Answer:

r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

  • D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period
  • g is the growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return   or market rate of return

Plugging in the values for P0, D1, and g, we can calculate the value of r or market rate of return on the stock to be,

37.73 = 3.70  /  (r - 0.058)

37.73 * (r - 0.058) = 3.7

37.73r - 2.18834 = 3.7

37.73r = 3.7 + 2.18834

r = 5.88834 / 37.73

r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer: work hard; $65; less; $85

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

The Expected profit from working hard will be:

= (90% × $200) + (10% × $50)

= (0.9 × $200) + (0.1 × $50)

= $180 + $5

= $185

Then, the profit will be the difference between revenue and coat which will be:

= $185 - $100

= $85

Then, the expected profit from shirking will be:

= (90% × $50) + (10% × $200)

= (0.90 × $50) + (0.10 × $200)

= $45 + $20

= $65

Then, the profit will be:

= $65 - $0

= $65

Eric will (work hard) because the net gain of ($65) from shirking is (less) than the net gain of ($85) from working hard.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

7.7 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Number of direct labor hours = 700,000 / 25

Number of direct labor hours = 28,000 labor hours

Overhead cost = Shop and repair equipment depreciation + Shop supervisor salaries + Shop property taxes + Shop supplies

Overhead cost = 46,100 + 128,300 + 23,300  + 17,900

Overhead cost = 215,600

Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead cost/Direct labor hours

= 215,600 / 28,000 labor hours

= 7.7 per direct labor hour
