6 0

Answer:

$23,088.62

Explanation:

We must determine the present value of Liam's investment discounted by his opportunity cost rate. The present value formula is:

PV = FV / (1 + r)ⁿ

  • FV = $52,000
  • r = 7%
  • n = 12

PV = $52,000 / (1 + 7%)¹² = $52,000 / 2.2522

PV = $23,088.62

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The expected price after 1 year would be$55.5

Explanation:

According to the given data,

Price of the stock (Po) = $50

Dividend after 1year (D1) = $2

Equity cost of capital (KE) =15%

The formula for calculating the price after 1 year i.e.,(P1 ) is

                         

                          Po = (D1 + P1 )/ 1+KE                                      $50= ($2 + P1) / (1+0.15)

                        P1 = [$50(1.15)] - $2 = $55.5

Yuri [45]

Answer:

a. 7,900

b. 10,100

Explanation:

As for the provided information,

We know at break even point taxes shall be = 0 as there are no profits and no losses.

a. At break even: = \frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution}

Fixed Cost = $308,100

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable cost = $79 - $40 = $39

Therefore, break even units = \frac{308,100}{39} = 7,900 smokers

b. In case the company wants a profit of $51,480 after tax @ 40% then,

Earnings before taxes = \frac{51,480}{1 - 0.4} = $85,800

Therefore, number of units = \frac{Fixed\ Cost + Profit\ before\ tax}{Contribution\ per\ unit}

= \frac{308,100 + 85,800}{39} = 10,100
