Answer:
d. The stock price is expected to be $54 a share one year from now.
Explanation:
Using dividend discount model(DDM), find next year's dividend;
P0 = D1/ (r-g)
50 = D1/(0.14-0.08)
50 = D1/ 0.06
Multiply both sides by 0.06 to solve for D1;
50 *0.06 = D1
3 = D1
Next, year's dividend is $3
Dividend yield = D1/P0;
= 3/ 50 = 0.06 or 6% hence choices A& B are incorrect.
Next year's price; P1 = P0(1+g)
P1 = 50(1.08) = $54 hence choice D is correct
Answer:
a. $0.30
Explanation:
Basic Earning Per Share (BEPS) = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stock.
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock calculation :
Net income after tax for the period $160,000
Less Preference Dividend ($10,000)
Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock $150,000
Weighted Average Number of Common Stock calculation :
Outstanding common shares 500,000
Therefore,
Basic Earning Per Share (BEPS) = $150,000 ÷ 500,000
= $0.30
Explanation:
The journal entry to close the books is
Cost of Goods sold A/c Dr $1,200
To Manufacturing Overhead A/c $1,200
(Being the under-applied overhead is recorded)
Since the jobs were undercosted, that means the overhead is applied under overhead so we debited the cost of goods sold account and credited the manufacturing overhead account. Both the items are recorded for $1,200

Answer:
d. increases the earnings of some low-skill workers while reducing the employment and training opportunities available to others.
Explanation:
Minimum wage is a form of price floor. It is the lowest amount that should be paid to labour for their services rendered. It is usually set by the government or an agency of government.
Minimum wage causes supply of Labour to exceed demand for Labour. Firms would demand less of Labour because of higher cost of Labour. Decreased demand for Labour would increase unemployment.
Minimum wage isn't a price ceiling but a price floor.
Minimum wage increases the income of Labour.
