Answer:
The answer is c. present value index
Explanation:
Present value index is the ratio decided by dividing net present value of the project by its require initial net cash outflows.
Once having constraint on selecting investment with positive NPV to be made due to lack of fund, a firm's usually use Present value index for further decision making.
The investment with higher present value index shows that it generates more net cash flow or in other words, more efficient and requires less initial cash outflow, and thus usually be chosen over the other ones with lower present value index.
Answer:
<u>Night Lights $ per unit 2.13</u>
<u>Desk Lamps $ per unit 8.50</u>
Explanation:
Determine total number of budgeted direct labour hours for the year
total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year is calculated
= night lamp labor hours + desk lamp labor hours
= ( 60000 * 1/2 ) + ( 80000 * 2 )
= 30000 + 160000
= 190000
calculated the single plant wide factory overhead rate
factory overhead rate = total factory overhead / total number of budgeted unit
= 807500 / 190000
= 4.25 per labour hour
calculate factory overhead cost per each unit
night lamp = 4.25 * 1/2
= 2.13 per unit
desk lamp = 4.25 * 2
= 8.50 per unit
Answer:
C. All else being equal, the growth rate of the dividends is greater than 2%
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the fair price of a stock with a constant growth in dividends is as follows,
- P = D1 / r-g
- Where D1 is the dividend next period
- r is the required rate of return
- g is the growth rate in dividends
- P = 1.5 / 0.1 - 0.02 = 18.75
- We are taking 1.5 as D1 as it is the dividend per share DeepMind will pay next year.
So, we will be willing to pay more than 18.75 if the fair price per share today is greater than 18.75. We check all the 3 options.
A. say the required rate is 10.1%
- P = 1.5 / (0.101 - 0.02) = 18.52
- So if the required rate of return increases from 10%, the fair price per share is falling and we will be willing to pay less than 18.75 per share.
B. P = 1.2 / (0.1 - 0.02) = 15
- If D1 = 1.2,the fair price per share will be 15 which is less so we will not be willing to pay more than 15 for such share.
C. Say the growth rate in dividends is 2.1%
- P = 1.5 / (0.1 - 0.021) = 18.99
- The fair price per share increased to 18.99 if the growth rate in dividend increases by 0.1 percentage point. Thus, C is the correct answer
