Answer:
cost of equity = 13%
Explanation:
With the info given, we will use cost of equity formula from Dividend Growth Model. THis is given by:
Where D_1 is the next year dividend or D_1 = D_0(1+g)
P_0 is current stock price
g is the growth rate
Since D_0 (dividend this year) is 4.20 and g = 6.4% or 0.064, we can calculate D_1:
Current share price is 68, so we can now calculate cost of equity:
Hence,
cost of equity = 13%
Answer:
Yes.
I agree with the statement that "Persistent long-term growth is most achievable in moderate rates."
Explanation:
For instance, Company B may not be motivated to continue on its growth trajectory because it has doubled in size in a few years. The reason for this demotivation is that to achieve further growth may not become a motivator and it may not be repeatable, with management relaxing its growth efforts. Companies that achieve persistent long-term growth usually grow at moderate rates.
Answer:
$20,600
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Depreciation is a non-cash item in the income statement as the actual cash spent for the purchase of the asset would have been capitalized in the balance sheet.
Hence the total cash disbursements budgeted for operating expenses for the month of January would not include depreciation.
Total cash disbursements budgeted for operating expenses for the month of January
= $15,000 + $12,000 + (4% × $90,000)
= $15,000 + $12,000 + $3,600
= $20,600
Answer:
a. does not shift
b. shifts to the left
c. increases
a. decreases
Explanation:
As a result of the drought affecting the supply of cream, the supply of chocolate would fall. As a result, the supply curve would shift to the left. The demand curve would remain unchanged.
As a result of the leftward shift of the supply curve, the equilibrium price would increase and quantity would fall.
Answer:
Explanation:
Under GAAP, every cost incurred should be classified into either period cost or product cost, where:
Product Cost:
The cost business has incurred right now, but will benefit from it in future for e.g. raw materials used to manufacture something which will be sold in next period (by the way period means the time span for which business is reporting its performance like year or quarter). these generally include direct labor, materials and manufacturing over heads
these costs should be capitalized and expensed out in future as the inventory is used.
Period Cost:
all other costs from which business has benefited completely in current period, including admin sales and distribution related costs
these should be expensed out in current period.
for warehousing costs, if they pertain to raw materials and semi finished goods they will be capitalized but if they pertains to finished goods they will be expensed out (as there is no benefit expected from them in future now)
for research and development, every research cost should be expensed out for e.g. feasibility studies under GAAP, but if product found to be commercially viable then the development costs can be capitalized as intangible asset(with the same logic as these will be exactly like manufacturing costs for tangible products).
