Standardization and innovation play critical roles in the development of goods and services. Standardization allows for a stabilized starting point in which to move forward and develop other goods and services which is related to innovation. Standardization provides stability, a known factor which can be relied upon, whereas innovation is riskier and may not come to be successful endeavor. However, like all risk, that is the payoff for the investment in innovation, for if the innovative good or service can be successfully brought to market, the dividends for a payout can be well worth it.
Answer:
9.6845%
Explanation:
Market risk premium = Market return - Risk free rate
7.3 = 11.2 - Risk free rate
Risk free rate = 3.9%
(1) Use CAPM:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Market risk premium
= 3.9% + 1.06(7.3)
= 11.638%
(2) Use DDM
:
Stock price = [Latest dividend × (1 + dividend growth rate)] ÷ (Cost of equity-dividend growth rate)
$17 = [0.92 (1 + 0.022)] ÷ (Cost of equity - 0.022)
Cost of equity = 7.731%
Cost of equity = average value from using DDM and CAPM
Cost of equity = 0.5 (7.731 + 11.638)
= 9.6845%

Answer:
Koski Inc.
Quick Ratio:
Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) divided by Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = $(23,595 - 12,480) / $(17,160 -5,460)
Quick Ratio = 11,115 / 11,700 = 0.95
Explanation:
The quick ratio is a financial metric that shows the short-term liquidity position of a company. It measures the company's ability to settle its short-term obligations using its most liquid current assets. The most liquid assets are cash and near cash current assets.
Inventory is always removed in calculating the most liquid current assets. Inventory will take some time before it can be converted to cash or near cash, given the cash conversion cycle.
The quick ratio is also called the acid-test ratio. It is also considered as more conservative than the current ratio which measures the coverage of current liabilities by all current assets, including inventory.
In our workings, we eliminated inventory from current assets. We also eliminated notes payable which would be rolled over the next year.
