Answer:

Pam and Lenny's Ice Cream Shop

a. The effect of the promotion on operating income for the second week of February is an increase by $350.

b. The promotion should occur.  The shop will make additional operating income of $350 within the second week.  And there will be spillover positive effects during the coming weeks after the promotion.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per cone of ice cream = $1.60

Variable expenses = $0.35

Contribution = $1.25

Fixed costs per month = $2,200

Additional sales from the promotion = 650 cones

Revenue from additional sales = $1,040.00 ($1.60 * 650)

Variable cost                                     227.50 ($0.35 * 650)

Cost of promotions:

Giveaways                                        297.50 ($0.35 * 850)

Advertising costs                              165.00

Total costs                                      $690.00

Additional income                          $350.00

crimeas [40]

Answer:

Answer:

Growth rate (g) = n-1√(<u>Latest dividend)</u>     - 1

                                      Current  dividend

                          = 4-1√($2.49/2.20)   -1  

                         = 3√(1.1318)  -1  

                        = 1.04  -  1

                        = 0.04 = 4%

Ke = Do<u>(1 + g) </u>  +  g

               Po

Ke =  $2.57(<u>1  +  0.04</u>)  + 0.04

                         65

Ke = 0.04 + 0.04

Ke = 0.08 = 8%

Explanation:

In this  case, we need to calculate the growth rate using the above formula. Then, the cost of equity will be  calculated. Cost of equity is a function of current dividend paid subject to growth rate divided by current market price.
