Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $4 to $2.50 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to

the announcement, Cooperton’s dividends were expected to grow at a 3% rate, and its share price was $50. With the planned expansion, Cooperton’s dividends are expected to grow at a 5% rate. What share price would you expect after the announcement? (Assume that the new expansion does not change Cooperton’s risk.) Is the expansion a good investment?

Answer: Share price after announcement is $41.67.

The Expansion is not a good investment.

Explanation:

To solve this we would need to first calculate the cost of equity. Given the Initial stock price as well as the dividend and growth rate, we are able to calculate the cost of equity using the Gordon Growth Formula which is,

Sp = D1/ (r - g)

Where,

Sp is stock price

D1 is the next dividend

r is cost of equity

g is growth rate.

Inserting the figures we have,

50 = 4 / ( r - 3%)

50 ( r - 3%) = 4

r = 4/50 + 3%

r = 11%

Given that we now know r, we can calculate the new stock price using the same formula,

Sp = D1/ ( r - g)

Sp = 2.5 ( 11% - 5%)

Sp = $41.67

The stock price after the announcement became $41.67.

The Expansion is NOT a good investment as it leads to a reduction in Stock Price.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

  1. total product costs incurred to make 27,500 units = $25.10 x 27,500 = $690,250
  2. total period costs incurred to make 27,500 units = $15.10 x 27,500 = $415,250
  3. total product costs incurred to make 31,000 units = $25.10 x 31,000 = $778,100
  4. total period costs incurred to make 24,000 units = $15.10 x 24,000 = $362,400

Explanation:

                                                       Average Cost per Unit

  • Direct materials                                   $8.90
  • Direct labor                                           $5.90
  • Variable manufacturing overhead   $3.40
  • Fixed manufacturing overhead           $6.90
  • Fixed selling expense                           $5.40
  • Fixed administrative expense           $4.40
  • Sales commissions                           $2.90
  • Variable administrative expense           $2.40

Product costs include direct labor, direct materials, production supplies, and factory overhead. Product costs per unit = $8.90 + $5.90 + $3.40 + $6.90 = $25.10

Period costs include selling and administrative expenses. Period costs per unit = $5.40 + $4.40 + $2.90 + $2.40 = $15.10

How do trade-offs decided by corporations and government impact our lives?
Fittoniya [83]

Explanation:

Trade offs are something in which there are two things and we choose one of them according to our own preference or need. This is and should be our personal decision, but when Corporations and Governments decide on what to choose between two things, there would might be a negative impact on someone's life. He might feel controlled by the corporations and governments. For example, if corporations of CNG decides with the government that it is better for consumers to use CNG than Petrol in their cars, and lowers taxes on CNG and encourage consumers to shift towards CNG, then this trade off will have an impact of being controlled by the big giants. The choice should be of consumer's. The consumer should be the one who will trade off between things who are preferable for him.
