The U.S. health care system has been historically resistant to change due to entrenched interests from <em>entrenched health system industries which have focused more on the question of “Who pays?” which makes sense from their point of view stating that corporations are legally obligated to protect investors’ interests</em>. Health care leaders together with policymakers over time have attempted several incremental fixes by; attacking fraud, enforcing practice guidelines, reducing errors, and trying to make patients better “consumers,” by implementing electronic medical records but none of these has had much impact.
Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
1)
Fair value per share = $20.4
Number of Share = 2 million
Fair value of award = Fair value per share ×Number of Share
= $20.4 × 2 million
= $40.8 million
2) No Entry
3)
Compensation expense($40.8 million÷4 years) $10.2 million
To Paid in capital - restricted stock($20.4-$10.2) $10.2 million
(Being the compensation expense is recorded)
4)
Fair value per share = $20.4
Share granted = 2 million
(100%-10%) forfeiture rate = 90%
fair value of award = $20.4×2×90%
= $36.72 million
Answer: e. repurchase shares
Explanation:
If the personal tax rates are lower than corporate tax rates then the company should engage in an activity that would put money into the pockets of shareholders such that they would take advantage of the lower personal tax rates.
The best way to do that would be a share repurchase. The company would probably buy at above market rates which would give shareholders capital gain and they wouldn't have to pay much taxes on it as personal rates are lower.
Answer:
$18.33
Explanation:
The company just paid an annual dividend of $2.24
The dividend increase by 2.3% annually
= 2.3/100
= 0.023
The required return is 14.8%
= 14.8/100
= 0.148
Therefore the price that will be paid for one share of LBM stock can be calculated as follows
= 2.24 × (1+0.023)/(0.148-0.023)
= 2.24 × 1.023/0.125
= 2.29153/0.125
= $18.33
Hence $18.33 will be paid for one share of LBM stock
