Answer:
$559,020
Explanation:
The computation of net sales is shown below:-
Total sales = $640,000
Sales discount = $14,500 + $1,450
= $15,950
Sales return = $39,000 + $4,680
= $43,680
Sales allowance = $19,000 + $2,530
= $21,350
So,
Net sales = Total sales - Sales discount - Sales return - Sales allowance
= $640,000 - $15,950 - $43,680 - $21,350
= $559,020
Therefore for computing the net sales we simply applied the above formula.
Answer:
The value of the stock today is $20
Explanation:
Using the CAPM equation, we first calculate the required rate of retunr on the stock.
The equation for CAPM is,
r = rRF + Beta * rpM
Where,
- rRF is the risk free rate
- rpM is the risk premium on market
- Beta * rpM is the risk premium on stock
r = 0.05 + 0.04
r = 0.09 or 9%
The value of the stock can be calculated using the zero growth model of DDM. The DDM values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. As the dividend from the stock is expected to remain constant through out to an indefinite period, the value of the stock today is,
P0 = Dividend / r
P0 = 1.8 / 0.09
P0 = $20
Answer: $109,080; $145,920
Explanation:
Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the following can be gotten:
The amount for income tax expenses will be:
= 36% of $303,000
= 36/100 × $303,000
= 0.36 × $303,000
= $109,080
The net income will be:
Reported income = $303,000
Less income tax = $109,080
Less loss on discounted operation = $48,000
Net income = $145,920
Loss on discounted operation:
= $75,000 × (1 - 36%)
= $75,000 × (1 - 0.36)
= $75,000 × 0.64
= $48,000
