Answer:

First we need to use the ddm model when the growth rate is constant and find the price then,because the ddm model cannot be used when the growth rate  is not constant and then discount it back to present value at 12% which is the required return.

Last dividend = $4

Dividend one year from now = 4*1.015=4.06

Dividend 2 years from now = 4.06*1.015=4.12

Growth rate 2 years from now = 8%

R= 12%

Price = D*(1+G)/(R-G)

=4.12*(1+1.08)/(0.12-0.08)=4.45/0.04= 111.26

Price of stock 2 years from now $111.26, now we need to discount it to the present value. 111.26/1.12^2=88.69

Best estimate = b. $89.87

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

C) $ 15.00 per hour

Explanation:

total labor hours 26,000 per year

total indirect costs $390,000

if the company allocates indirect costs according to labor hours employed, the cost allocation rate should be:

$390,000 / 26,000 = $15 per direct labor hour

This means that for every labor hour employed, $15 will be allocated as indirect costs, e.g. a client requires 50 labor hours per year and $750 (= 50 x $15) in indirect costs.
