a-1. Earnings Per Share:

Economic Conditions                          Normal    Expansion  Recession

Earnings before interest and taxes = $30,000  $35,400      $24,000

Earnings per share:

Recession = $24,000/8,000                                                       $3.00

Normal = $30,000/8,000                   $3.75

Expansion = $35,400/8,000                                    $4.43

a-2. Percentage changes in EPS:

Recession = -$0.75/$3.75 x 100 = -20%

Normal = $22,000/8,000                   $2.75

Trahan Lumber Company hired you to help estimate its cost of capital. You obtained the following data: D1 = $1.25; P0 = $27.50;
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

B. 9.84%

Explanation:

Given that

D1 = 1.25

P0 = 27.50

g = 5%

F = 6%

Recall that

Cost of equity raised = (D1/P0 - [F × P0]) + g

Thus,

= 1.25/27.50 - [0.06 × 27.50] + 0.05

= 1.25/ 25.85 + 0.05

= 0.04835 + 0.05

= 0.09835

= 0.0984

=9.84%

Which of the following are characteristics of a perpetuity?
QveST [7]

Answer:

B. The value of a perpetuity is equal to the sum of the present value of its expected future cash flows.

C. The current value of a perpetuity is based more on the discounted value of its nearer (in time) cash flows and less by the discounted value of its more distant (in the future) cash flows.

Explanation:

A Perpetuity is a financial instrument that pays the holder forever or in perpetuity. For example, a bank paying you $800 per year for ever because you invested $40,000.

There are certain characteristics

Option B

The Perpetuity like most financial Securities has its value based on the underlying cashflows that it can accumulate. This means that it's value is based on the present value of it's future cashflow so the other the cash payments, the higher the present value.

Option C.

As the discounted cashflows in the nearer future will be discounted less by the discount rate as opposed to the cash flows further in future, the cashflows nearer to the present in time will contribute more to the Perpetuity than the cashflows further in time.

For example using that first example, $800 per year at a rate of 5% will be discounted to $762 in the first year but in year 10 will be discounted to $491.

Preparing a Direct Labor Budget Tulum Inc. makes a Mexican chocolate mix. Planned production in units for the first 3 months of
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Jan = $306 in direct labour costs

Feb = $272 in direct labour costs

March = $357 in direct labour costs

Total for the quarter = $935 in direct labour costs

Explanation:

0.4 hours is 24 minutes

January

= 24 700 units / 24 minutes = 1029  

1029 minutes would be required for 24 700 units

1029 minutes / 60 = 17.15 hours. We round up to 18 hours

18 hours* $17 per hour = $306

Therefore, $306 in direct labour costs  in January

February

= 22 000 units / 24 minutes = 917  

917 minutes would be required to produce 22 000 units

917 minutes / 60 = 15.3 hours. We round up to 16 hours

16 hours * $17 per hour = $272

Therefore, $272 in direct labour costs  in February

March

= 30 200 units / 24 minutes = 1258  

1258 minutes would be required to produce 30 200 units

1258 minutes / 60 = 20.97 hours. We round up to 21 hours

21 hours * $17 per hour = $357

Therefore, $357 in direct labour costs  in March

Total for the quarter = 306 + 272 + 357 = 935

$935 in direct labour costs  for the first quarter
