Results are below.
Explanation:
<u>To calculate the activities rates, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Cutting= 360,000 / 200,000= $1.8 per machine hour
Design= 630,000 / 1,500= $420 per setup
<u>Now, we need to determine the predetermined overhead rate for the whole company based on direct labor hours:</u>
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 990,000 / 450,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.2 per direct labor hour
Answer:
$321 per share.
Explanation:
Given that
Annual cash flows = $18,000
Number of shares outstanding = 100
Dividend per share = $180
Required rate of return = 8%
So by considering the above information, the present value of the share of a stock is
Present value of share = Dividend received × Present value of $1 received every year at the end of year 2 at 8%
= $180 × 1.7832
= $321 per share.
