Find the market value of​ Lawrence's shares when dividends are expected to grow at 8​% annually for 3​ years, followed by a 7​% constant annual growth rate in years 4 to infinity.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Value of stock = $41.75

Explanation:

The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.

value of dividend from year 1 to 3

Year                                                     Present Value  

1               2.28× 1.08^1 × 1.13^(1-) =           2.179

2             2.28× 1.08^2 × 1.13^(-2) =         2.083

3.              2.28 × 1.08^3 × 1.13^(-3)=          1.991

Present value of Dividend in Year 4 and beyond

This will be done in two steps

Step 1  :PV in year 3 terms  

= Dividend in year 4× (1.06)/(0.1-0.06)

2.28 × 1.08^3  × 1.07/(0.13-0.07)=  51.220

step 2 : PV in year 0 terms =

PV in year 3 × 1.1^(-3)

=51.220 × 1.13^(-3)= 35.498

Value of stock =  2.179  +2.083  +1.991 + 35.498 = 41.75

Value of stock = $41.75

You find a zero coupon bond with a par value of $10,000 and 21 years to maturity. The yield to maturity on this bond is 4.3 percent. Assume semiannual compounding periods.What is the price of the bond?

Answers

Answer:

Price of bond $4,092.49

Explanation:

Computation the price of the bond

Using this formula

Price of bond=Par value*1/(1+YTM/2)^(2*time period)

Where,

Par value=$10,000

1/(1+YTM/2)=1/(1+0.043/2)

(2*time period)=(2*21 years)

Let plug in the formula

Price of bond=$10,000*1/(1+0.043/2)^(2*21)

Price of bond=$10,000*1/(1.0215)^42

Price of bond=$10,000*(0.97895252)^42

Price of bond=$10,000*0.4092497467

Price of bond=$4,092.49

Therefore the price of the bond will be $4,092.49

Owen expects to receive at the end of next year from a trust fund. If a bank loans money at an interest rate of ​, how much money can he borrow from the bank on the basis of this​ information?

Answers

Answer: a) $18,605

Explanation:

Here is the formula

Fva = A [( + I)^n-1/I]

Where a = annuity

I = interest rate

N = number of years

Inserting into formula

Reed Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2022. During 2022, Reed changed from the double-declining balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost $900,000. It had an original useful life of 25 years and a salvage value of $60,000. Purchase date was 1/1/20. The 2022 depreciation expense for the building will be:

Answers

Answer:

$30,511.30

Explanation:

The double declining method was used for two years

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2 /25 = 0.08

Depreciation expense in 2020 = 0.08 x $900,000 = $72,000

Book value =  $900,000 - $72,000 = $828,000

Depreciation expense in 2021 = 0.08 x $828,000 = $66,240

book value = $828,000 - $66,240 = $761,760

Straight line depreciation expense = (book value - Salvage value) / useful life

useful life = 25 - 2 = 23

book value = $761,760

salvage value = $60,000.

( $761,760  - $60,000. ) / 23 = $30,511.30

The depreciation expense for the remaining useful life of the asset would $30,511.30

Date                  Account                       Debit                Credit

Dec 31, 2018   Bad debts expense   $6,600  

Allowance for uncollectible accounts                          $6,600

B) net realizable value of accounts receivable= Total Accounts Receivable - Allowance for uncollectible accounts

= $33,000 - $6,600= $26400

What best explains why a firm's ratio of long-term debt/total capital is lower than the industry average, while the ratio of income before interest and taxes/debt interest charges is higher than the industry average

Answers

Answer:

The lower ratio of long-term debt to total capital is explained by the fact that the company is not highly geared or leveraged in comparison to the industry average firm.

This also explains why the ratio of income before interest and taxes to the debt interest charges is higher than the industry average because the firm does not pay so much in interest expense as the average firm in its industry.

Explanation:

Company X's leverage determines its ratio of long-term debts to total capital.  If Company X has large long-term debts it will have a higher long-term debts to total capital ratio and vice versa.  In that situation, Company X will also pay more in interest, causing its ratio of income before interest and taxes to the interest charges to be higher than the industry average, and vice versa.

Piedmont Hotels is an all-equity company. Its stock has a beta of 1.23. The market risk premium is 6.9 percent and the risk-free rate is 2.7 percent. The company is considering a project that it considers riskier than its current operations so it wants to apply an adjustment of 1.9 percent to the project's discount rate. What should the firm set as the required rate of return for the project

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return for the project will be 13.087%

Explanation:

To calculate the required rate of return for the project, we must first calculate the required rate of return for the firm's equity. The required rate of return can be calculated using the CAPM or Capital Asset Pricing Model equation. The formula for required rate of return (r) under this model is,

r = rRf + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRF is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

r = 0.027 + 1.23 * 0.069

r = 0.11187 or 11.187%

The discount rate that is usually used for an all equity firm is its required rate of return. Thus, the required rate of return for the project will be,

r = 0.11187 +  0.019

r = 0.13087 or 13.087%

b. allowing for competition among different firms in the water-distribution industry is efficient.
c. average cost increases as the quantity of water produced increases.
d. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes.

Answers

Answer:

d. multiple firms would likely each have to pay large fixed costs to develop their own network of pipes.

Explanation:

Option a is wrong because:

The initial investment is very high, therefore, the more firms competing will only increase the required investments and fixed costs associated with them, e.g. depreciation, maintenance. That is why the lowest average costs is generally achieved when only one firm serves this type of market.

Option b is wrong because:

A natural monopoly exists because it is extremely difficult for two or more competing firms to exist. Generally the required investment is very high, and the revenues are not large enough to allow two or more firms to compete.

Option c is wrong because:

Utilities require large initial investments, but once they are set up, the production costs are very small. I.e. the fixed costs are more relevant than the variable costs. Average production costs as decrease as the quantity produced increases.

In which of the following situations would a delegation of contractual duties be allowed? Multiple Choice A painter hired to paint your home. A sculptor hired to sculpt your bust. An actor hired to perform in a play. A surgeon performing brain surgery.

Answers

Answer:

A painter hired to paint your home.

Explanation:

Delegation of contractual duty occurs when the individual that is supposed to perform a task transfers the responsibility of performing the task to another person.

For example if someone is supposed to paint a house but he has other engagements. He can delegate to another painter to perform the painting.

Delegation does not transfer contractual rights as the original person still collects payment for performance of the task.

Usually delegation can occur for tasks that do not require special skill and can be performed by anyone.

In the other scenarios special skill is required so delegation will not be usually allowed.

Calculate gross profit ratio and cost of goods sold Refer to the consolidated statements of earnings in the Campbell Soup Company annual report in the appendix.
Required:
a. Calculate the gross profit ratio for each of the past three years.
b. Assume that Campbell's net sales for the first four months of 2015 totaled 527 billion. Calculate an estimated cost of goods sold and gross profit for the four months.

Answers

Answer:

gross profit ratio = (total revenue - cost of goods sold) / total revenue

I looked for the missing information:

year                    total sales                   cost of goods sold

2012                    $7,175                            $4,365

2013                    $8,052                           $5,140

2014                    $8,268                           $5,370

   

a)

gross profit ratio:

2012 = ($7,175 - $4,365) / $7,175 = 39.16%

2013 = ($8,052 - $5,140) / $8,052 = 36.16%

2014 = ($8,268 - $5,370) / $8,268 = 35.05%

b)

since the gross profit margin ratio is decreasing every year, we can assume that it will keep decreasing in 2015. Using linear regression, the slope is -0.02055. So the estimated gross profit margin ratio for 2015 = 34.33%

estimated cogs (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x (1 - 34.33%) = $346.08 billion

estimated gross profit (first four months of 2015) = $527 billion x 34.33% = $180.92 billion

What is the difference between full absorption costing and variable costing?A. In full absorption costing, all of the non-manufacturing costs are expensed. In variable costing, all of the non-manufacturing expenses are included in the cost of the product.B. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product.C. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.D. Variable costing must be used for external financial reports while full absorption costing can only be used for internal reporting.

Answers

Answer: C. In full absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of the product. In variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed.

Explanation:

Full absorption costing accounts for all the costs involved in making a product including the indirect and the direct costs. That means both variable costs like direct materials and direct labor as well as fixed costs like rent, and insurance are included in the cost of the product.

Variable costing on the other hand expenses fixed manufacturing overhead separately. As a result, Full absorption has a higher cost of inventory than does Variable costing.
