Answer: 2.51

Explanation:

First, we calculate the number of shares that will be issued in order to raise $8.6 million at $40 a share. This will be:

= $8.6 million / $40

= 215,000

Since the firm currently has 540,000 shares of stock outstanding, the number of rights that a shareholder will need to purchase one new share of stock in this offering will be:

= 540,000 / 215,000

= 2.51

Does the good news conveyed by the announcement of a dividend increase mean that a firm can increase its stock price in the long
vivado [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Yes, as there is an increase in dividend with the same expected return, share price increases using dividend growth model.

As for example current dividend = $5

And expected return = 10%

Price of share = 5/10% = $50

In case dividend is increased to $10 then share market price = $10/10% = $100

Now, with an increase in dividend rate, there is an increase in market price accordingly company can raise dividend in order to raise the share price accordingly.

Further, this might not be possible when dividend is fixed for the period as dividend is fixed with no further growth rate the price will also be fixed. So every time when the price is to be increased, the dividend has to be increased.

Therefore, above statement is true.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$1,364

Explanation:

According to the MACRS a rental house is classified as the 27.5 year residential property. It is the first year after purchase and August is the 8th month of 2019 and so according to the MACRS depreciation table for the residential property the rate applicable for this property is 1.364%. Maximum depreciation deduction for the year 2019 is

Cost of House = $174,000

Cost of Land = $74,000

Cost of Building = $100,000

As depreciation on land is not applicable because it does not depreciate. The depreciation will be calculated using Building value

Depreciation = $100,000 x 1.364% = $1,364

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

$585,000

Explanation:

Using high-low method

Variable cost = Total cost (high activity) - Total cost (low activity) / Highest activity unit - Lowest activity unit

Variable cost = 720,000 - 450,000 / 100

Variable cost = 270,000 / 100

Variable cost = 270

Variable cost = Cost - Fixed cost

Now 720,000 = (200) * 2,700 - Fixed cost

- FIxed cost = 540,000 - 720,000

- Fixed cost = -180,000

Fixed cost = 180,000

Now Cost for 150 = 2,700 (150) + 180,000

= 405,000 + 180,000

= $585,000
