Answer:
-9.92%
Explanation:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
- Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
- Re = cost of equity = ?
- P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
- g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%
Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g
Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%
Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%
Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.
Answer:
3.33%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Real per capita GDP in South Korea in 1957 = $400
per capita GDP in South Korea in 1978 = $800
Total number of years taken to double the GDP = 21 years
Now,
Using the Rule of 70, which states that
Number of years to double the GDP = 70 ÷ (average annual economic growth rate )
thus,
21 years = 70 ÷ average annual economic growth rate
or
Average annual economic growth rate = 3.33%
Answer:
$1,070
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of applied overhead is:
Using this formula
Applied overhead = Total cost of WIP - Direct materials - Direct labor
Let plug in the formula
Applied overhead= $3,550 - $1,610 - $870
Applied overhead=$1,070
Therefore the amount of applied overhead is:$1,070
