Answer:
Intrinsic value is $114.30
Explanation:
Given:
Dividend paid = $8
Required rate of return = 7% or 0.07
There is no growth in dividends.
Calculate price of preferred share using DDM as shown below:
Price of preferred share = Dividend paid ÷ Required rate of return
= 8 ÷ 0.07
= $114.28 or $114.3
Therefore, price of preferred share is $114.30
Answer:
A) 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours
Explanation:
Number of machines on manufacturing line = 8
percentage of machine been down = 23%
number of workers capable of running and repairing machines = 2
machine productivity ( per machine ) = 18 units/hour
overhead cost / machine = $713
hourly rate paid per worker = $15
Total number of work hours = 8 hour
A) calculate Total amount of lost worktime
= number of machines * Total number of work hours * 23%
= 8 * 8 * 23% = 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours
Answer:
Xia Co.
1-a. The relevant costs for Xia Co. to make or buy the part:
Direct materials $2.25
Direct labor 1.00
Incremental overhead 0.75
Total relevant cost $4.00
1-b. Xia should make the part. It will cost Xia $4.00 to make the component while it costs it $5.00 to buy. It should therefore, make the component.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of buying component = $5
Cost of making component:
Direct materials $2.25
Direct labor 1.00
Incremental overhead 0.75
Total relevant cost $4.00
b) The relevant cost for making the component is $4.00. The overhead cost based on 200% direct labor is not a relevant cost. It is an allocated fixed cost and must be incurred whatever decision is taken. By making the component, Xia Co. will be netting in a unit contribution of $1 ($5.00 - $4.00) with the alternative of buying.
