Viktor [21]

Answer:

1.

The current stock price is $28.71

2.

The current stock price is $149.15

Explanation:

1.

We need to calculate the present value of the dividends with each growth

First calculate the dividend each year

Year _________________________ Dividend

1 _____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^1__________ $1.9440

2_____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^2__________ $1.1664

3_____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^3__________ $2.2675

4_____( $2.2675 x ( 1 + 7% )________ $2.4262

5_____( $2.4262 x ( 1 + 6% )________ $2.5718

6_____( $2.5718 x ( 1 + 5% )_________ $2.7004

Calculate the present value of each years dividend

Year _________________________ present value

1 _____( $1.9440 / ( 1 + 12% )^1 __________ $2.1773

2_____$1.1664 / ( 1 + 12% )^2___________ $0.9298

3_____$2.2675 / ( 1 + 12% )^3___________$0.7118

4_____$2.4262 / ( 1 + 12% )^4___________$1.5419

5_____$2.5718 / ( 1 + 12% )^5___________ $1.4593

6_____$2.7004 / ( 12% - 5% ) / ( 1 + 12% )^5_$21.8897

Total _____________________________ $28.7098

Hence priec of the stock is $28.71

2.

First calculate dividend of Year 6

Dividend = EPS x Payout ratio = 23 x 80% = $18.40

Present value = $18.4 / ( 12% - 5% ) / ( 1 + 12% )^5 = $149.15

A firm uses 80 hours of labor and 6 units of capital to produce 10,000 gadgets per day. Labor's marginal product is 4 gadgets

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Use more labor and fewer capital.

Explanation:

Given that,

For producing 10,000 gadgets,

Labor hours use = 80

Capital = 6 units

Marginal product of labor = 4 gadgets per hour

Marginal product of capital = 20 gadgets per unit

Cost of each unit of labor = $8 per hour

Cost of each unit of capital = $50 per unit

Therefore,

Marginal product per dollar for labor is as follows:

$\frac{MP_{L} }{w} =\frac{4}{8}$

= 0.5

Marginal product per dollar for capital is as follows:

$\frac{MP_{k} }{r} =\frac{20}{50}$

= 0.4

Hence, the marginal product per dollar for labor is greater than the marginal product per dollar for capital, which means that the firm should use more labor and fewer capital.

Trail Running Company has started to produce running apparel in addition to the trail running shoes that they have manufactured

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Machining Department Finishing Department Estimated Manufacturing Overhead by Department $800,000 $200,000

Trail Running Shoes 360,000 machine hours 6,000 direct labor hours Running Apparel 40,000 machine hours 34,000 direct labor hours

Manufacturing overhead is driven by machine hours for the machining department and direct labor hours for the finishing department.

At the end of the year, the following information was gathered related to the production of the trail running shoes and running apparel:

Machining Department Finishing Department Trail Running Shoes 362,000 hours 5,500 hours

Running Apparel 37,000 hours 35,000 hours

How much manufacturing overhead will be allocated to running apparel?

For The Overhead Absorption Rate for Machining Department

Trail Running Shoes = (360,000/360,000+40,000)* $800,000 = $720,000

Running Apparel = (40,000/360,000+40,000)* $800,000 = $80,000

For The Overhead Absorption Rate for Finishing Department

Trail Running Shoes = (6,000/6,000+34,000)* $200,000 = $30,000

Running Apparel = (34,000/6,000+34,000)* $200,000 = $170,000

Therefore the running department would have been allocated ($80,000+$170,000) which is $250,000 during the period.

Acme Enterprises began the new year owing its suppliers $3,000 for merchandise purchased last year. Acme then sold half of this

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Acme's current balance of accounts payable is $6000

Explanation:

The closing balance of accounts payable can be calculated using the opening balance and adjusting the changes during the period to the opening balance.

The closing balance can thus be calculated as:

Closing balance = Opening balance + Credit purchases - Payment to Accounts payable

Closing balance = 3000 + 4000 - 1000

Closing balance = $6000
