Answer:
The stock A is most valuable as the fair value of Stock A is $100 which is more than the fair value of Stock B ( $83.33) and Stock C ($34.28).
Explanation:
to calculate the fair price of the stocks, we will use the DDM or dividend discount model. The DDM bases the value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.
Let r be the discount rate which is 10%.
a.
The stock is like a perpetuity as it pays a constant dividend after equal intervals of time and for an indefinite period.
The price of this stock can be calculated as,
Price or P0 = Dividend / r
P0 = 10 / 0.1 = $100
b.
The constant growth model of DDM can be used to calculate the price of this stock as its dividends are growing at a constant rate forever.
P0 = D1 / r - g
Where,
- D1 is the dividend for the next period
- r is the cost of equity or discount rate
- g is the growth rate in dividends
P0 = 5 / (0.1 - 0.04)
P0 = $83.33
c.
The price of this stock can be calculated using the present of dividends.
P0 = 5 / (1+0.1) + 5 * (1+0.2) / (1+0.1)^2 + 5 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.1)^3 +
5 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.1)^4 + 5 * (1+0.2)^4 / (1+0.1)^5 + 5 * (1+0.2)^5 / (1+0.1)^6
P0 = $34.28
Answer:
B)The cost of energy for a company can be both a fixed cost and a variable cost.
Explanation:
Energy is a fixed cost because it is an utility that companies have to pay regardless of the level of production; they need energy to function.
Energy is a variable cost because energy is an input to production, and the amount of energy used (and hence its cost) can vary a lot depending on how much output is produced. In the question, ethanol is referenced, which is also a type of variable cost, because it is an energy source that depends on another input (corn), and its used as a substitue for gasoline.
Answer:
Bad Debt expense = Allowance for uncollectible debit + (Estimated uncollectibles)
= 1,900 + (15% * 116,000)
= $19,300
1.
Dec. 31 DR Bad debt expenses $19,300
CR Allowance for Uncollectable $19,300
2. Balance Sheet;
= 116,000 * 15%
= $17,400
Income Statement;
= $19,300
3. Net realizable value
= Accounts receivable - Estimated uncollectibles
= 116,000 - 17,400
= $98,600
Answer:
The correct answer is True.
Explanation:
According to Maslow's theory of human needs, self-realization needs are those that seek to satisfy our own personal abilities, to develop our potential, to do what we have better aptitudes for and the need to develop and expand metamotives (discover the truth, create beauty, produce order and foster justice). This was exactly what Walter was looking for, because it was what he really loved.
Answer:
Predatory pricing.
Explanation:
When Lofonift Inc. introduced its flagship product, an MP3 player, it captured the MP3 player market by offering its product at the lowest price in the market. This gradually forced many of its competitors out of business. Once its competitors were out of business, Lofonift Inc. raised its prices. In this scenario, Lofonift Inc. most likely indulged in predatory pricing.
Predatory pricing is a strategy used by some business owners to reduce the cost of a particular commodity or item to the lowest possible amount such that the available competitors will be driven out of business.
