Answer:
Use the equation for total return:
total stock return= (P1-P0)+D/P0
P0=Initial Stock Price
P1=Ending Stock Price (Period One)
D=Dividends
-3.15%---Percentage of total return
Dividend Yield-2.41%
Capital Gains-- -5.56%
Answer:
The correct option is D: $8.60
Explanation:
Average fixed cost of Pretty Flowers = $5.40
Average variable costs of Pretty Flowers = $3.20
We are asked to calculate the Average total cost of Pretty Flowers at this current level
Hence:
Average total cost Pretty Flowers = Average fixed cost of Pretty Flowers + Average variable costs of Pretty Flowers
If we substitute the value of these variables in the equation, we get:
Average total cost Pretty Flowers = $5.40 + $3.20 = $8.60
Answer:
(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years
(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%
Explanation:
Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850
The useful life is 5 years
The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year
The salvage value is $107,100
(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows
= cost/amount of cash flow
= 283,850/81,100
= 3.5 years
(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows
First we calculate the depreciation expense
= 283,850-107,100/5
= 176,750/5
= 35,350
Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses
= 283,850-35,350
= 248,500
Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100
= 248,500/283,850 × 100
= 0.875 × 100
= 87.5%
