Jen's Fashions is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a 19 percent rate for the next 3 years, with the growth rat

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Ans. Current Share Price=$33.85

Explanation:

Hi, we first have to establish the dividend for the first 3 years and the dividend when the growth rate falls off to a constant rate of 8% with the formula to find the present value of a perpetuity with constant growth rate. From there, we need to bring all the above cash flows to present value and that is the price of the share. The formula is as follows.

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

To find D1, D2,and D3, we have to do this.

D1=Do(1+0.19)

D2=D1(1+0.19)

D3=D2(1+0.19)

Since 0.19 is the growth rate for 3 years. Everything should look like this

$Price=\frac{4.04}{(1+0.12)^{1}}+\frac{4.29}{(1+0.12)^{2} } +\frac{25.52}{(1+0.12)^{3} } +\frac{25.52(1-0.08)}{(0.12+0.08)} \frac{1}{(1+0.12)^{3} } =33.85$

notice that the sign of the last part do not coincide with the formula, that is because the growth rate from the first 3 years is -8%.

Best of luck.

The Second Plan provides better earnings per share.

Explanation:

1st Plan:

Income before Interest and taxes 1,008,000

Bonds Payable Interest: (144,000)

Income before taxes 864,000

Income tax expense (345,600)

Net Income 518,400

Quantity of Common Stock:

$ 1,440,000 / $5 = 288,000

Earing per share:

518,400 / 288,000 = $1.80

2nd Plan:

Income before Interest and taxes 1,008,000

Bonds Payable Interest: (72,000)

Dividends on Preferred Shares:

120,000 x $1 = 120,000

Quantity of Common Stock:

$ 960,000 / $5 = 192,000

Earing per share:

Nata [24]

Answer:

Pension plan assets at the year end will be $214

Explanation:

Wee have given pension plan assets = $200 million

Return on plan assets = 5%

So return will be equal to = $200×0.05 = $10 million

Cash contribution is given $12 million

Retiree benefits is $8 million

We have to find the amount of pension plan assets at the year end

Pension plan assets is equal to = Plan assets at beginning of the year + actual return - retiree benefits = $200 + $10 +$12 - $8 = $214

So pension plan assets at the year end will be $214

Assume that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In this case, determine what is true with

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a. 1, 5 and 7

b. Resources will be allocated inefficiently

c. Differing sizes and capacities

d. Benefits due to economies of scale

e. Reduce prices and improve resource allocation.

Explanation:

The correct combination is 1, 5 and 7. The price of a pure monopoly firm is much higher than that of purely competitive firm because the later is a price taker while the former is a price fixer. Because of this, output of monopoly is lower while the profit margin is higher than that of competitive firm.

Assuming that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In the case of a pure monopolist, resources will be allocated inefficiently because the monopolist does not produce at the point of minimum Average Total Cost and does not equate price and Marginal cost.

Even though both monopolists and competitive firms follow the MC = MR rule in maximizing profits, there are differences in the economic outcomes because pure competitors lack capacity and are smaller in size while the monopolist has the capacity to expand inorder to maximize profits.

The costs of a purely competitive firm and a monopoly may be different because the monopolist is capable of taking advantage of cost reduction arising from economics of scale. Pure competitors does not experience economies of scale due to their small sizes.

If a monopoly can experience economies of scale, it can reduce prices beyond that of the pure competitor thereby ensuring a more efficient resource allocation.
