Sawchuck Consulting has been profitable for the last 5 years, but it has never paid a dividend. Management has indicated that it

plans to pay a $0.25 dividend 3 years from today, then to increase it at a relatively rapid rate for 2 years, and then to increase it at a constant rate of 8.00% thereafter. Management's forecast of the future dividend stream, along with the forecasted growth rates, is shown below. Assuming a required return of 11.00%, what is your estimate of the stock's current value?Year 0 1 2 3 4 5 6Growth rate NA NA NA NA 50.00% 25.00% 8.00%Dividends $0.000 $0.000 $0.000 $0.250 $0.375 $0.469 $0.506a. $9.94b. $10.19c. $10.45d. $10.72e. $10.99

Answer:

The answer is d

Explanation:

This question is assessing the dividend growth model which is used to assess how profitable a company is based on its stock valuation. Sawchuck's stock's current value is computed via a multi-stage dividend growth model. The growth rate of 50% in year 4 and 25% in year 5 is used to compute the expected cash flows in those years. Thereafter, the 8% perpetuity rate is applied to compute the expected dividend in perpetuity. After this, the present values (PV) of these cash flows are computed using the required rate of  return of 11.00%. After this, the present value of the stable dividend growth is computed as an estimate of anticipated future cash flows. The resulting valuation of 10.72798286  is obtained via summation of all present values:

  1. PV of Year 3: 0.182797845  ( 0.25/(1.11ᶺ3 ))
  2. PV of Year 4: 0.247024115  ( 0.375/(1.11ᶺ4) )
  3. PV of Year 5: 0.278328672  (0.469/(1.11ᶺ5) )
  4. PV of dividend in perpetuity: 10.01983222

In a portfolio of three randomly selected stocks, which of the following could NOT be true; i.e., which statement is false?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: b. The beta of the portfolio is higher than the highest of the three betas

Explanation:

The beta of a portfolio is calculated as a weighted average of the individual betas of the individual stocks. As such, the highest individual beta will be the upper limit of the portfolios entire beta.

For instance.

3 stocks A, B and C have betas of 1, 1.3 and 2 respectively.

A has a weight of 1%, B has a weight of 1% and C has a weight of 98%.

The portfolio beta will be;

= (0.01 * 1 ) + ( 0.01 * 1.3) + ( 0.98 * 2)

= 1.98

Even if the stock with the highest beta had an advantage of weighing such a high figure, it it mathematically impossible for the portfolio beta to be higher than it.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Evanson Company

Evanson Company

Flexible Monthly Budget

Activity Level:

Finished goods (Units)          40,000         60,000          80,000

Variable costs:

Direct materials                $560,000     $840,000    $1,120,000

Direct labor                         600,000       900,000     1,200,000

Manufacturing overhead   640,000       960,000     1,280,000

Total variable costs       $1,800,000  $2,700,000  $3,600,000

Fixed manufacturing

 overhead                          135,000         135,000        135,000

Total production costs $1,935,000  $2,835,000  $3,735,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Expected production units per year = 540,000

Average monthly production units = 45,000 (540,000/12)

Manufacturing costs per unit:

Direct materials                            $ 14

Direct labor                                      15

Variable manufacturing overhead 16

Fixed manufacturing overhead       3

Total yearly fixed overhead = $1,620,000 (540,000 * $3)

Monthly fixed overhead = $135,000 ($1,620,000/12)

b) A flexible budget has varying activity levels from one period to the next.  One interesting feature of the flexible budget is that the variable costs are fixed per unit, but their totals vary with the volume levels.  On the other hand, the fixed costs remain static in totals but vary per unit.
