Answer:

  • <u>15.7%</u>

Explanation:

The <em>price</em> of a <em>stock</em> can be modeled by the present value of the stream of future <em>dividends</em> discounted at a rate equal to the<em> return expected</em>.

The equation, when the dividends are expected to <em>grow</em> at a constant rate, less than the return rate is:

        Price_0=\dfrac{Div_1}{r-g}

Where:

  • Price₀ is the <em>current price</em>: $44.12
  • Div₁ is the <em>dividend </em>to be paid a year from now: $0.46 × 1.145 = $0.53
  • g is the expected constant <em>growth rate</em>: 14.5% = 0.145
  • r is the <em>expected return</em>

Then, you can solve for r:

      r=\dfrac{Div_1}{Price_0}+g

        r=\dfrac{\$ 0.53}{\$ 44.12}+0.145=0.157=15.7\%

Vaughn Manufacturing has estimated that total depreciation expense for the year ending December 31, 2021 will amount to $591000,
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

$915,000

Explanation:

Because half of the depreciation expense, and the expense on bonuses has already been reported by June 30,2021 (the half of the year), only hafl of the total money spent on the two items will have to be reported for the interim income statement ended on December 31, 2021:

$591,000 / 2 = $295,500

$1,240,000 / 2 = $620,000

Now, we simply add up these two figures:

$295,500 + $620,000 = $915,000

​Ronald, Ross, and Carol opened a partnership firm. Ronald has a capital of​ $77,000; Ross has a capital of​ $119,000; and Carol
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A. Carol, Capital is debited for $4,500

Explanation:

The question says to determine amount to be included in the journal entry to record Ronald's withdrawal from the partnership

Assumption: Equal Profit- loss sharing is the agreement between the existing partners.

First premise: Ronald's Capital in the Partnership = $77,000

However, Ronald received a payment of $86,000 meaning that there is an excess of $86,000-$77,000= $9,000

Since the agreement is equal profit and loss sharing, it means each of Ross and Carol will contribute 1/2 of the $9,000.

The journal entry to record this transaction is as follows:

Particulars                                          Debit                     Credit

Carol Capital Account                      $4,500

Ross Capital Account                       $4,500

Ronald Capital Account                                                  $9,000

Being the equal contribution of excess amount paid to Ronald on exit from the partnership by Carol and Ross.

Based on the multiple choices, the correct answer is Carol, Capital is debited for $4,500
