Answer:

The company's cost of equity is 9.91%

Explanation:

The cost of Equity is the investor's required return and according to the given information D1 =$4.57, SP =$73.59, g = 3.70% The DDM model which derives the current price of the stock by discounting it future dividends will be used in this calculation

SP = D1/ r - g

73.59 = 4.57/r -3.70%

73.59*(r-3.70%) =4.57

73.59*(r-3.70%)/73.59=4.57/73.59

r- 3.70% = 4.57/73.59

r = 4.57/73.59 +3.70

r =0.0991/9.91%

Answer:

The cost of equity is 9.91%

Explanation:

The constant growth model of the DDM is used to calculate the price of the share or the fair value per share based on a constant growth in dividends and the required rate of return which is also known as cost of equity.

Plugging in the available values in the formual we can calculate the cost of equity or the required rate of return.

73.59 = 4.57 / (r - 0.037)

73.59 * (r - 0.037) = 4.57

73.59r - 2.72283 = 4.57

73.59r = 4.57 + 2.72283

r = 7.29283 / 73.59

r = 0.0991 or 9.91%

Answer:

This type of income is known as non-operating income in the financial statements

Explanation:

Non-operating income, as the world implies, is the income that a firm earns from activities that are not related to its main economic activity. An example would be a mall, whose main activity is the rental and management of commercial real estate, earning some income from short-term investments in the secondary market. This interest would be reported as non-operating income, and would be treated as such for financial, accounting, and tax purposes.

Perdue Company purchased equipment on April 1 for $93,420. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 7
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The depreciation cost per year is:

Year 1: $16,800

Year 2: $31,200

Year 3: $27,600

Year 4: $15,120

Explanation:

To calculate the depreciation cost for the equipment based on hours used, we must determine the cost per hour:

cost per hour = (purchase cost - salvage value) / expected useful life

cost per hour = ($93,420 - $2,700) / 7,560 hours = $90,720 / 7,560 hours = $12 per hour

The depreciation cost per year is:

Year 1: 1,400 hours x $12 per hour = $16,800

Year 2: 2,600 hours x $12 per hour = $31,200

Year 3: 2,300 hours x $12 per hour = $27,600

Year 4: 1,260 hours x $12 per hour = $15,120

mariarad [96]

Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

To calculate income tax expense we must add income liability for the year, minus the changes in deferred tax accounts and add the change in value for deferred tax assets.

income tax expense = $13,000 - ($20,000 - $15,000) + ($20,000 x 10%) = $13,000 - $5,000 + $2,000 = $10,000
