Answer:

Increase promotion spending

Explanation:

Note that the challenge for the product is to get a demand that supersedes that of their competitor. Thus, by spending more on promotion they could still maintain the contribution margin while at the same time increase consumers demand the product.

For example, by adding extra gift items to their products consumers would likely feel motivated to buy the product over the other.

mestny [16]

Answer: $688.17

Explanation:

He has to pay $60 every month on the first day or a lump sum.

The lump sum will be the present value of monthly payments.

This is a stable Cashflow and so is an Annuity and because it is done on the first day of the month it is an Annuity due.

Calculating present value of annuity due is;

= Annuity + Annuity (( 1 - ( 1 + r) ^ -(n - 1)) / r)

= 60 + 60 (( 1 - ( 1 + 0.833%)-¹¹) / 0.833%) )

=60 + 60* 10.4695

= $688.17

Note: interest rate must be divided into 12 to make it monthly rate.

=10%/12

= 0.833%

Thus, entry to record such claim of $150,000 will be:

Expenses A/c Dr.               $50,000

Claims Payable A/c Dr.      $100,000

    To Cash A/c                                             $150,000

A company’s perpetual preferred stock has a par value of $65 per share and it pays a dividend rate of 6.25% per year. The prefer
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %

Explanation:

<em>A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future. </em>

<em>A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows:  </em>

Cost of preferred stock = D/P(1-f) × 100

D- Preference dividend

P- stock price

F- flotation cost

Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value

DATA

Nominal value = $65

Stock price = $58.63  

Dividend rate=6.25%

Flotation cost = 6.5%

Preference dividend = 6.25%× 65 = 4.063

Cost of preferred stock =(4.063 /58.63×(1-0.065) × 100 = 7.41  %

Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %
