Home Division Responsibility Report For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

The report is attached in form of a variance report with comments. Where the variance is not indicated, it means that it was neither favorable nor unfavorable.

Explanation:

A responsibility report is usually presented by a division that is an investment center. An investment center has responsibility for return on investments.

The investment center takes charge of the cost, revenue, profit, and investments of the division. It is expected to produce returns on its investment that will be favorable to the shareholders of the company. It is directly responsible for profitability of the division vis-a-vis the capital investments made in the center. It is unlike other divisions like cost center, revenue center, and profit center, which narrowly report their performances in accordance with their responsibilities.

This is why it does not only report on the cost, but also the revenue, the profit and the returns on investment achieved during a period. An investment center is, therefore, the largest division of an entity.

madam [21]

Answer:

The expected rate of return on this stock is 10.31%

Explanation:

The constangt growth model of the DDM approach is used to calculate the price of a share based on the edxpected future dividends from a stock that are growing at a constant rate. The formula for price using constant growth model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Plugging in the values,

65 = 1.7 * (1+0.075) / (r - 0.075)

65 * (r - 0.075) = 1.8275

65r - 4.875 = 1.8275

65r = 1.8275 + 4.875

r= 6.7025 / 65

r = 10.31% or 0.1031
