13) Storico Co. just paid a dividend of $3.15 per share. The company will increase its dividend by 20 percent next year and then reduce its dividend growth rate by 5 percentage points per year until it reaches the industry average of 5 percent dividend growth, after which the company will keep a constant growth rate forever. If the required return on the company’s stock is 12 percent, what will a share of stock sell for today? (4 pts)

Answers

Answer:

$61.29

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what will a share of stock sell for today

First step is to calculate the price in Year 3

P3= $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)(1.05) / (.12 – .05)

P3= $5.020785/0.07

P3=$71.72

Now Let Calculate the price of stock today using the Present Value (PV) of the first three dividends in addition with the Present Value (PV) of the stock price in Year 3:

P0= $3.15(1.20)/(1.12) + $3.15(1.20)(1.15)/1.12^²+ $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)/1.12^³+ $71.72/1.12^³

P0=$3.78/1.12+$4.347/1.2544+$4.7817/1.404928+$71.72/1.404928

P0=$3.375+3.465+3.4035+$51.048

P0= $61.29

Therefore what will a share of stock sell for today is $61.29

Raspberry Company's actuary has computed its prior service cost to be $8,000,000. Raspberry amortizes the prior service cost by the straight-line method over the remaining 20-year service life of its active employees. During the current year, Raspberry also recognizes service cost of $560,000 and interest cost of $100,000. At the beginning of the year, the plan assets were $1,500,000, and the company expects to earn 10% on its plan assets. Compute Raspberry's pension expense for the current year.

Answers

Answer: $910,000

Explanation:

Pension expense is calculated by the formula:

= Prior Service cost  for the year+ Service cost + Interest cost - Expected return on plant assets

Prior Service cost = Prior service cost / Service life of active employees

= 8,000,000 / 20

= $400,000

Expected return on plan assets = Plan assets * Interest rate

= 1,500,000 * 10%

= $150,000

Pension expense = 400,000 + 560,000 + 100,000 - 150,000

= $910,000

Frida makes bread every day and due to demand she is thinking of increasing her bread production. In order to make this decision, she would calculate her marginal costs of bread production (increased number of employees, equipment, etc.) and her marginal benefits (number of loaves sold, price paid, new customers, etc.) and continue to produce where Select the correct answer below:
a. MB b. MB>MC or until they are equal.
c. total benefits equal total costs.
d. the price of bread equals exactly the marginal benefit of each loaf.

Answers

Answer: b. MB > MC or until they are equal.

Explanation:

It is best that Frieda produces bread at the level where Marginal benefits exceeds marginal costs. The difference will keep giving her more profit.

She should keep increasing her production so long as the Marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost but should stop at the level where the Marginal benefit and marginal cost become equal because producing past this point would mean that she would incur a marginal loss on each unit.

You and your family visit Orlando for a week. While there, you decide to go to Universal Studios. When you arrive, you notice that each family member can buy a day pass for $115 or a two-day pass for $150. If you want a three-day pass, the price is $170. Suppose your benefit, measured in utility, is equal to $120 in value the first day you go to the park, $50 more if you go a second day, and $15 more for the third day. What ticket, if any, should you buy

Answers

Answer:

the second day ticket

Explanation:

We would purchase the ticket with the highest net benefit

Net benefit = Benefit - cost of ticket

First day

Net benefit = $120 - $115 = $5

Second day

Net benefit = ($120 + $50) - $150 = $20

Third day

Net benefit = ($170 + $15) - $170 = $15

The second day yields the highest net benefit

Simon lost $7,100 gambling this year on a trip to Las Vegas. In addition, he paid $2,730 to his broker for managing his $273,000 portfolio and $500 to his accountant for preparing his tax return. In addition, Simon incurred $3,390 in transportation costs commuting back and forth from his home to his employer's office, which were not reimbursed. Calculate the amount of these expenses that Simon is able to deduct (assuming he itemizes his deductions).

Answers

Answer:

The Deductible amount = $0

Explanation:

The Deductible amount = $0

Reason -

Gambling losses are deductible to extent of winnings. As there is no winning, loss of $7,100 is not deductible.

Simon paid $2,730 to his broker for managing his portfolio and $500 to his accountant for preparing his tax return.

Both investment fees and tax preparation fees were in the past (before 2018) allowed under miscellaneous itemized deductions to the extent the total miscellaneous itemized deductions exceeded 2 percent of taxpayer's adjusted gross income.

However, in 2018 miscellaneous itemized deductions are no longer available.

Hence for 2018 investment fees and tax preparation fees are not deductible.

Transportation Cost of $3,390 for commuting back and forth from home to employer's office is not deductible.

As per IRS commuting expenses are personal expense.

As such:

Deductible amount = $0

Financial analysts have estimated the returns on shares of the Goldday Corporation and the overall market portfolio under two economic states nature as follows. For Goldday the state dependent returns are -0.04 in recession, and 0.10 in an economic boom. For the market the state dependent returns are -0.06 in recession,and 0.14 in boom. The analyst estimates that the probability of a recession is 0.50 while the probability of an economic boom is 0.50. Compute the covariance between Goldday and the market.'

Answers

Answer:

covariance = 0.0070

Explanation:

Given data :

probability of recession = 0.5 , probability of economic boom = 0.5

For Goldday corporation

During Recession

probability = 0.5

return on stocks = -0.04

expected return = 0.5 * - 0.04 = - 2.00%

deviation 1 = - 7% ( -0.04 - average return )

Prob * deviation ^2 = 0.5 * (- 7% )^2 = 0.002450

During Economic boom

probability = 0.5

return on stocks = 0.10

expected return = 0.5 * 0.10 = 5%

deviation 1 = 0.10 - average return = 7%

Prob * deviation^2 = 0.5 * ( 7%)^2 = 0.002450

Hence for Goldday corporation

average return = ∑ expected returns = 3%

variance = ∑ Prob * deviation^2 = 0.0049

std = √0.0049 = 7%

Note : perform the same calculation for the  Market

For Market

average return =  ∑ expected returns  = 4%

variance = ∑ Prob * deviation^2 = 0.01000

std = √ variance = 10%

Determine the covariance between Goldday and the MARKET

= ∑ ( deviation 1 * deviation 2 * probability )

=       recession    +  economic boom

= ( - 7% * - 10% * 0.5 ) + ( 7% * 10% * 0.5 )

= 0.0035 + 0.0035 = 0.0070  --------->  answer

Adkins Bakery uses the modified half-month convention to calculate depreciation expense in the year an asset is purchased or sold. Adkins has a calendar year accounting period and uses the straight-line method to compute depreciation expense. On March 17, 2018, Adkins acquired equipment at a cost of $220,000. The equipment has a residual value of $43,000 and an estimated useful life of 4 years. What amount of depreciation expense will be recorded for the year ending December 31, 2018

Answers

Answer:

Depreciation expense= $36,875

Explanation:

Under the straight line method of depreciation, the cost of an asset less the salvage value is spread equally over the expected useful life.

An equal amount is charged as annual depreciation over the life of the asset. The annual depreciation is calculated as follows:

Annual depreciation:  

= (cost of assets - salvage value)/ Estimated useful life

Cost - 220,000

Residual value = 43,000

Estimated useful life = 4 years

Annual depreciation = (220,000- 43,000)/4 =44,250

Annual depreciation = 44,250.

Under the half-month convention, a full month depreciation is charged where an asset is first put to at the middle month of the month.

Thus March 17, 2018 to December 2018 is taken to be 10 full months

Depreciation expense = 44,250.× 10/12 = 36,875

Depreciation expense= $36,875

Interest rates and decisions
Suppose that a firm is facing an upward-sloping yield curve and needs to borrow money to invest in production. Does this mean that the firm should consider borrowing only at short-term rates?
a. No, the firm needs to take the volatility of short-term rates into account.
b. No, an upward-sloping yield curve means that the firm will get a lower interest rate if it uses long-term financing
c. Yes, using short-term financing will give the firm the lowest possible interest rate over the life of the project.
Credit ratings affect the yields on bonds. Based on the scenario described in the following table, determine whether yields will increase or decrease and whether it will be more expensive or less expensive, as compared to other players in the market, for a company to borrow money from the bond market.

The company now finances its current assets such as inventories and receivables with short-term debt, and it finances its fixed assets such as buildings and equipment with long-term debt.

Answers

Answer:

a. No, the firm needs to take the volatility of short-term rates into account.

Explanation:

Short term interest rates are more volatile than the long term interest rates. If the company chooses to finance its operations solely from short term financing than it will need to incorporate the affect of volatility in the short term interest rates to identify the net returns. The volatility should be calculated with the risk factor and required rate of return of the funds.

Sierra Company produces its product at a total cost of $89 per unit. Of this amount, $14 per unit is selling and administrative costs. The total variable cost is $58 per unit, and the desired profit is $28 per unit. Determine the markup percentage using the (a) total cost, (b) product cost, and (c) variable cost methods. Round your answers to one decimal place. a. Total cost fill in the blank 1 % b. Product cost fill in the blank 2 % c. Variable cost fill in the blank 3 %

Answers

Answer: and Explanation:

The computation of the markup percentage using the following cost is shown below:

a. Total cost

= Desired profit ÷ total cost

= $28 ÷ $89

= 31.46%

b. Under product cost

= Desired profit ÷ (total cost - seling & admin cost)

= ($28) ÷ ($89 - $14)

= 37.33%

c. Under variable cost

= Desired profit ÷ variable cost

= $28 ÷ $58

= 48.28%

11) Domergue Corp. currently has an EPS of $3.76, and the benchmark PE for the company is 21. Earnings are expected to grow at 5.1 percent per year. (4 pts.) a) What is your estimate of the current stock price? b) What is the target stock price in one year? c) Assuming the company pays no dividends, what is the implied return on the company’s stock over the next year?

Answers

Answer:

(a) 78.96

(b) 82.99

(c) 5.10

Explanation:

The current stock price can be calculated as follows

= 3.76 × 21

= 78.96

The target stock price in one year can be calculated as follows

= 3.76(1+5.1%)×21

= 3.76×(1+0.051)×21

= 3.76×1.051×21

= 82.99

The implied return on company's stock over one year can be calculated as follows

= 82.99-78.96/78.96

= 4.03/78.96

= 0.0510× 100

= 5.10
