Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.24 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $1.80, $1.98, $2

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Ans, The cost of the company’s cost of equity capital using the arithmetic average growth rate is 10.63% and using the geometric average of the growth rate is 10.60%

Explanation:

Hi, this is the equation we need to solve in order to find the company’s cost of equity capital.

$r=\frac{Dividend}{Price} +g$

As you can see, we almost have everything, the only problem here is "g", its growth rate, so let´s find "g" using the arithmetic average, but first, we need to find the growth rate for every period, the formula is

$g=\frac{(FinalDividend-PastDividend}{PastDividend}$

Therefore, we need to find 4 g´s, let´s call them g1, g2, g3 and g4:

$g1=\frac{(1.98-1.80)}{1.80} =0.10$

$g2=\frac{(2.05-1.98)}{1.98} =0.0354$

$g3=\frac{(2.16-2.05)}{2.05} =0.0537$

$g4=\frac{(2.24-2.16)}{2.16} =0.0370$

So the average is:

$Average(g)=\frac{0.10+0.0354+0.0537+0.0370}{4} =0.0565$

Therefore, the average growth rate is 5.65%

And the company’s cost of equity is:

$r=\frac{2.24}{45} +0.0565=0.1063$

so, if the average growth rate is found by using the arithmetic average is 10.63%.

Now, let´s find the geometric average

$g(average)=\sqrt[4]{(1+0.10)(1+0.0354)(1+0.0537)(1+0.0370)} -1=0.0562$

therefore, using the geometric average to find the growth rate, the company’s cost of equity is:

$r=\frac{2.24}{45} +0.0562=0.1060$

using the geometric average, the company’s cost of equity is 10.60%

Best of luck.

Below is information from the financial statements of Greenwich Company: Accounts receivable (net) 2016: $2,400 Accounts receiva

ra1l [238]

Answer:

32.44 days

Explanation:

The computation of the average collection period is shown below:

But before that we have to determine the account receivable turnover ratio

So, the account receivable turnover ratio is

= (net sales) ÷ (average of account receivables)

= $25,875 ÷ ($2,400 + $2,200) ÷ 2

= $25,875 ÷ $2,300

= 11.25 times

Now the average collection period is

= Total no of days in a year ÷ account receivable turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 11.25

= 32.44 days

We assume that the no of days that should be considered is 365 days

The Ramapo Company produces two products, Blinks and Dinks. They are manufactured in two departments, Fabrication and Assembly.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Allocated MOH per unit= $45.94

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product Number of Units Labor Hours Per Unit

Blinks 1,178 2

Dinks 2,060 3

Estimated overhead costs for the period= 108,300 + 87,800= $196,100

Total direct labor hours= (1,178*2) + (2,060*3)= 8,536

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 196,100 / 8,536

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $22.97 per direct labor hour

Now, we allocate overhead to Blinks:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 22.97*2= $45.94

A year ago, Jasper Inc. sold 20-year bonds at par with a coupon rate of 4.5 percent and semiannual payments. The face value of e

scoray [572]

Answer:

= $877.32

Explanation:

The value of the bond is the present value(PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV).

Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV

The value of bond for Jasper Inc can be worked out as follows:

Step 1

PV of interest payments

Semi annul interest payment

= 4.5% × 1000 × 1/2

= 22.5

Semi-annual yield = 5.6/2 = 2.8% per six months

Total period to maturity (in months)

= (2 × 19) = 38 periods (Note it was sold a year ago)

PV of interest =

22.5 × (1- (1+0.028)^(-38)/0.028)

= 22.5 ×23.20871226

= 522.196

Step 2

PV of Redemption Value

= 1,000 × (1.056)^(-19)

= 355.128

Price of bond

= 522.19 + 355.12

= $877.32

Under SEC rules, internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) are processes that provide reasonable assurance that financia

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

C. Unauthorized acquisition or use of data or assets that could affect financial statements will be prevented or detected in a timely manner.

Explanation:

Internal Control Financial Reporting is a framework designed to help companies manage their financial reporting and achieve the greater goals of risk assessment, control, information and communication, as well as monitoring. One of the weaknesses that could characterize ICFR is its inability to assure timely prevention and detection of unauthorized acquisition or use of data.

The scheme however ensures that financial records are maintained and that transactions are prepared according to GAAP rules. ICFR ensures that misstatements are detected in financial reporting.
