Answer:

None of the options are correct as the price today will be $26.786

Explanation:

The price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate forever can be calculated using the constant growth model of the dividend discount model approach (DDM). The DDM bases the value of a stock on the present value of the future expected dividends from the stock.

The formula for price under constant growth model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

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

However, as the constant growth rate in dividends is to be applied from Year 2 onwards, we will use the D2 to calculate the price at Year 1 and we will then discount this further for one year to calculate the price today.

P1 or Year1 price  =  2 * (1+0.05) / (0.12 - 0.05)

P1 or Year 1 price = $30

The price of the stock today or P0 will be,

P0 = 30 / (1+0.12)

P0 = $26.786

The computation of the price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:

Price elasticity of demand = (Percentage change in quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price)

where,

Percentage change in quantity demanded is

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded)

And,

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

840 breads size oven.

Explanation:

According to Little's law,

Inventory = flow rate × flow time

Inventory (I) is the number of flow units that are currently handled by a business process.

I= unknown

Flow rate (R) is the number of flow units going through the business process per unit time.

R= 4200 breads per hour or 70 breads per minute (4200/60)

Flow time (T) is the amount of time a flow unit spends in a business process from beginning to end.

T= 12 minutes.

Inventory = flow rate × flow time

Inventory = 70 breads per minute × 12 minutes

Inventory = 840 breads size oven

Therefore, for the company to produce 4200 breads per minute, 840 breads size oven is required.

Industry averages for the following profitability ratios are as follows:

Gross profit ratio 45 %

Asset turnover 8.5 times

Return on equity 35 %

Gross profit ratio: = Gross profit/Sales * 100

= $8,110,000/$20,710,000 * 100

= 39.2%

Return on assets = Net income/Assets * 100

= $1,980,000/$9,900,000 * 100

= 20%

Profit margin = Net Income/Sales * 100

= $1,980,000/$20,710,000 * 100

= 9.6%

Asset turnover = Sales/Total Assets

= $20,710,000/$9,900,000 = 2.1 times

Return on equity = Net Income/Total Equity * 100

= $1,980,000/$5,300,000 * 100

= 37.4%
