Answer:
1. Group potential buyers into segments.
2. Group products to be sold into categories.
3. Develop a market-product grid and estimate the size of markets.
4. Select target markets.
5. Take marketing actions to reach target markets.
Solution :
Given :
The bonds offer a 
of 4.5% per year
Tax rate = 10% = 0.10
Inflation rate = 2
= + 
= 2 + 4.5
= 6.5
= 
= 
= 5.85
After tax real interest rate = 
-
= 5.85 - 2.0
= 3.85
= 7.0
= +
= 7 + 4.5
= 11.5
= 
= 10.35
= 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)
= 11.5 x 0.90
= 10.35
= -
= 10.35 - 7.0
= 3.35
Putting all the value in table :
Real interest Nominal interest After tax nominal After tax
rate rate interest rate interest rate
2.0 4.5 6.5 5.85 3.85
7.0 4.5 11.5 10.35 3.35
Comparing with the 
, a 
will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.
Answer:
The correct answer for option (a) is 28.29% and for option (B) is 2.65%.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Initial price = $117
Ending price = $147
Dividend = $3.10
(a) We can calculate the Total return percentage by using following formula:
Total return percentage = ( Ending Price - Initial Price + Dividend) ÷ Initial Price
By putting the value, we get
Total return percentage = ( $147 - $117 + $3.10) ÷ ( $117)
= 28.29% (approx).
(b). we can calculate the dividend yield by using following formula:
Dividend Yield = Dividend ÷ Initial Price
By putting the value, we get
Dividend Yield = $3.10 ÷ $117
= 2.65%
Answer:
e) $37.05
Explanation:
Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.
So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula
P = D (1+g)/r-g
r- rate of return, g = growth rate
Present value of the future dividends:
PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)
= 1.4047
PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)
= 1.27
PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)
Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend
= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)
=43.114
Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend
=43.114 × (1.12^(-2))
= 34.37
Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37
= $37.05
Note
To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0
Answer:
Dr Retained earnings $8.2
Cr Inventory $8.2
Explanation:
By changing method of an inventory valuation, the company should apply it retrospectively based on IAS 8 guidelines on change in accounting estimates and errors. Thus, the said difference from FIFO method to Weighted Average method of valuation should be credited directly against Retained earnings account because, accounts are already closed right after the year ended.
$32-$23.8= $8.2 million
To record the said adjustment you have to
Debit Retained earnings and credit Inventory in the amount of $8.2 million.
