Gremlin Industries will pay a dividend of $ 1.55 per share this year. It is expected that this dividend will grow by 7% per yea

sasho [114]

Answer: 14%

Explanation:

We can calculate this using the Gordon Growth Model which looks like this,

P = D1 / r - g

P is the current stock price

D1 is the next dividend

r is the rate of return or the cost of capital

g is the growth rate.

We have all those figures except the cost of capital so making r the subject of the formula we can solve for it. Doing that will make the formula,

r = D/ P + g

r = 1.55 / 22.10 + 0.07

r = 0.1401

r = 14%

14% is the equity cost of capital.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Total sales tax payable:170, sales :2000

Explanation:

Sale price x sales tax rate = sales tax payable

2000 x .085 (6%+2.5%) = 170

it doesn’t say so I’m assuming that the 2,000 credit sale does NOT include the sales tax due.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The lump sum amount to be deposited should be $27,020.67

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Future value = $60,000

Time, t = 10 years

Interest rate, r = 8% = 0.08

Compounded monthly i.e number of periods n = 12

Now,

Future value = Amount deposited × $\left( 1 + \frac{r}{n} \right)^{\Large{n \times t}}$

Therefore,

on substituting the respective values, we get

$60,000 = Amount deposited × $\left( 1 + \frac{0.08}{12} \right)^{\Large{12 \times 10}}$

$60,000 = Amount deposited × ( 1.00667 )¹²⁰

$60,000 = Amount deposited × 2.220522

Amount deposited = $60,000 ÷ 2.220522

Amount deposited = $27,020.67

Hence,

The lump sum amount to be deposited should be $27,020.67
