Current ROI 8.72%

Operating Income 443,592

Operating assets 5,087,200

Crystal Glass recently paid $3.60 as an annual dividend. Future dividends are projected at $3.80, $4.10, and $4.25 over the next
lora16 [44]

Answer:

$41.96

Explanation:

The first thing you need to do is to calculate terminal value at the end of time t = 3. Then the intrinsic value of the stock is sum of discounted cashflow from t =1 to t = 3 (cashflows at t = 3 includes dividend as well as terminal value).

Terminal value at t = 3 = Dividend in year 4/(Required rate of return - Dividend growth)

                                     = 4.25 x (1 + 3%)/(12.5% - 3%)

                                     = 46.08

Then value of the stock is calculated as below:

Stock intrinsic value = 3.8/(1 + 12.5%) + 4.1/(1 + 12.5%)^2 + (4.25 + 46.08)/(1 + 12.5%)^3

                                  = 41.96

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

"The budgeted cost of goods sold" for June would be $5,640,000

Explanation:

Sales department budget for June = 220,000  units

Less-Opening balance as on 1st June = 72,000  units

Add-Closing balance as on 30th June = 40,000  units

No of unit manufactured = Sales department budget for June  - Opening balance as on 1st June + Closing balance as on 30th June

= 220,000 - 72,000 + 40,000

= 188,000  units

Cost per unit = $30

Budgeted cost of manufactured = 188,000 × $30 = $5,640,000

Horford Co. has no debt. Its cost of capital is 8.9 percent. Suppose the company
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A. 12.1%

B. 8.9%

Explanation:

a. Calculation for What is the company's new cost of equity

Using this formula

New cost of equity=Cost of capital+[(Cost of capital- Debt interest rate ) *(Debt-equity ratio)*(1)]

Let plug in the formula

New cost of equity=[0.089+[(0.089-0.057)*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.089+0.032*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=[0.121*(1)*1]

New cost of equity=0.121*100

New cost of equity=12.1%

Therefore the company's new cost of equity will be 12.1%

b. Calculation for What is its new WACC

Particular Weight Cost Weighted cost

Equity 0.5000 *12.1% = 0.0605

Debt 0.5000 * 5.7% =0.0285

WACC =0.089*100

WACC =8.9%

(0.0605+0.0285)

Therefore the new WACC will be 8.9%
