Oberholser, Inc., has an issue of preferred stock outstanding that pays a dividend of $3.15 every year in perpetuity. If this is

zepelin [54]

The required rate of return is $3.42%

<h3>What is Perpetuity?</h3>

A constant cash flow with indefinite period of time is called perpetuity. In this question a perpetual payment of dividend is being made. so the price of the share is calculated by the formula of perpetuity.

<u>Given:</u>

Present value of perpetuity = $92 per share

Cash flows = $3.15 every year

Rate of return can be calculated from the perpetuity formula

Present value of perpetuity = Cash flows / Required rate of return

$92 = $3.15 / Required rate of return

Required rate of return = $3.15 / $92

= 0.0342

= $ 3.42%

Therefore the Required return for Oberholser, Inc will be 3.42%.

Granite State Airlines serves the route between New York and Portsmouth, NH, with a single-flight-daily 100-seat aircraft. The o

TEA [102]

Answer:

Given data: One flight with total seats = 100

Full fare passengers, cost per ticket=$150, mean=56 passengers, SD=23

Discount fare passengers, cost per ticket=$100, mean=88 passengers, SD=44

(a) Here, though there is a hint to use the CDF, since the confidence interval is not given we will make some simplying assumptions that will reduce the complexity of the question, of course keeping the question statistically correct.

this question wants us to maximize total revenue per flight (one way), we can do that by taking only full fare passengers or total revenue will be 150*100=$15,000, but since historical probability shows a mean of 56 with a standard deviation of 23, we can assume in best case scenario total full fare ticket passengers will be 56+23=79, leaving 21 tickets for discount passenger, in this case the total revenues will be 79*150+21*100=$13,950

(b) Now, the new constrained policy is giving a clear cut number of seats to each category of pasengers, 44 for discount (total revenues 44*100) and 56 for full fare (total revenues 56*150) both of which are within the probabilities given earlier (full fare mean=56, discount mean=88). Total revenues in case will be 44*100+56*150=$12,800.

(c) Gain is the difference of the excess revenues in both cases of optimal total revenues and limited seats policy or answer (a) - answer (b) = $13,950- $12,800=$1,150

(d) Realistically speaking, there is no answer for this question without a clear cut confidence interval. Another simplifying assumption we can make here is taking the mean passengers as expected bookings (can be tweaked once confidence interval or degree of significance is given). so total revenues in this case will be 44*100 from discount and 56*150 from full fare passengers. That is still similar to answer (c) due to our assumption/lack of constraints, so our optimal booking will be 54 full fare tickets and 44 discount passenger tickets. You can also take worst case scenario by subtracting SD of each passenger type from the mean or go the best case scenario in which SD of full fare will be added to the mean while the pending seats (left over from 100) will be the total to discount fare for optimal revenue collection.

Elite Stationary employs 20 full-time employees and 10 trainees. Direct and indirect costs are applied on a professional labor

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Since cost per hour of full-time employees is $150, while cost per hour of trainees $27, clients using proportionately more full-time employees than trainees will <u>be under billed or charged for the resources or labor hour used</u>.

Explanation:

The data in the question are merged and they are first separated before answering the question as follows:

Details Budget Actual

Indirect costs $250,000 $400,000

Annual salary of each employee $200,000 $250,000

Annual salary of each trainee $40,000 $45,000

Total professional labor-hours 40,000 dlh 50,000 dlh

In normal costing system, actual costs are used.

Therefore, labor hours for each category and cost per hour can be calculated as follows:

Full-time employees total labor hours = (20/30) * 50,000 = 33,333 hours

Each full-time employee annual labor hour = 33,333/20 = 1,667 hours

Cost per hour of full-time employees = $250,000/1,667 = $150 per hour

Trainee total labor hours = (10/30) * 50,000 = 16,667 hours

Each trainee annual labor hours = 16,667/10 = 1,667 hours

Cost per hour of trainees = $45,000/1,667 = $27 per hour
