Answer: 1. Degree of Operating Leverage = 4

2. $384,000

Explanation:

1. Degree of Operating Leverage is calculated by dividing the Contribution margin by the Net Operating income.

Now, the Contribution margin is the difference between Price and Variable Cost. This means that if you remove fixed costs from it as well you get your profit.

Therefore 1. can be calculated thus,

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Net Operating income

Degree of Operating Leverage = 960,000 / 960,000 - 720,000

Degree of Operating Leverage = 4

2. When Sales increases by a certain percentage we multiply that percentage by the Degree of Operating Leverage to find out how much Income will increase by.

Because sales went up by 15%, Singh Co. can expect that income would rise by,

= 15% * 4

= 60%.

Now income is Contribution margin - fixed costs so we have,

Income = 960,000 - 720,000

Income = $240,000

An increase of 60% would be

= 240,000( 1+ 60%)

=$384,000

$384,000 is the amount of income that Singh Co. can expect.

frozen [14]

The annual Dividend (D0) = $1.10

D1 = $1.10 * (1+0.21)^1 = $1.33

D2 = $1.10* (1+0.21)^2 = $1.61

D3 = $1.10* (1+0.21)^3 = $1.95

D4 = $1.10 * (1+0.21)^4 = $2.36

D5 = $1.10*(1+0.05) = $2.48

Now the price of the stock at the end of the fourth year (P4) = $2.48/(0.085-0.05)

P4 = $2.48 / (0.035)

P4 = $70.85

Now the Price of the stock (P0) = $1.33/(1+0.085) + $1.61/(1+0.085)^2 +$1.95/(1+0.085)^3 + $2.36/(1+0.085)^4 + $70.86/(1+0.085)^4

Price of the stock (P0) = $1.23 +$1.37 + $1.53 + $1.70 + $51.13

Price of the stock (P0) = $56.86

Therefore the correct option is d, $56.86

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$1,103,000

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

For assets disposed, the amount received from the disposal is the amount recorded as an investing activity.

Amount received  - Book value of asset = Gain on disposal

Amount received = $221000 + $882000

= $1,103,000
