Answer:

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of DDM we calculate the price of a stock today which is expected to pay a dividend which increases at a constant rate through out. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return or cost of equity
  • g is the constant growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available values in the formula, we calculate r to be,

74.11 = 4.63 / (r - 0.0375)

74.11 * (r - 0.0375) = 4.63

74.11r - 2.779125 = 4.63

74.11r = 4.63 + 2.779125

r = 7.409125 / 74.11

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%

Which of the following organisations is most likely to sell shares for sale to invited investors?
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

C. Private limited company

Explanation:

Ownership in a private limited company is restricted, unlike in a public limited company. The shareholders of a private limited company are usually family members, close friends, or people with a shared interest.

A private limited company can raise capital by selling additional shares. Because becoming a shareholder in a private limited company is restricted, private companies raise capital by selling shares to existing shareholders or to invited investors.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Equivalent units

a) Weighted average =  523,200 units

b)  FIFO =  480,000 units

Explanation:

<em>FIFO Method.</em>

<em>Fully worked units</em><em>: These represent units of inventory that were started in a current period and completed that same period. The fully worked units are calculated in order to separate the opening inventory from  the the newly introduced when accounting for completed units under the FIFO.</em>

For magic company , fully worked units is

= 480,000 - 72,000 = 408,000 units

Equivalent units using Weighted Average

<em>Here, there are no distinction between opening inventory and the newly introduced</em>.

                                                            <em>            Equivalent Units</em>

Completed unit                    (100%× 480,000) = 480,000

Closing inventory                (60% × 72,000) = <u>     43,200</u>

Total equivalent units                                       <u>523,200</u>

Equivalent Units using FIFO

Item                                                               <em>Equivalent Units</em>

Opening inventory              (40% × 72,000) =  28,800

Fully worked                        (100%× 408,00) = 408,000

Closing inventory                (60% × 72,000) = <u> 43,200</u>

Total equivalent units                                     <u>480,000 </u>

<u />

Equivalent units

a) Weighted average =  523,200 units

b)  FIFO =  480,000 units

For Bonita Sports Corporation, year-end plan assets were $4,250,000. At the beginning of the year, plan assets were $3,974,000.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

Year-end plan assets were $4,250,000

At the beginning of the year, plan assets were $3,974,000

So Actual Return on Plan Assets = (4,250,000 - 3,974,000) - (420,000 - 365,000)

Actual Return on Plan Assets = 276,000 - (55,000)

Actual Return on Plan Assets = 221,000
