Answer:

-$28.8.

Explanation:

Note, we were told,

  • to assume the cost of a therm is $0.30
  • the family uses 600 therms of energy annually.

<u>Savings on old furnace:</u>

  • 600 * $0.30 * 0.80 (or written as 80%) = $144

<u>Savings on new furnace:</u>

  • 600 * $0.30 * 0.96 (or written as 96%) = $172.8

Difference: $144 - $172.8 = -$28.8.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

the intrinsic value of the stock is 42.97

If the stock is priced at 40 dollars it would be a good idea to purchase the share as will provide a better yield than the cost of capital of 9.6%

Explanation:

First, we solve for the cost of equity using the CAPM:

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.09

premium market = (market rate - risk free) = 0.055

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.2

Ke= 0.03 + 1.2 (0.055)

Ke = 0.09600

<em>Now we solve for the intrinsic price using the gordon model</em>

<em>with multi-stage growth:</em>

First, we calcualte the future dividends

grow rate Dividends

0                1.25

1 0.25       1.5625

2 0.25       1.953125

3 0.25       2.44140625

4 0.25       3.051757813

4 0.03     3.143310547

Now in the last year, we calcualte using the gordon model or constant grow:

\frac{3.143310547}{0.096-0.03} = Intrinsic \: Value

32.7128182

Now we calculate and add together the present value of each of this future cash flow to determnate the intrinsic  value ofthe share:

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

Present Value

1 1.5625 / (1+0.096)^1     =  1.425638686

2 1.953125 / (1+0.096)^2 = 1.625956531

and so on, giving the following values:

3 1.854421226

4 2.114987712

present value of the future dividends at 3% 22.67126448

<u>Finally we add them and get:</u>

42.97160726

UNO [17]

Answer: $150,000

The relevant provision is that when a company owns more than 80% of the company receiving the Dividend, the Dividend Received Deduction amounts to 100% of dividends received.

Cooper Corporation may therefore claim a deduction of $150,000 being the total amount as they own 85% of Broze Corporation Stock.

Hence, the contribution per matron may also be derived as the difference between the sales per patron and the variable cost per patron.

The variable cost here is the cost of providing dinner per ticket as such,
