A business brand earns a customer's trust gradually with time, by consistency and honesty on the part of the business brand. This customer trust can easily be lost, if the business brand is engaged in even a little scandal or reckless act.
Answer:
4.5%
Explanation:
Stock R (Beta) = 1.5
Stock S (Beta) = 0.75
Expected rate of return on an average stock (Rm)= 10%
Risk free rate (Rf) = 4%
Required Return (Re) = Rf +(Rm-Rf) B
Required Return = 0.04 + (0.10-0.04) B
Required Return = 0.04 + 0.06B
Stock R = 0.04 + (0.06 * 1.50)
Stock R = 0.04 + 0.09
Stock R = 0.13
Stock R = 13%
Stock S = 0.04 + (0.06 * 0.75)
Stock S = 0.04 + 0.045
Stock S = 0.085
Stock S = 8.5%
Here, the more risky stock is R and less risky stock is S. Since, R has more beta than the Stock S.
= 13% - 8.5%
= 4.5%
Answer:
$0.26
Explanation:
diluted earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average outstanding shares + diluted shares)
net income = $330,000
preferred dividends = 2,000 x $500 x 8% = $80,000. Since the preferred stocks are convertible, they will be considered diluted shares. Therefore, no preferred dividends will be included in the calculation.
weighted average outstanding shares:
- January 1 = 700,000 x 12/12 = 700,000
- March 1 = 200,000 x 10/12 = 166,666.7
- total weighted average = 866,666.7
diluted shares = 2,000 preferred stocks x 200 = 400,000
diluted EPS = $330,000 / (866,666.7 + 400,000) = $0.260526247 ≈ $0.26
Answer:
Net Cash Flows from operating activities is $68.5 million.
Explanation:
The indirect Method would be used here because all we will find the cash expenses and revenues that were converted into within the year and are reported in the income statement by calculating the increase and decrease in the current assets and current liabilities. Here we will also eliminate the non cash expense effects by adding them back.
The net cash flows from operating activities can be calculated using the following method:
Millions
1. Net Income 65
<u>Add Non Cash Deductions</u>
2. Depreciation 5.5
3. Loss on sale of Equipment 1.5
<u>Add / (Less) the increase or </u>
<u>decrease in current Assets or </u>
<u>liabilities</u>
4. Increase in Trade Receivables (2.5)
5. Increase in Trade Payables 3.5
6. Increase in inventory <u> (4.5) </u>
Net Cash Flows from operating activities $68.5
Answer:
The present value of the future earnings is $51,981,214.36
Explanation:
The present value of the earning can be calculated by discounting the earnings for the next five years along with calculating the terminal value of earnings at the end of the five years when the growth rate in earnings becomes constant and discounting it back to the present value.
Taking the value in millions,
Present Value = 1 * (1+0.3) / (1+0.08) + 1 * (1+0.3)^2 / (1+0.08)^2 +
1 * (1+0.3)^3 / (1+0.08)^3 + 1 * (1+0.3)^4 / (1+0.08)^4 + 1 * (1+0.3)^5 / (1+0.08)^5 + [( 1 * (1+0.3)^5 * (1+0.02) / (0.08 - 0.02)) / (1+0.08)^5]
Present value = $51.98121436 million or $51,981,214.36
