Purpose of a bank reconciliation statement.
A bank reconciliation statement is used to compare your record to those of your bank to see if there is difference between the two sets of records. The ending balance of your version of cash records is known as the book balance while the bank`s version is known as bank balance. It is common for there to be a difference in the two balances. The results to the differences might be due to overdrawn bank account, bounced checks and overdraft fees. It is important for you to check the difference because there might be substantial variance between the amount you think you have and that the bank thinks you have. In some cases the bank may even elect to close down your account.

Maren received 10 NQOs (each option gives her the right to purchase 8 shares of stock for $8 per share) at the time she started
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Sale of share = NQOs received × No. of shares × Selling price per share

                      = 10 × 8 × $22

                      = $1,760

Gain realised:

= Sale of share - Basis

= $1,760 - [NQOs received × No. of shares × Selling price per share at $15]

= $1,760 - [10 × 8 × $15]

= $1,760 - $1,200

= $560

Tax paid = Gain realised × preferential rate

               = $560 × 15%

               = $84

labwork [276]

Answer:

Microsoft presently pays no dividend. You anticipate Microsoft will pay an annual dividend of $0.60 per share two years from tod
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The value of this stock today should be $6.22

Explanation:

The company will start paying dividends 2 years from today that is at t=2. The dividends received 2 years from today can be denoted as D2. The constant growth model of DDM will be used to calculate the price of this stock at t=2 as the growth rate in dividends is constant forever.

The price at t=2 will then be discounted back to its present value today to calculate the price of this stock today.

The price of this stock at t=2 will be,

P2 = D2 * (1+g) / (r - g)

P2 = 0.6 * (1+0.04)  /  (0.12 - 0.04)

P2 = $7.8

The value of this stock today should be,

P0 = 7.8 / (1+0.12)^2

P0 = $6.218 ROUNDED OFF TO $6.22
