Answer:

(Note please, the background of L.L. Bean was not stated. I am answering on a general note.)

L.L. Bean empowered its employees to make independent decisions that ultimately have financial consequences so as to save time needed to consult superior authorities for directions.

Explanation:

In the course of business, some customers might have needs and inquiries that have to be responded to on the spot so that they do not lose their patience and move to other competitors.

When an organization empowers its employees to make independent decisions that might affect the company financially, it is in a bid to serve the customers better by saving their time. This also instills trust and confidence in the company because the employees are knowledgeable of their services.

LiRa [457]

The various costs for Solomon Ski Company during the recent accounting period are determined as follows:

1. Cost per equivalent unit is <u>$65.</u>

2. Cost of finished goods transferred out from the finishing department is <u>$269,750</u>.

3. Cost of the ending WIP inventory is <u>$15,600</u>.

<h3>What is the cost per equivalent unit?</h3>

The cost per equivalent unit refers to the average cost per unit based on the total production costs divided by the total equivalent units of production.

The equivalent units of production depend on the degree or percentage of completion for the various cost classes.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Transfer to finished goods = 4,150

Ending inventory = 480

Degree of completion of the ending inventory = 50%

Total equivalent units = 4,390 (4,150 + 480 x 50%)

Total production costs = $285,350

Cost per equivalent unit = $65 ($285,350/4,390)

Cost of finished goods = $269,750 ($65 x 4,150)

Cost of the ending WIP = $15,600 ($65 x 240)

Thus, equivalent units refer to the degree of work completed per unit.

A company just paid a $2 dividend per share. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 10% for 2 years, after which

Olin [163]

Answer:

Do = $2.00

D1= Do(1+g)1 = $2(1+0.1)1 = $2.20

D2= Do(1+g)2 = $2(1+0.1)2 = $2.42

PHASE 1

V1 = D1/1+ke + D2/(1+ke)2

V1 = 2.20/(1+0.11) + 2.42/(1+0.11)2

V1 = $1.9820 + $1.9641

V1 = $3.9461

PHASE 2

V2 = DN(1+g)/ (Ke-g )(1+k e)n V2 = $2.42(1+0.03)/(0.11-0.03)(1+0.11)2

V2 = $2.4926/$0.0649

V2 = $38.4068

The current stock price is calculated as follows:

Po = V1 + V2

Po = $3.9461 + $38.4068

Po = $42.35

Explanation: This question relates to valuation of shares with 2-phase growth model. The value of shares in the first phase will be determined by discounting the dividend for the 2 years by cost of equity. The dividends for year 1 and year 2 were obtained by subjecting the current dividend paid (Do) to growth rate.

Moreso, the value of shares for the second phase was calculated by considering the last dividend paid(D2) and then subject it to the new growth rate. The adjusted dividend was then capitalized at the appropriate discount rate of the company.
