                                     per haircut          per month
base salary                                               9660
manager bonus                                          530
commission                     5.92
advertising                                                 270

Total                                6.47                11605

Revenue                         11.47

Break even point in unit = Fixed expenses per month / Contribution margin per month.

Break even point in unit = 11,605 / (11.47-6.47) = 11,605 / 5 = 2,321 haircuts

Break even point in $ = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

Break even point in $ = 11,605 / (5/11.47) = 11,605 / 0.44 = 26,375

Net Income = (Contribution Margin * # of haircuts) - Fixed expenses

Net Income = (5 * 2,380) - 11,605 = 11,900 - 11,605 = 295

If ABC corporation paid a dividend of $6 per share last year. The stock currently...
icang [17]

Answer:

r or cost of equity = 0.1395  or  13.95%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * 91+g) / (r - g)

Where,

  • D0 is the dividend paid last year
  • D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year
  • g is the growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return or cost of equity  

Plugging in the values for D0, P0 and g in the formula, we can calculate r to be,

80 = 6 * (1+0.06) / (r - 0.06)

80 * (r - 0.06) = 6.36

80r - 4.8  =  6.36

80r  =  6.36 + 4.8

r  =  11.16 / 80

r = 0.1395  or  13.95%
