Answer:
The holding period return is 8%
Explanation:
In this question we need to find the holding period return for the stock, and for that we would need to know what is the stocks current price, what would the stocks price be in one year and how much dividend it will pay during the year. Their last dividend paid was $4 and their dividend is expected to grow at 5% in the future so the dividend paid in the current year would be 4*1.05= 4.2.
To find the current price of the stock we will use the DDM formula
DDM= D*(1+G)/R-G
(4*1.05)/(0.08-0.05)
Price = 140
Now we need to know what the stocks price would be in one year. For that we need to know the previous dividend which is 4.20, the growth rate which is 5% and the required rate of return which is 8%
DDM= (D*(1+G)/R-G
4.2*1.05/0.08-0.05
Price = 147
So now we know the current price, current year dividend and year end price we can calculate the holding period return.
Holding period return = (Dividend +(End of period price-Initial Price))/Initial Price
Dividend = 4.20
End Period Price = 147
Initial Price = 140
Holding period return = 4.20+(147-140)/140
=11.20/140
=0.08
=8%
Answer: a.may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs.
Explanation:
When the cost of production report is being used to analyze change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit when compared to the conversion cost per equivalent unit, we should note that an investigation may end up showing that the fluctuation in the the direct materials costs which then brings about an increase or a decrease.
Therefore, the correct option is A "may increase while conversion costs decrease because the two are separately calculated and depend on separate costs".
