The preliminary net income for February is $ 1,100

The net profit margin is  42.3 %

Explanation:

Computation of net income and net profit margin

Revenues   ( $   900 + $ 1,700 )                                                     $ 2,600    

Expenses ($ 200 + $ 1,200 + $ 100 )                                             <u>$ 1,500</u>

Net Income                                                                                      $ 1,100    

Net profit margin = Net income / Revenues

Net Profit margin   = $ 1,100/ $ 2,600 =                                          42.3 %  

The other entries for collections made on Feb 04 for services to be performed next month and the purchase of supplies to be used in the future are not to be considered in revenues and expenses as they do not pertain to the current month

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.
