Answer:

0.11 or 11%

Explanation:

The computation of the required rate of return is given below:

Required Rate of Return is

= Next Year Dividend ÷ Current Market Price + Growth Rate

= $3.15 ÷ $52.50 + 0.05

= 0.06 + 0.05

= 0.11 or 11%

working note

Given that

Current Market Price = $52.50

As we know that

Growth Rate = Return on Equity × Retained Earning Ratio

Now

Return on Equity = EPS ÷ Book Value of Share

= $5 ÷ 40

= 12.50%

So,

Retained Earning Ratio is

= 1 - Dividend Payout Ratio

= 1 - 0.60

= 0.40

And,

Dividend Payout Ratio = DPS ÷ EPS

= $3 ÷ $5

= 0.60

Now

Growth Rate = 12.50% × 0.40

= 5%

So,

Next Year Dividend = Dividend Recently paid × (1 + growth rate )

= $3 × 1.05

= $3.15

Five hundred units of good x are currently bought and sold. The marginal buyer is willing to pay $40 for the 500th unit, and the

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

D : All options are correct

Explanation:

- The marginal buyer is the essence of demand curve while marginal seller is essence of supply curve.

- @ Q = 500 units, Selling Price is set at SP = $35

- @ Q = 500 units, Buying Price is set at BP = $40

- Since, SP ≠ BP our equilibrium price would be $ 37.5 assuming the price elasticity of demand and supply are equal. In any case the equilibrium price would lie in between [ 35 , 40 ] such that to prevent a shortage of units in near future.

- Moreover, if the seller decides to sell at price $35 then he must sell goods greater than 500 units to reach the equilibrium profits. However, it could also lead to excess of units or surplus.

- We see that from selling the goods at SP = $35 while the buyer is willing to pay BP = $40 for 500 goods, the seller would be under-profiting and would be earning $5*500 = $2,500 less than he would at equilibrium price of $40 and selling units greater than 500. Hence, 500 goods is not an efficient quantity of goods.

Lupo Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. The

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Selling price= 240*1.4= $336

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (252,000/30,000) + 2.1

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $10.5 per machine hour

Job T687:

Number of units in the job 10

Total machine-hours 30

Direct materials $ 675

Direct labor cost $1,050

Now, we need to allocate overhead and determine the total cost:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 10.5*30= $315

Total cost= 675 + 1,050 + 315= $2,040

Finally, the unitary cost and selling price:

Unitary cost= 2,040/10= $240

Selling price= 240*1.4= $336

Yield to Maturity and Call with Semiannual Payments Thatcher Corporation's bonds will mature in 12 years. The bonds have a face

Dovator [93]

Answer:

rounding to two decimal places: 11.11%

Explanation:

we can se the approximate formula for YTM

$YTM = \frac{C + \frac{F-P}{n }}{\frac{F+P}{2}}$

C= 57.5 (1,000 x 11.5%/2)

Face value = 1000

P= 1050 (market value)

n= 24 (12 years x 2 payment per year)

$YTM = \frac{57.5 + \frac{1,00 - 1,050}{24}}{\frac{1,000+1,050}{2}}$

semiannual YTM = 5.4065041%

This is a semiannual rate as we consider semiannula payment.

We need to convert into annual rate:

$(1 + 0.054065041)^{2} - 1$

YTM 11.1053109921343000%

rounding to two decimal places: 11.11%
