Suppose that a firm’s recent earnings per share and dividend per share are $2.50 and $1.50, respectively. Both are expected to

grow at 9 percent. However, the firm’s current P/E ratio of 24 seems high for this growth rate. The P/E ratio is expected to fall to 20 within five years.
Compute the dividends over the next five years.

Compute the value of this stock in five years.

Answer:

D0 1.50

D1 1.60

D2 1.78

D3 1.94

D4 2.12

D5 2.31

Price of the stock after 5-year $ 77

PV $ 81.75

Explanation:

Earning per share 2.5

Dividend per share 1.5

grow ratio 9%

P/E ratio 24

within 5 year is expected to fall to 20

We solve for the dividend by multiplying the dividends by the grow rate of 9%

We solve for the earning after 5 years:

Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Amount

Principal 2.50

time 5.00

rate 0.09000

2.5 \: (1+ 0.09)^{5} = Amount

Amount 3.85

Then we multiply by 20 to get the value of the stock:

$ 3.85 x 20 = $ 77

We solve the horizon value:

\frac{D_1}{r-g} = PV\\\frac{D_0(1+g)}{r-g} = PV\\

\frac{1.5(1+0.09)}{0.11 - 0.09} = PV\\

PV $ 81.75

Direct Labor Variances The following data relate to labor cost for production of 20,000 cellular telephones: Actual: 8,450 hrs.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is given below:

a)  

Direct labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) × Actual hours  

= ($22.50 - $23) × 8,450 hours

= -$4,225.00 Favorable

Direct labor time variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard rate  

= (8,450 hours - 8,400 hours) × $23

= $ 1,150.00 Unfavorable

Total direct labor cost variance is

= Direct labor rate variance + Direct labor time variance  

= $4,225 Favorable + $1,150 Unfavorable

= -$3,075.00 Favorable

b.  In the case when the employees are not much experienced or they are poorly trained so the less experience cause to less performance due to which the actual time needed should be more than the standard one
