Answer:

Option B (An activity....................same activity) would be the correct choice.

Explanation:

ABC would be used by companies since there would be a variety of resources consumed. Throughout ABC, that each expense is identified as well as identified to something like the operation.
A predetermined overhead price wasn't used so rather than using numerous geographical expense driver amounts.

Only certain costs are defined in the sense of various activities as well as averaged to create each activity cost collection. That is why the above is indeed the correct answer.

Use the following comparative figures for Apple and Google. Google 12.662 $ Key Figures Net income (in millions) Cash dividends

azamat

Answer and Explanation :

Few information is missing in the question kindly find the attachment

As per the data given in the question,

The formula and the computation is shown below

1) Book value per share = Equity applicable to share ÷ share outstanding

Apple Google

Equity common share a $134,047 $152,502

Common share outstanding b 5,126.201 694.783

Book value per common share a ÷ b $26.15 $219.50

2)Basic EPS = Net income ÷ weighted Avg common share outstanding

Apple Google

Net income a $48,351 $12,662

weighted Avg common share outstanding b 5217.242 693.049

Basic EPS a ÷ b $9.27 $18.27

3)Dividend yield = Cash dividend per common share ÷ Market price per share

Apple Google

Cash dividend per common share a 2.4 0

Market price per share b $154.12 $1046.4

Dividend yield a ÷ b 1.56% 0.00%

4) Price earning ratio = Market price per share ÷ Basic EPS

Apple Google

Market price per share a $154.12 $1046.4

Basic EPS b 9.26754 18.26999

Price earning ratio a ÷ b 16.63 57.27

5) A higher PE ration indicates that investors want to pay a higher share price because of growth expectation in near by future

Therefore Google has higher PE ratio

Hence, investors have greater expectation of performance of Google in future.

Universal Laser, Inc., just paid a dividend of $3.10 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 6 p

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Ans. The current price of the stock is $56.82

Explanation:

Hi, well, the problem here is that we have different discount rates, in other words the required rate of return for the stock changes several times, therefore we are going to break this problem in 3 parts, or bring to present value all the cash flows in 3 steps. Let´s start with the value of the dividends.

We have to use the following formula.

$Dn=D_{(n-1)} *(1+g)$

Where, D(n-1) is last dividend and Dn is the dividend that we are looking for, for example, D1 = 3.10*(1+0.06)=3.29, D2=3.29*(1+0.06)=3.48, and so forth. The amount to pay on dividends per share is,

D1=3.29; D2=3.48; D3=3.69; D4=3.91; D5=4.15; D6=4.40; D(7)=4.66

Since the first 3 years are to be discounted at a 15%, this is how the formula should look like.

$PV(1)=\frac{D1}{(1+r(1))^{1} } +\frac{D2}{(1+r(1))^{2} } +\frac{D3}{(1+r(1))^{3} }$

$PV(1)=\frac{3.29}{(1+0.15)^{1} } +\frac{3.48}{(1+0.15)^{2} } +\frac{3.69}{(1+0.15)^{3} }=7.92$

Now, for the second part, we have to bring all cash flows to year 3 at r(2)=13% and then bring it to present value at r(1)=15%. This is because we have 2 different discount rates, this is as follows.

$PV(2)=(\frac{D4}{(1+r(2))^{1} } +\frac{D5}{(1+r(2))^{2} } +\frac{D6}{(1+r(2))^{3} })*\frac{1}{((1+r(1)^{3} }$

$PV(2)=(\frac{3.91}{(1+0.13)^{1} } +\frac{4.15}{(1+0.13)^{2} } +\frac{4.40}{(1+0.13)^{3} })*\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } =6.42$

Finally, we need to bring all the future cash flows from year 7 and beyond, notice that we need to use the return rate r(3) to bring everything to year 6, then we have to bring it to year 3 and then to present value, everything as follows.

$PV(3)=(\frac{D7}{(r(3)-g)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(2))^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(1))^{3} } )$
