Answer:
U.S. appliance manufacturers would be more likely successful if they used a <u>Transnational</u> marketing strategy
Explanation:
Transnational marketing strategy is a more personalized approach to selling and marketing with target customers need, shopping preferences and specifications put into consideration in the designing of the goods and services.
This strategy applies to the U.S. appliance manufacturers selling to different countries.
Therefore, people in Northern Europe who shop only once a week will be presented with bigger refrigerators while Southern Europeans who shop daily can opt for smaller ones.
Answer:
Risk-free rate (Rf) = 8%
Return on market portfolio (Rm) = 15%
Beta (β) = 1.2
Ke = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
Ke = 8 + 1.2(15 - 8)
Ke = 8 + 1.2(7)
Ke = 8 + 8.4
Ke = 16.40%
Earnings per share (EPS) = $10
Current dividend paid (Do) = 40% x $10 = $4
Retention rate (b) = &6/$10 x 100 = 60% = 0.6
ROE (r) = 20% = 0.2
Growth rate (g) = b x r
= 0.6 x 0.2
= 0.12 = 12%
Current market price (Po)
= Do<u>(1 + g) </u>
Ke - g
= $4<u>(1 + 0.12)</u>
0.1640 - 0.12
= $4<u>(1.12)</u>
0.044
= $101.82
Explanation:
First and foremost, we need to calculate the cost of equity based on capital asset pricing model. Then, we will determine the growth rate, which is a function of retention rate (b) and return on equity(r).
Finally, we will calculate the current market price, which is dividend paid, subject to growth, divided by the excess of cost of equity over growth rate.
Answer:
The correct answer is add $72 to the book's balance.
Explanation:
Bank reconciliation is a way of identifying discrepancies between the cash book balance (company's books) and the bank balance (balance per bank statement). The discrepancies can be as a result of erroneous posting, deposit in transit, outstanding checks, etc.
In the instance of the question, there was an erroneous posting in the cash book of $72 ($480 - $408). Instead of crediting cash book by $408, it was rather credited by $480 - meaning that the credit was overstated by $72. <em>To correct this erroneous posting, we have to add back $72 to the cash book balance.</em>
Answer:
The appropriate journal entry to record the March purchases of shares under the employee share purchase plan are as follows:
Debit: Cash ($12 × 85%) × $50,000 = $510,000
Debit: Compensation Expense ($12 × 8%) × $50,000 = $90,000
Credit: Common Stock = $50,000
Paid in Capital – Excess of Par ($50,000 × $11) = $550,000
