Answer:

Working capital $550,000

Explanation:

Given that

The Current ratio is 2:1

Inventory is $200,000

And, the quick ratio is 1:7

Now as we know that

Current ratio = Current assets ÷ current liabilities

2.1 = Current assets ÷ current liabilities

2.1 current liabilities = current assets

And, the quick ratio is

Quick ratio ÷ quick assets ÷ current liabilities

1.7 = (Current assets - inventory) ÷ current liabilities

1.7 = (Current assets - $200,000) ÷ current liabilities

1.7 current liabilities = current assets - $200,000

Now put the value of current liabilities

1.7 current liabilities = 2.1 current liabilities - $200,000

$200,000 = 2.1 current liabilities - 1.7 current liabilities

$200,000 = 0.4 current liabilities

So, current liabilities

= $200,000 ÷ 0.4

= $500,000

Now the current assets = 2.1 × $500,000

= $1,050,000

Now the working capital is

= Current assets - current liabilities

= $1,050,000 - $500,000

= $550,000

Explain why the joint events in a contingency table are mutually exclusive. choose the correct answer below.

Darina [25.2K]

<span>In a contingency table, the joint events are mutually exclusive because they consist of unique combinations of individual events that are mutually exclusive. For an individual to be described by one of the joint events, the individual must be described using each of the two attributes measured in the table. Since the possibilities for each of the two attribute are mutually exclusive, there can be only one way for an individual to be labeled with each pair of attributes. Therefore there can only be one joint event in the table that describes the individual.</span>

DFB, Inc.,expects earnings this year of $5 per share, and it plans to pay a $3 dividend to

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

a) Growth rate of earnings

using the sustainable growth rate formula which is the maximum growth rate that a company can sustain without external financing:

Growth rate = ROE * (1 - retention rate)

= 15% * (1 - 40%)

= 15% * 60%

= 9%

(Retention rate = 2/5 * 100 = 40%)

b) Price of equity using dividend growth model:

P₀ = D₀ (1 + g) / (re – g)

D₀ = the current dividend (whether just paid or just about to be paid) = $3

g = the expected dividend future growth rate = from A above (9%)

re = the cost of equity = 12%

= 3 (1 + 0.09) / (0.12 - 0.09)

= $109

c) Price of equity

P₀ = D₀ (1 + g) / (re – g)

= 4 (1 + 0.09) / (0.12 - 0.09)

= $145.33

Explanation:

At the estimated growth rate of 9%, should DFB increase the dividend payout, the price of equity would amount to $145.33 which is higher than the previous price of $109, so DFB is advised to raise its dividend
