Required:
a. Find the current price of the stock.
b. Find the expected before-tax rate of return for a 1-year holding period.
c. Now suppose that the dividend will be $3 per share. If the expected after-tax rate of return is still 10%, and investors still expect the stock to sell at $20 in 1 year, at what price must the stock now sell?

Answer:

a. $28.5

b. 12.28%

c.  $29.18

d. 13.09%

Explanation:

a. let current price = p

p*1.10 = 2(1-0.3)+30

= 1.4+30/1.10

= 31.4/1.10

= 28.5

the current price of the stock is approximately 28.5 dollars

b. (30+2 /28.5)-1

= 32/28.5 - 1

= 0.1228

= 12.28%

expected before tax rate is 12.28%

c. 3(1-0.3)+30 / 1.10

= 3*0.7+30/1.10

= $29.18

d. before tax rate of return

= (3$ + 30-29.18)/29.18

= 0.1309

= 13.09%

it is now higher here given that given that a greater dividend causes more tax burden.

In a task assignment situation, in how many different ways can five jobs be assigned to five machines if each job must be assign
Tcecarenko [31]
<span>120
   The simple answer is that 5 items can be arranged 5! (5 factorial) different ways. But let's expand upon that brief answer. We have 5 jobs and 5 machines with which to perform those jobs. So let's look at the 1st machine. Any of 5 of the jobs may be assigned to it. Now we have 4 jobs left unassigned. So let's look at the 2nd machine. For that machine, any of the 4 remaining jobs may be assigned to it, leaving 3 unassigned jobs. We can continue in that fashion, assigning at random one the of 3 remaining jobs to the 3rd machine, one of the 2 remaining jobs to the 4th machine, and finally, the only unassigned job to the 5th machine. So there's 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 5! = 120 different ways to assign those 5 jobs to all 5 machines.</span>

QS 19-10 Computing contribution margin LO P2 D’Souza Company sold 6,000 units of its product at a price of $88.00 per unit. Tota
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$218,400

Explanation:

The computation of contribution margin is here below:-

                                               Units       Cost per unit         Total

Sales                                     6,000        $88                       $528,000

Less:

Variable production cost     6,000        $40.8                  $244,800

Variable selling and

administrative costs        6,000         $10.8                   $64,800

Contribution margin                                                           $218,400

Therefore the we multiplied the sale unit with cost per unit, in the similar way we multiplied the Variable production cost unit with cost per unit and Variable selling and administrative costs with cost per unit to reach the contribution margin.

Assume the demand for crack cocaine is inelastic and that users get the funds to pay for their crack by stealing. Suppose that t
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Total Revenue of Cocaine will increase.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is demand responsiveness to price change.

Price & Total Revenue have relationships as per Elasticity of Demand :

  • Elastic Demand >1 : Change in quantity demanded  >  change in price ; Price & Total Revenue negatively related.
  • Inelastic Demand < 1 : Change in quantity demanded < price change ; Price & Total Revenue positively related

Given : Demand for crack cocaine is inelastic. If government increases penalties on cocaine supply, number of dealers decrease.

Then , the supply of cocaine will fall. Supply Shortage will increase the price. However - because demand is inelastic , total revenue will increase as a result of price rise.

According to John Kotter, which of the following actions will adversely influence refreezing efforts?A) the absence of a visionB
dedylja [7]

Answer:

D) declaring victory too soon

Explanation:

John Kotter in this theory of leadership explains the concept and importance of change. He basically believes that the company shall be currently functional.

By the term currently functional he means that the company shall be updated and working on with the current market trend. This means the company shall not be resistant to change and that the management shall take a note of it.

Further in the moving scenario there is no freezing point - the company shall constantly work on the new things which it can improve and excel.

Thus, final confirmation cannot be made soon as towards the change made.
