Answer:
10.92%
Explanation:
The formula and the computation of the estimated cost of equity capital is shown below:
Stock price = Next year dividend ÷ (cost of equity - expected dividend growth rate) 
We assume the cost of equity be X
$34 = $3.10  ÷ (cost of equity - 1.8%)
$34 X - $34 × 1.8X = $3.10
After solving this, 
The cost of equity would be 10.92%
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
For comprehension purpose, I would attach options to the question:
All of the following are required resources for differentiation except:
A. Strong marketing capability B. Corporate reputation for quality. C. Product engineering. D. Intense supervision of labor.
The correct answer is Option D (Intense supervision of labor)
Explanation:
The differentiation asked in the question above is product differentiation.
Product differentiation, in Economics, talks about the efficient way a producer or seller of a product makes it unique in the market thereby creating an edge between the product and other similar ones or other products.
So, strong marketing capability exposes the strength and uniqueness of the product to prospective buyers which in turn brings sales.
Corporate reputation and product engineering are a strong boost in sales, as reputable companies and the physical appearance of a product tend to get easy acceptance in the market. While Intense supervision of labor may increase the efficiency of production but it is not to be considered as a resource for differentiation.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Bondware Inc.
FIFO Inventory Method:
Ending Inventory (60 units):
Absorption Costing = $66,000
Variable Costing = $56,400
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Unit Production Costs for March:
Direct materials     $500 
Variable overhead   440 
Total variable cost $940
Fixed overhead        160
Total manufacturing
   costs per unit   $1,100
Calculation of Ending Units of Inventory:
Beginning units     100
Units produced = 500
Units sold =         (540)
Ending units =        60
Beginning Inventory, 100 units:
Absorption costing value = $90,000
Variable costing value = $76,000
FIFO Inventory Method:
Ending Inventory:
Absorption Costing = 60 * $1,100 = $66,000
Variable Costing = 60 * $940 =       $56,400
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The answer is below.
Explanation:
The z score is a used in statistics to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

a) Given that n = 100, μ = 2000, σ = 18
For x < 1995 millimeters:

From the normal distribution table, P(x < 1995) = P(z < -2.78) = 0.0027
b) P(z > z*)  = 10% = 0.1
P(z < z*) = 1 - 0.1 = 0.9
z* = 1.28

From the normal distribution table, P(z < z
