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

Amanda owns a home with a $400,000 replacement value. This January, a snowstorm causes $75,000 in damages to the home. Amanda ha
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Insurer will pay to Amanda $69312.50

Explanation:

As we know that Amanda home replacement value which means the (Property value) is $400,000 and Amanda carries a coverage of amount $300,000 which is her policy limit. Her policy has 80% of coinsurance and snow storm causes a damage of amount $75,000. She has the $1,000 deductible in her policy.

80% of the 400,000 = 320,000

Amanda should have $320,000 but carries the insurance coverage $300,000

So she will get 300,000/320,000= 0.9375

In this scenario as the damage amount is $75,000 she will get $75,000 x 0.9375 which is equal to $70,312.50

Since the deductible amount of her policy is $ 1000 Which will therefore be deducted

Hence   $70312.50 - $1000 = $69312.50

Amanda will get $69312.50

Western Electric has 23,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $57 and a rate of return of 14.2 percent.
Over [174]

Answer:

The firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 34 percent is 12.69%

Explanation:

total assets = common stock value + preferred stock value + debt

                   = 23000*57 + 6000*48 + 350000*102%

                   = 1956000

WACC

= (common stock value/total assets) * common stock rate of return

+ (preferred stock value/total assets) * preferred stock rate of return

+ (debt value/total assets) * yield to maturity of debt * (1-tax rate)

= (1311000/1956000)*14.2%  + (288000/1956000)*7%  + (357000/1956000)*8.49*(1 - 34%)

= 12.69%

Therefore, The firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 34 percent is 12.69%

Widmer Watercraft’s predetermined overhead rate for the year 2017 is 200% of direct labor. Information on the company’s producti
Serggg [28]

Answer / Explanation:

To properly answer this question, we first start by defining what a job cost sheet is.

A job cost sheet is used in job-order costing to accumulate manufacturing costs of a specific job.

We should also note that manufacturing costs include direct material cost, direct labor cost and manufacturing overhead.

Actual direct material and actual direct labor costs are recorded since they can be directly traced to a job but a budgeted overhead cost will typically be applied since actual overhead costs are not known till the end of a period.

With the understanding of what a Job Cost Sheet is, we therefore go ahead to preparing the heading of the cost job sheet. However, kindly note that an attachment have been added below showing proper profiling of jobs worked on during the month.

Direct         Direct   Manufacturing  Total Manufacturing        Cost of unit
