Answer:

Price of the stock today = $82.35

Explanation:

Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values for year 1 to 8 dividends.

From the attached excel file, we have:

Previous year dividend in year 1 = Dividend just paid = $2.50

Total of dividends from year 1 to year 8 = $23.46345631521910

Year 8 dividend = 8.77863318950395

Therefore, we have:

Year 9 dividend = Year 8 dividend * (100% + Dividend growth rate in year 9) = 8.77863318950395 * (100% + 7%) = 9.39313751276923

Price at year 8 = Year 9 dividend / (Rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) = 9.39313751276923 / (13% - 7%) = $156.552291879487

PV of price at year 8 = Price at year 8 / (100% + Required return)^Number of years = $156.552291879487 / (100% + 13%)^8 = $58.88868846568915

Price of the stock today = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 8 + PV of price at year 8 = $23.46345631521910 + $58.88868846568915 = $82.35

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $0.5

Explanation:

<u>To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formulas:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (5,420 - 2,925) / (8,870 - 3,880)

Variable cost per unit= $0.5

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 5,420 - (0.5*8,870)

Fixed costs= $985

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 2,925 - (0.5*3,880)

Fixed costs= $985

Which statement concerning lower-of-cost-or-net-realizable-value (LCNRV) is incorrect? LCNRV is an example of a company choosing
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The LCNRV basis is justified because of a decline in the selling price of the inventory item

Explanation:

The accounting standard for Inventory under IFRS IAS 2 requires that inventory be recognized at cost which includes all the cost incurred to bring the item of inventory to a state or place where the item of inventory becomes available for sale.

These costs includes cost of purchase, freight, Insurance cost during transit etc.  

Subsequently, inventory is to be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

This is justified where there is a decline in the selling price of inventory as it ensures that the amount stated in the books is fairly representative of the amount that may be realized from the sale of the inventory items.

Which of the following is not a reason why firms experience economies of scale?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": As output increases, the managers can begin to have difficulty coordinating the operations of their firms.

Explanation:

Economies of scale mean that production becomes more efficient as the number of goods being produced increases. In most cases, companies that achieve economies of scale lower the average cost of their products by increasing production. In economies of scale, the cost of each product can depend on the size of the industry or the size of an individual company. The larger the number of products being manufactured does not necessarily imply the most difficult the companies' operations become.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$20 per share

Explanation:

To determine the net asset value we must first calculate the fund's total value minus liabilities:

$120,000,000 - $4,000,000 = $116,000,000

Now we divide the fund's total value by the number of shares issued:

$116,000,000 / 5,800,000 shares = $20 per share
