Answer:
New price (P1) = $72.88
Explanation:
Given:
Risk-free rate of interest (Rf) = 5%
Expected rate of market return (Rm) = 17%
Old price (P0) = $64
Dividend (D) = $2
Beta (β) = 1.0
New price (P1) = ?
Computation of expected rate on return:
Expected rate on return (r) = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
Expected rate on return (r) = 5% + 1.0(17% - 5%)
Expected rate on return (r) = 5% + 1.0(12%)
Expected rate on return (r) = 5% + 12%
Expected rate on return (r) = 17%
Computation:
Expected rate on return (r) = (D + P1 - P0) / P0
17% = ($2 + P1 - $64) / $64
0.17 = (2 + P1 - $64) / $64
10.88 = P1 - $62
New price (P1) = $72.88
Answer:
19%
Explanation:
Given that,
Nominal GDP in 2010 = $200 billion
Nominal GDP in 2009 = $180 billion
GDP deflator in 2010 = 125
GDP deflator in 2009 = 105
Percentage change in prices:
= Percentage change in GDP deflator
= (Change in GDP deflator ÷ GDP deflator in 2009) × 100
= [(125 - 105) ÷ 105] × 100
= (20 ÷ 105) × 100
= 0.19 × 100
= 19%
Therefore, the prices increases by 19%.
Answer:
A. True.
Explanation:
Companies can and often do use different costing methods for financial reporting and tax reporting. The only exception is when LIFO is used for tax reporting; in this case the IRS requires that it also be used in financial statements.
LIFO assigns the highest amount to cost of goods sold - yielding the lowest gross profits and net income , which also yields a temporary tax advantage by postponing payment of some income tax.
