Answer:

The correct option is $1.14

Explanation:

D1=D0*(1+g)

D1 is year 1 dividend

g growth rate of dividend of 15%

D1=$0.54*(1+15%)

D1=$0.54*(1+0.15)

D1=$0.54*1.15

D1=$0.621 00

D2=$0.621*1.15

D2=$0.71415

We need to apply the discount factor to each of the dividends,the discount factor is 1/(1+r)^n

r is the rate of return of 11%

n is the relevant year

present value of year 1 dividend=$0.62100*1/(1+11%)^1

present value of year 1 dividend=$0.559459459

Present value of year 2=$0.71415*1/(1+11%)^2

Present value of year 2=$0.579620161

Total value present values=$0.559459459 +$0.579620161

                                            =$1.14

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The answer is $47,000

Explanation:

Accounting profit profit doesn't consider opportunity cost. So the value for opportunity cost will be left out. It is Economic profit that considers opportunity cost.

Accounting profit = revenue - cost(explicit cost which is all cost involved in directly running the business e.g cost of sales, electricity cost, wage etc.)

Revenue = $64,000

Explicit cost = $17,000

Therefore, Accounting profit is

$64,000 - $17,000

=$47,000

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

But it should offer his normal fee

Explanation:

Sales revenue 736,000

Cost Labor      (466,000)

Lease                 (49,300)

Rent                   (42,400)

Supplies            (32,300)

Tom salary     <u>    (73,500)  </u>

Operating profit 50,500

increase in labor cost 58,800

increase in lease           4,930

supplies increase          3,230

the rent is a fixed cost, it would not change.

Total incremental cost: 66,960‬

It would need to charge at least 66,960 to break even.

Anyway, Tom should offer their normal fee as this job takes responsabilities and use Tom capacity to attend other client as it would invest time on this store rather than other projects
