MNO preferred stock pays a dividend of $2 per year and has a price of $20. If MNO's tax rate is 21 percent, the required rate of

soldi70 [24.7K]

The required rate of return on its preferred stock is found by using PW = D/R.

Given Information

Dividend per year = $2

Stock price = $20

Tax rate = 21%

Required rate of return (R) = ?

The formula for use to derive the Required rate of return includes PV = D/R, where PW means Present worth, D = Dividend per year and R means Required rate of return.

PV = D/R

$20 = $2 / R

$20 * R = $2

R = $2 / $20

R = 0.1

R = 10%

Therefore,, the required rate of return on the preferred stock is 10%.

In conclusion, the required rate of return on its preferred stock is found by using PW = D/R.

What is variable cost per unit

SSSSS [86.1K]

Variable costs are the costs that change in total each time an additional unit is produced or sold. With a variable cost, the per unit cost stays the same, but the more units produced or sold, the higher the total cost. ... Although total fixed costs are constant, the fixed cost per unit changes with the number of units.

Division A offers its product to outside markets for $30. It incurs variable costs of $11 per unit and fixed costs of $75,000 pe

olga55 [171]

Answer:

a. See part a below for the analysis.

b. We have:

1. Division A total cost = $1,131,000

2. Division A total profit or benefit = $1,509,000

3. Division B total cost = $1,320,000

4. Division A total profit or benefit = $44,000

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of calculation of costs and benefits of options available to Divisions A and B.

a. What are the costs and benefits of the alternatives available to Division A and Division B with respect to the transfer of Division A's product? Assume that Division A can market all that it can produce.

Under this condition, each analysis is based on the condition that either Division A or Division B will pay for the transportation cost.

From part a the attached excel file, we have:

1. Division A will incur a total cost of of $559,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $761,000 if it sells to the outside market.

2. Division A will incur a total cost of of $647,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $673,000 if it sells to Division B.

3. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,408,000 if it buys from Division A.

4. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,364,000 if it buys alternate supplier. It thereby saves the transportation cost of $88,000 of buying from A as a benefit.

b. How would your answer change if Division A had idle capacity sufficient to cover all of Division B's needs?

Under this condition, it is assumed that Division A will pay for the transportation cost. Therefore, Division A will sell to both the outside market and Division B.

From part b of the attached excel file, we will have the following based on this condition:

1. Division A total cost = Total cost of selling to the outside market + Total cost of selling to Division B = $559,000 + $572,000 = $1,131,000

2. Division A profit or benefit cost = Total profit or benefits of selling to the outside market + Total profit or benefits of selling to Division B = $761,000 + $748,000 = $1,509,000

3. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,320,000 by buying from Division A. It thereby saves $44,000 (i.e. $1,364,000 - $1,320,000 = $44,000) as a benefit for not buying from alternate supplier.

Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal,

Ahat [919]

Answer: $329.75

Explanation:

The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,

= 78 - 38

= 40 years

Evans Ltd average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.

I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.

The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.

The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,

= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)

= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)

= $329.752

= $329.75

This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.
