Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The correct option is $1.14

Explanation:

D1=D0*(1+g)

D1 is year 1 dividend

g growth rate of dividend of 15%

D1=$0.54*(1+15%)

D1=$0.54*(1+0.15)

D1=$0.54*1.15

D1=$0.621 00

D2=$0.621*1.15

D2=$0.71415

We need to apply the discount factor to each of the dividends,the discount factor is 1/(1+r)^n

r is the rate of return of 11%

n is the relevant year

present value of year 1 dividend=$0.62100*1/(1+11%)^1

present value of year 1 dividend=$0.559459459

Present value of year 2=$0.71415*1/(1+11%)^2

Present value of year 2=$0.579620161

Total value present values=$0.559459459 +$0.579620161

=$1.14

Duffert Industries has total assets of $1,080,000 and total current liabilities (consisting only of accounts payable and accrual

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

ROIC is 9.26%

ROE is 12.63%

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Total assets = $1,080,000

Total liabilities = Current liabilities + Debt + Common equity = $1,080,000

D/(D + E) = 0.40

D / ($1,080,000 - 100,000) = 0.40

D = $392,000

Common equity = Total liabilities - Current liabilities - Debt = $1,080,000 - 100,000 - 392,000= $588,000

BEP = 0.15 = EBIT/TA

= EBIT/$1,080,000

Therefore, EBIT = $162,000

In order to calculate the ROIC we would have to make the following calculation:

ROIC = [EBIT(1 – T)]/(D + E) = [$151,200(0.6)]/($392,000 + $588,000) = 9.26%

ROIC is 9.26%

To calculate the ROE we would have to calculate first net income from income statement as follows:

EBIT=$151,200

Less: Interest ($392,000 x 7%) 27,440

EBT= 123,760

Less: Tax 40% 49,504

Net Income= 74,256

Therefore, ROE = NI/E = $74,256/$588,000 = 12.63%

ROE is 12.63%

A new machine for harvesting corn will allow rows to be planted only fifteen inches apart, instead of the usual thirty inches. C

Alik [6]

Answer: Option D

Explanation:The optimal spacing for corn seed plant seeds 1.5 to 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart and rows spacing should be 30 to 36 inches apart. From the above case, the rows spacing is reduced by half which will increase the number of corn plant per acre which would lead to overall more profit from more yield.

Therefore the most appropriate answer to the space given above is option D.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Fixed mindset

Explanation:

Mindset could be explained as an individual's psychological state which often transcends into how we perceive challenges, what we can do and what we can't. Usually the ability to solve a puzzle, face and conquer a challenge starts and ends with an individual's mindset as it is where either the strength to execute or depression to walkway is derived.

The growth mindset gives individuals who exhibit the trait the strength and morale to face challenges, instead of backing out without trying, they try to find ways of constantly improving at what seems difficult.

On the other hand, the fixed mindset which is what is exhibited by Leandro could be deemed as a rigid type of notion whereby an individual believes all he knows and all he can do are already fixed, hence anything aside those cannot be successfully executed this kind of individuals fail to try new challenges.

If the company is using the payback period method and it requires a payback of three years or less, which project(s) should be s

algol [13]

Answer: Project X

Explanation:

The Payback period is the amount of time it would take for the cash inflows accruing from an investment to payoff the cost of the investment.

Project X has a constant cashflow of $24,000 for 3 years and a cost of $68,000 for the Payback period is;

= 68,000/24,000

= 2.83 years

Project Y has an uneven cash flow with a cost of $60,000. Payback is calculated as;

= Year before payback + Amount left to be paid/cashflow in year of payback

Year before payback = 4,000 + 26,000 + 26,000

= $56,000

This means that the third year is the year before payback.

60,000 - 56,000 = $4,000

Payback period = 3 + 4,000/20,000

= 3.2 years

Based on a Payback period of 3 years, only Project X should be chosen as it pays back in less than 3 years.
