Answer:
$3.85
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the current dividend per share
First step is to calculate the Dividend yield using this formula
Dividend yield=Dividend for next period/Current price
Let plug in the formula
Dividend yield=(13%/2)
Dividend yield=6.5%
Second step is to calculate the Dividend for next period
Dividend for next period=($63*6.5%)
Dividend for next period=$4.095
Now let determine the Current dividend using this formula
Current dividend=Dividend for next period*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
Let plug in the formula
Current dividend=$4.095/1+.065
Current dividend=$4.095/1.065
Current dividend=$3.85(Approx).
Therefore the current dividend per share is $3.85

The MD Fund has an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of 20%. The risk-free rate is 4%. What is the reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio for the MD Fund
Answer: 60% or 0.60
Explanation:
Sharpe ratio shows the risk adjusted return of an asset and then compares it to a risk-free asset to see if its returns are higher after it has been adjusted for risk.
Formula is:
= (Expected return - Risk free rate) / Standard deviation
= (16% - 4%) / 20%
= 12% / 20%
= 60% or 0.60
Tracey Sales Co. has predicted the following costs for this year for 500,000 units: Manufacturing Selling and Administrative Variable $ 800,000 $250,000 Fixed 1,200,000 300,000 Total $2,000,000 $550,000 What is the markup on variable manufacturing costs needed to break even
Answer: 218.75%
Explanation:
In order to breakeven, the variable manufacturing cost would have to be the same as the fixed costs in addition to the administrative costs.
= Fixed costs + Administrative cost
= 1,200,000 + 550,000
= $1,750,000
Variable cost needs to be $1,750,000
It is currently at $800,000 so it needs to increase by:
= 1,750,000 / 800,000 * 100%
= 218.75%

Draw supply and demand graphs that estimate what will happen to demand, supply, and the equilibrium price of coffee if these events occur: Widely reported medical studies suggest that coffee drinkers are less likely to develop certain diseases.
Answer:
Please find the required diagram in the attached image
Explanation:
Only a change in the price of a good leads to a movement along the demand curve of that good. Also, only a change in the price of the good would lead to an increase or decrease in the quantity demanded of that good.
Other factors other than the change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the demand curve. Some of those factors include :
1. a change in consumers' expectation
2. a change in the taste of consumers
3. a change in income
As a result of the study, there would be an increase in the demand for coffee. This would shift the demand curve to the right. As a result, there would an increase in equilibrium price and quantity
When a market is in equilibrium, the: multiple choice 1 quantity demanded equals the price. quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied at the market price. quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied and they both equal the price. quantity supplied equals the price. The market for cell phones reaches equilibrium because cell phone sellers have an incentive: multiple choice 2 to decrease quantity and so do cell phone consumers, so the price goes to to equilibrium. for prices to rise and some cell phone consumers will not buy at higher prices, driving the price to equilibrium. to increase quantity and so do cell phone consumers, so the price goes to to equilibrium. for prices to fall and some cell phone consumers only buy at higher prices, driving the price to equilibrium.

Expando, Inc., is considering the possibility of building an additional factory that would produce a new addition to its product line. The company is currently considering two options. The first is a small facility that it could build at a cost of $7 million. If demand for new products is low, the company expects to receive $9 million in discounted revenues (present value of future revenues) with the small facility. On the other hand, if demand is high, it expects $14 million in discounted revenues using the small facility. The second option is to build a large factory at a cost of $8 million. Were demand to be low, the company would expect $9 million in discounted revenues with the large plant. If demand is high, the company estimates that the discounted revenues would be $13 million. In either case, the probability of demand being high is .30, and the probability of it being low is .70. Not constructing a new factory would result in no additional revenue being generated because the current factories cannot produce these new products.

I am buying a firm with an expected perpetual cash flow of $1,000 but am unsure of its risk. If I think the beta of the firm is 0, when the beta is really 1, how much more will I offer for the firm than it is truly worth? Assume the risk-free rate is 4% and the expected rate of return on the market is 10%. (Input the amount as a positive value.)
Answer:
$15,000
Explanation:
Value of a perpetuality = cash flow / r
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
4 + 0 (10 - 4) = 4
1,000/ 0.04 = 25,000
4 + 1 (10 - 4) = 10
1000 / 0.1 = 10,000
25,000 - 10,000 = 15,000

Bethany needs to borrow $10,000. She can borrow the money at 6% simple interest for 5 yr or she can borrow at 5% with interest compounded continuously for 5 yr.
a. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 6% simple interest?
b. How much total interest would Bethany pay at 5% interest compounded continuously?
c. Which option results in less total interest?
Answer:
a. $3000
b. 2840.25
c. compounded continuously
Explanation:
a. principal amount, p = $10000
Interest rate in the case of simple interest = 6%
Time, t = 5 years
Interest amount = Prt
Interest amount = 10000 x 6% x 5 = $3000
b. principal amount, p = $10000
Interest rate, r = 5%
Time, t = 5 years
Interest amount = Pe^(rt) - P
Interest amount = 10000 (2.71)^(5% x 5) - 10000
Interest amount = 2840.25
c. Compounded continuously has a lower interest amount.

What is the effective annual cost of skipping the discount and paying at the end of the net period for the following credit terms: 6/10, net 70
Answer:
APR = 38.829%
APY = 45.70%
Explanation:
Missing word "Calculate the APR and the APY."
Discount % = 6%
Total period = 70
Discount period = 10
i. APR = (Discount% / [100% - Discount%]) * (365 / [Total period - Discount period])
APR = [6% / 100%-6%] * [365 / 70 - 10]
APR = 6%/94% * 365/60
APR = 0.06382979 * 6.083333
APR = 0.38829787
APR = 38.83%
ii. APY = (1 + [Discount% / {100% - Discount%}])^(365/[Total period - Discount period]) - 1
APY = [1 + [6%/ / 100%-6%]^(365/70-10) - 1
APY = {1 + 0.06382979]^6.083333 - 1
APY = 1.06382979^6.083333 - 1
APY = 1.45704250704 - 1
APY = 0.45704250704
APY = 45.70%
A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $9.51 growing at 1.75%. The discount rate is 9.14%. What should be the current stock price
Answer:
PV= $84.56
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $9.51 growing at 1.75%. The discount rate is 9.14%.
First, we need to calculate the value of the stock in five years:
PV5 = D1 / (i - g)
PV5= (9.51*1.0175) / (0.0914 - 0.0175)
PV5=$130.94
Now, the value today of the stock:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 130.94 / (1.0914^5)
PV= $84.56
1-a. How much will net operating income increase (decrease) per month if the monthly advertising budget increases by $8,400, the monthly sales volume increases by 100 units, and the total monthly sales increase by $9,500? 1-b. Should the advertising budget be increased?
Answer:
a. Income before advertising budget increase:
= Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= (38 * 3,600) - 79,000
= $57,800
Income after advertising budget increases:
= Sales - Variable expenses - Fixed expenses
Sales = (3,600 + 100 units) * 95 per unit
= $351,500
Variable expenses = 60% * 351,500
= $210,900
Fixed expenses = 79,000 + 8,400 advertising
= $87,400
Income = 351,500 - 210,900 - 87,400
= $53,200
b. Income decreased with the increase in advertising so Advertising budget should not be increased.
In 2019, Teller Company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. Variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. The same selling price, variable expenses, and fixed expenses are expected for 2020. What is Teller’s break-even point in units for 2020? g
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 1,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $600
Unitary variable cost= $420
Fixed cost= $270,000
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 270,000 / (600 - 420)
Break-even point in units= 1,500

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
What is the end behavior of the graph of the polynomial function f(x)
Answer:
f(x) approaches infinity as x approaches infinity
Explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 3x^6 + 30x^5+ 75x^4[/tex]
Required
The end behavior of the graph
We have:
[tex]f(x) = 3x^6 + 30x^5+ 75x^4[/tex]
The above expression implies that:
[tex]f(x) = 3x^6 + 30x^5+ 75x^4[/tex]
The leading coefficient is 3 (3 is positive)
And the degree of the polynomial is 6 (6 is even)
When the leading coefficient is positive and the degree is even; the end behavior of the function is:
[tex]x \to \infty[/tex]
[tex]f(x) \to \infty[/tex]
Using the starting point method, what is the price elasticity of demand from a price of $4.50 to a price of $4.00 per pack of 100 screws
Answer:
The price elasticity of demand is -9.00.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
The table below shows the weekly demand for machine screws at the local hardware store.
Price (dollars per pack of 100 screws) Quantity (packs of 100 screws)
$5.00 0
4.50 60
4.00 120
3.50 180
3.00 240
2.50 300
2.00 360
1.50 420
1.00 480
0.50 540
0.0 600
Using the starting point method, what is the price elasticity of demand from a price of $4.50 to a price of $4.00 per pack of 100 screws:
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
New quantity = 120
Old quantity = 60
New price = $4.00
Old price = $4.50
Using the formula for calculating the starting point method for elasticity of demand, we have:
Price elasticity of demand = ((New quantity - Old quantity) / (New price - Old price)) * (Old price / Old quantity) = ((120 - 60) / (4.00 - 4.50)) * (4.50 / 60) = -9.00
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is -9.00.
The price elasticity of demand is -9.00.
Given information
New quantity = 120
Old quantity = 60
New price = $4.00
Old price = $4.50
Now, we will use the formula below for calculating the starting point method for elasticity of demand.
Price elasticity of demand = ((New quantity - Old quantity) / (New price - Old price)) * (Old price / Old quantity)
Price elasticity of demand = ((120 - 60) / (4.00 - 4.50)) * (4.50 / 60)
Price elasticity of demand = -9.00
In conclusion, the price elasticity of demand is -9.00.
