Answer:
c. seller receives cash sooner than if credit is granted directly to the customers
d. may allow seller to increase sales volume
Explanation:
When a customer uses a credit card, the bank that issued the card pays the seller immediately, and later, the bank recovers the money plus interest from the customer.
So this method allows for a faster collection of cash (basically immediatly) than if the seller granted the credit directly to the customer.
Credit cards also allow seller to increase sales volume because many people lack the cash necessary to pay down the full value of the purchase.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let's first determine the free cash flow of the firm
Particulars Years
1 2 3
EBIT 540 680 750
<u>Tax at 36% (0.36*540) (0.36*680) (0.36*750) </u>
Less: 345.6 435.2 480
Net Capital -
Spending 150 170 190
<u>Change in NWC 70 75 80 </u>
Less: 125.6 190.2 210
The terminal value at the end of T =(3 years) is:
= 2011.26
Finally, the value of the firm can be computed as follows:
Years Free Cash Flow PVIF PV
1 125.6 0.6589 107.88
2 190.2 0.7377 140.31
3 210 0.6336 133.06
<u>Terminal Value 2011.26 0.6336 1294.33 </u>
<u>Value of the firm ⇒ $1655.58</u>
Answer:
-9.92%
Explanation:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
- Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
- Re = cost of equity = ?
- P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
- g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%
Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g
Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%
Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%
Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.
Answer:
C. <u>not valid because performance depends on Parsley's personal skills</u>
Explanation:
A valid contract refers to an agreement entered into by parties which legally binds both parties and is enforceable under the law.
For a contract to be termed as valid, it must be performed by the parties to it.
Performance clause in a valid contract refers to doing or acting in a way as is required by the terms of the contract.
In the given case, Parsley signed a contract to provide services i.e provide French cooking lessons to Curry. Later, Parsley wants to transfer his duties to Relish.
The transfer will not be valid since the performance i.e service to be provided by Parsley are of personal nature and the consideration is based upon that. No two individuals can provide exact services.
