Answer:
D) 1,200 shares held at a cost basis of $37.50 per share
Explanation:
Since the company paid a stock dividend, it increased the number of stocks held by the stockholders. The investor initially had 1,000 shares plus a 20% dividend = 1,000 x 1.2 = 1,200 shares. Since each stock should theoretically be worth less, his/her basis should decrease. The basis for each stock was $44(price) + $1(commission) = $45, after the dividend is paid it will be adjusted to $45 / 1.2 = $37.50 per stock
Answer:
fixed income
Explanation:
During the expansion business cycle, economic activities are on the increase. Key economic indicators such as employment, incomes, business earnings, demand, and supply of goods and services show positive and progressive numbers. During expansion, the GDP growth rate is healthy, and the level of investment is high.
The expansion phase brings along inflationary pressure. At the peak or near the end of the expansion cycle, the inflation rate is always above the optimal level and sometimes in double digits. A high rate of inflation weakens the purchases power of the local currency. Employees on a fixed income will be disadvantaged. Their income will afford them fewer goods and services compared to the period before expansion.
Answer:
a) DuPont analysis for Johnson International
2013: 0.059 x 2.11 x 1.75 = 0.2179 = 21.79%
2014: 0.058 x 2.18 x 1.75 = 0.2213 = 22.13%
2015: 0.049 x 2.34 x 1.85 = 0.2121 = 21.21%
b) DuPont analysis for industry averages
2013: 0.054 x 2.05 x 1.67 = 0.2121 = 21.21%
2014: 0.047 x 2.13 x 1.69 = 0.1692 = 16.92%
2015: 0.041 x 2.15 x 1.64 = 0.1446 = 14.46%
c) Johnson International's drivers follow the same tendency as the industry's average, e.g. net profit margin decreased in a similar manner, and total asset turnover increased also in a similar manner to the industry's average. The only driver that doesn't follow the industry's trend is financial leverage. While other companies in the same industry decreased their financial leverage, Johnson increased it. You should further analyze why this happened and what are the potential consequences.
Explanation:
The DuPont analysis is used to break down ROE into 3 different components and that way you can analyze whether a company's high ROE comes along with a high risk. The following formula is used to calculate ROE based on 3 different factors:
R
OE = net pro
fit margin x total assets turnover x financial leverage
Answer:
$46.41
Explanation:
Sunset corporation has an EPS of $2.21
The benchmark PE is 21
The earnings are expected to grow at 5 % per year
Therefore the current stock price can be calculated as follows
= benchmark PE × earnings per share.
= 2.21 × 21
= $46.41
Hence the estimate of the current stock price is $46.41
