it won’t be of any use to change the Price.

SSSSS [86.1K]
You don't communicate to convey activities, or to integrate activities. We can, therefore, eliminate answers "a," "b," and "e." 

So is our purpose to discuss or organize an activity? Either answer fits. We discuss activities to gather the opinions of others regarding said activities. But discussing is, itself, a form of communicating, it is not an outcome. The other points listed are outcomes "we provide... influence... [through communication]." Therefore, the answer must be "c. organize".

When underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is prorated, amounts can be assigned to which of the following accounts?
laila [671]

Answer:

b. Cost of Goods Sold, Work-in-Process Inventory, and Finished-Goods Inventory.

Explanation:

Whenever manufacturing overheads are prorated and under-applied or over-applied, then they are charged to inventory or cost which includes overheads as part of it.

As for instance, raw material inventory do not include any overheads, it is just the purchase price of inventory, as no work is performed on it.

Cost of goods sold, includes all the cost incurred to sale the good, from acquiring raw material to converting finished goods, and then adding the sales expense the goods are sold.

Finished goods include every material and overhead to convert the item into finished state and usable state.

Work in process is half way completed, or the percentage prescribed and includes raw material, includes overheads, but the product is somewhere more than raw inventory and less than finished good.

Therefore, correct option is:

b.
