Answer:

Explanation:

Using dividend growth model formula for finding dividend per year can be used to find the growth rate per year;

The formula would be D1 = D0(1+g)

and D2 = D1(1+g)

D3 = D2 (1+g)  and so on....

Starting with 2.00 dividend,  <u>growth rate from yr1-yr2;</u>

2.07 = 2.00*(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.00;

1+g = 2.07/ 2.00

1+g = 1.035

g = 1.035-1

g ( y1-y2) = 0.035 or 3.5%

<u>Growth rate from yr2-yr3;</u>

2.24 = 2.07(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.07;

2.24/2.07 = 1+g

1.0821 = 1+g

1.0821-1 = g

g= 0.0821 or 8.21%

Therefore, g(y2-y3) = 8.21%

<u>Growth rate from yr3-yr4;</u>

2.34 = 2.24(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.24;

2.34/2.24 = 1+g

1.0446 = 1+g

1.0446 -1 =g

g =0.0446 or 4.46%

Therefore, g(y3-y4) = 4.46%

<u>Growth rate from yr4-yr5;</u>

2.50 = 2.34(1+g)

2.50/2.34 = 1+g

1.0684 = 1+g

1.0684-1 = g

g=0.0684 or 6.84%

Therefore, g(y4-y5) = 6.84%

attashe74 [19]

The net present value of the proposed project is closest to -$80,822.

Since the project saves $80,000 in costs each year, we treat these savings income for the next 4 years. We then calculate the Present value Interest Factor of an annuity using the formula :

PVIF of an annuity = { [ 1 - [ (1+r)⁻ⁿ ] } ÷ r

PVIF of an annuity = { [ 1 - [ (1.09)⁻⁴ ] } ÷ 0.09

PVIF of an annuity = 3.240 (rounded to three decimals)

PV of the cost savings = (3.240*80000) = $2,59,178 (rounded to nearest $)

NPV = PV of cost savings - Value of investment

NPV = 2,59,178 - 3,40,000

Virty [35]

Answer:

1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,400 helmets?

3,400 helmets x 064 kgs per helmet = 2,176 kgs

2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,400 helmets?

2,176 kgs x $7 per kg = $15,232

3. What is the materials spending variance?

$15,484 - $15,232 = $252 unfavorable (because total expenditures on materials were higher than budgeted)

4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?

materials price variance = [($15,484/2,346) - $7] x 2,346 = -$938 favorable (the purchase price per kg was lower than budgeted)

materials quantity variance = (2,346 - 2,176) x $7 = $1,190 unfavorable
