HighGrowth Company has a stock price of $ 23. The firm will pay a dividend next year of $ 1.19​, and its dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 3.7 % per year thereafter. What is your estimate of​ HighGrowth's cost of equity​ capital? The required return​ (cost of​ capital) of levered equity is nothing​%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of equity = 8.87%

Explanation:

Given that,

Stock price = $23

Firm will pay a dividend next year = $1.19

Dividend is expected to grow at a rate = 3.7 % per year thereafter

cost of equity = (Dividend next year ÷ Stock price) ÷ Dividend growth rate

cost of equity = ($1.19 ÷ $23) + 3.7%

cost of equity = 5.17% + 3.7%

cost of equity = 8.87%

Answer 2

Final answer:

To estimate HighGrowth's cost of equity capital, you can use the Dividend Discount Model. Given a stock price of $23, a dividend of $1.19 next year, and a growth rate of 3.7%, the estimated cost of equity would be approximately 8.87%.

Explanation:

The student is asking how to estimate the cost of equity capital for HighGrowth Company using the dividend discount model (DDM).

According to the DDM, if a company is expected to pay a dividend of $1.19 next year and that dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 3.7% per year, with the current stock price at $23, the cost of equity can be estimated using the formula:

Cost of Equity = (Dividend_Year1/Current Stock Price) + Growth Rate

In this case:

Cost of Equity = ($1.19 / $23) + 3.7%

Calculating this, we would have:

Cost of Equity = 0.0517 + 0.037 = 0.0887 or 8.87%

Therefore, your estimate of HighGrowth's cost of equity capital would be approximately 8.87%.

Prior to 1914, Argentina experienced around fifty years of economic growth. During that time, Argentina was ruled by a small amount of elite that was invested in agricultural exports. Thus, the economy grew by exporting beef and grain during a worldwide economic boom surrounding these commodities. The broadening of the political landscape following WWI and subsequent repeated military coups changed the leaders, but made the economic landscape increasingly unstable.

This period of growth is a classic example of economic growth under what system?

a. Rule by Law
b. Extractive institutions
c. The vicious circle
d. Inclusive Institutions

Answers

Answer: Option (B)

Explanation:

Omicron Technologies has $50 million in excess cash and no debt. The firm expects to generate additional free cash flows of $40 million per year in subsequent years and will pay out these future free cash flows as regular dividends. Omicron's unlevered cost of capital is 8% and there are 10 million shares outstanding. Omicron's board is meeting to decide whether to pay out its $50 million in excess cash as a special dividend or to use it to repurchase shares of the firm's stock. Assume that Omicron uses the entire $50 million in excess cash to pay a special dividend. The amount of the regular yearly dividends in the future is closest to ________.

Answers

Answer:

$4 per share

Explanation:

The formula to compute the regular yearly dividends in the future is shown below:

= Free cash flow ÷ outstanding shares

= $40 million ÷ 10 million shares

= $4 per share

It shows a relationship between the free cash flow and the outstanding shares

ABC Manufacturing produces a product that includes four tasks: cutting, drilling, sanding and painting. The production supervisor wants to know the cost of each task for this months production run of 1,000 units. She has identified several costs that must be allocated to these tasks including: $50,000 of depreciation on manufacturing equipment, $40,000 of utilities, $30,000 of rent and $2,000 of supplies. She has chosen to distribute all these costs to the four tasks based on machine hours. Cutting these 1,000 units required 900 hours, drilling them required 300 hours, sanding 800 hours and painting 400 hours. What is the weight of base?

Answers

Answer:

2400

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost allocated to Depreciation on manufacturing equipment = $50,000

Cost allocated to Utilities = $40,000

Cost allocated to Rent = $30,000

Cost allocated to supplies = $2,000

Required machine hours for cutting = 900

Required machine hours for drilling = 300

Required machine hours for sanding = 800

Required machine hours for painting = 400

Now,

Since the distribution is based on the machine hours

Therefore,

Weight of base = Total machine hours required

= 900 + 300 + 800 + 400

= 2400

You are a consulting firm intern and your job is to help a client choose investment projects. Your client, RealEstate, is a young and growing commercial and residential real estate firm. After reading through all the related information of those projects, you have compiled the following cash flow projections:

Col1 CF0 CF1 CF2 CF3
Col2 project 1 100 50 50 50
Col3 project 2 -80 40 45 50
Col4 project 3 -70 30 40 50
Col5 project 4 -60 30 40 60
Col6 project 5 -50 25 30 70

CF0 denotes the initial investment. CF1 is the cash flow at the end of the first year. CF2 is the cash flow at the end of the second year, and so on. The units are millions of dollars.

If RealEstate accepts projects with payback periods of 2 years or less, which project should you reject?

(a)Project 1
(b)Project 2
(c)Project 3
(d)Project 4
(e)Project 5
(f)None

Answers

Answer:

(f)None

Explanation:

Pay back period is the no of years in which cost of investment is recovered in the form of cash flow.

Project with cash back period of two years is acceptable .

Project 1

initial outlay of fund = 100 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 50+50 = 100 million dollar

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

Project 2

initial outlay of fund = 80 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 40+45 = 95

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

Project 3

initial outlay of fund = 70 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 30+40 = 70

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

Project 4

initial outlay of fund = 60 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 30+40 = 70

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

Project 5

initial outlay of fund = 50 million dollar

cash flow in first two years = 30+25 = 55

so it is acceptable because it recovers the project cost in first two years .

So none will be rejected

Final answer:

Based on the criterion of a two-year payback period, Project 5 should be rejected as it fails to provide a full recovery of the initial investment within this timeframe.

Explanation:

You have asked which investment project RealEstate should reject, if it accepts projects with payback periods of 2 years or less. To evaluate this, we need to calculate the payback period for each project. The payback period is the amount of time it takes for the initial investment to be recovered from the cash flows of the project.

Project 1 has an initial cost of 100 million dollars and provides cash flows of 50 million dollars each year. It takes two years to recover the initial investment, so it meets the criteria.Project 2 starts with a cost of 80 million dollars and generates 40 million dollars in the first year and 45 million dollars in the second year. By the end of the second year, the cumulative cash flow is 85 million dollars, so the initial investment is recovered in less than two years.Project 3 has an upfront cost of 70 million dollars with cash flows of 30 million dollars and 40 million dollars in the first and second years, respectively. The total cash flow after two years is only 70 million dollars, which just breaks even with the initial cost and thus, meets the requirements precisely.Project 4 starts with a cost of 60 million dollars with returns of 30 million dollars in the first year and 40 million dollars in the second. The payback period is less than two years as the cumulative cash flow by the end of the second year is 70 million dollars.Project 5 requires an initial outlay of 50 million dollars and yields 25 million dollars in the first year and 30 million dollars in the second year. With only 55 million dollars of cumulative cash flow after two years, the payback period exceeds two years. Therefore, this project should be rejected.

Considering the payback period criterion set by RealEstate, Project 5 should be rejected as it does not provide a full recovery of the initial investment within the two-year period.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The expected sales for next year for the Beresford Company is 150,000 units. Curt Planters, manager of the Beresford Division, is under pressure to improve the performance of the Division. As he plans for next year, he has to decide whether to produce 150,000 units or 170,000 units.

In order to improve its performance based on more production, the company must use an absorption cost method. Absorption cost includes the fixed manufacture cost in the unit product cost. Therefore, by producing more units, the fixed costs spread on more units, decreasing the cost of units sold and increasing gross profit. The fixed costs of the period remain on inventory.

He should produce 180,000 units under absorption cost method.

Dr Cash $2,500

Cr Accounts receivable $2,500

B. Dr Bad debt expense $27,500

Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts $27,500

Explanation:

A1. To record the sale on account we will debit accounts receivable as our collectible to customer and credit sales in the amount of $180,000

A2. To record the collection, we will recognize the receipt of cash so we have to debit cash and credit accounts receivable to deduct the collectible balance in the amount of $125,000

A3. When the company receives returns from the customers, it will be charged to sales returns and allowances account so we have to debit it and credit accounts receivables in the amount of $20,000 to deduct collectibles to suppliers. Said, sales returns and allowances account is a contra account of sales. Thus, any amount recorded under it will be charged against (deduction) our sales.

A4. During the write off, we will debit allowance for doubtful accounts and credit accounts receivables to reduce its amount from the worthless receivables that is deemed to be uncollectible.

A5. Collection of previously written off receivables will resort to 2 entries. First, reversal of the original entry we made during the write off. So we debit Accounts receivable and credit allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $2,500. Next is to record the cash we received from the customer. So debit cash and credit accounts receivable in the same amount of $2,500.

B. To record the bad debt expense, we need to compute first the ending balance of the accounts receivable.

Beg $275,000 plus sales on account of $180,000 less collection $125,000, sales return of $20,000 and write off $35,000 = $275,000.

Bad debts is 10% of the Accounts receivable, so $275,000 x 10% = $27,500

Entry:

Dr bad debt expense $27,500

Cr allowance for doubtful accounts $27,500

social security payments = $6,000

interest on State of Iowa bonds = $1,000

to find out

Rhonda's adjusted gross income

solution

we get here Rhonda's adjusted gross income that is express as

adjusted gross income =  Taxable pension + Social security    ....................1

here we know If income is between $25,000 and $34,000 than there is up to 50 % of your benefits may be subject to tax

so here Social security = 50% × $6,000  = $3000

so total adjusted gross income will be

Rhonda's adjusted gross income = $30,000 + $3,000

Rhonda's adjusted gross income = $33,000

The stock of Top of the Muffin currently pays a dividend of $2.85. The dividend is expected to grow by 30% per year for the next three years. In year 4 it will increase by $2.40 over the previous year, and after that point it will grow at 2% per year for the foreseeable future. If you require an 10.8% return for investing in this stock, what is a share of the stock worth to you today?

Answers

Answer:

Consider the following calculation

Explanation:

Year 1 dividend = 2.85 (1 + 30%) = 3.705

Year 2 dividend = 3.705 (1 + 30%) = 4.8165

Year 3 dividend = 4.8165 (1 + 30%) = 6.26145

Year 4 dividend = 6.26145 + 2.4 = 8.66145

Year 5 dividend = 8.66145 (1 + 2%) = 8.834679

Value at year 4 = D5 / required rate - growth rate

Value at year 4 = 8.834679 / 0.108 - 0.02

Value at year 4 = 8.834679 / 0.088

Value at year 4 = 100.39408

Share price = Present value of cash inflows

Share price = 3.705 / (1 + 0.108)1 + 4.8165 / (1 + 0.108)2 + 6.26145 / (1 + 0.108)3 + 8.66145 / (1 + 0.108)4 + 100.39408 / (1 + 0.108)4

Share price = $84.23

In a status report, executives want to know not only where we are today, but also where we will end up. Calculating where we will end up financially is not as easy as it sounds. Selecting the wrong formula can leave the executives and customers with a faulty impression. There are several formulas available for the calculation of the estimated cost at completion (EAC). For simplicity, consider the following three formulas:

EAC = (ACWP/BCWP) x (budget at completion)
EAC = ((ACWP/BCWP) x (BCWS for work completed and in progress)) +
(planned or revised planned costs of work packages not yet begun)
EAC = (actual to date) + (all remaining work, including work in progress,
to be completed at the planned or budgeted costs)

a. Using the table below, determine the value of EAC for each of the three formulas. Assume that A, B, and C are the only work packages in the project, and BCWS(Total) is the total value for PV for each work package rather than PV for the reporting period. Use the following formula for calculating EV:
EV = (% Complete) x BCWS(Total)

Answer:

Return will be 1.3 % lower

Explanation:

We have given that you have a $109000 portfolio which contain 10 stocks

So number of stocks = 10

Number of times traded each stock = 5

Commission and spread pay = $30

So total expenditure = number of stocks ×  number of times × commission and spread per trade = 10×5×30 = $1500

So in percentage [tex]=\frac{1500}{109000}=0.013=1.3[/tex] %

Suppose a firm has an annual budget of $150,000 in wages and salaries, $75,000 in materials, $30,000 in new equipment, $20,000 in rented property, and $35,000 in interest costs on capital. The owner-manager does not choose to pay himself, but he could receive income of $90,000 by working elsewhere. The firm earns revenues of $320,000 per year. What are the annual accounting costs for the firm described above?

Answers

Answer:

The annual explicit costs for the firm is $310,000.

Explanation:

Explicit cost refers to the cost of the resources purchased by firm from outsiders.

Calculate the annual explicit cost -

Annual explicit cost = Wages and salaries + Materials + New equipment + rented property + interest cost on capital

Annual explicit cost = $150,000 + $75,000 + $30,000 + $20,000 + $35,000

Annual explicit cost = $310,000

Thus,

The annual explicit costs for the firm is $310,000.

During a Sprint, the features are broken down into smaller elements and put on theSprint Backlog. Which one of the following statements best describes these smallerelements?

a. Activities estimated in duration scrum
b. Tasks estimated in hours (effort)
c. Tasks estimated in duration
d. Activities estimated in hours (effort)

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Tasks estimated in hours (effort).

Explanation:

Sprint Planning meeting is the first Scrum event where tasks are planned for the ongoing Sprint. In this Sprint, the Scrum master, product owner, and the development team participate to share ideas. The tasks are broken down into small duties that the development team members can select. Those tasks are estimated in hours, being the total amount of hours the total work.

Final answer:

The smaller elements on the Sprint Backlog during a Sprint in Scrum methodology are tasks estimated in hours (effort), which are essential for realistic sprint planning and effective time management. The correct answer is: b. Tasks estimated in hours (effort).

Explanation:

During a Sprint, the smaller elements that features are broken down into are described as tasks estimated in hours (effort). In the context of Scrum, once functions are selected and refined for a Sprint, they are detailed and explained for implementation. The work time for these tasks is estimated, informing how many functions can be included in the sprint which typically lasts two to four weeks. This estimation process is crucial for successful sprint planning and requires the creation of a sprint log. As part of the sprint planning, the sprint backlog contains all the tasks to be implemented in the next stage, with the necessary technical descriptions to guide developers and team members.

The focus during sprint planning is on breaking down the work into manageable tasks and creating realistic time estimates based on effort in hours. This is essential to accommodate the selected functions within the sprint timeframe. This estimation enables effective time management and ensures that the team remains focused on delivering value while staying within the planned duration of the Sprint.

Bello, Inc., has a total debt ratio of .31.

a. What is its debt-equity ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

b. What is its equity multiplier? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Final answer:

The debt-equity ratio and equity multiplier can be calculated using the given debt ratio of Bello, Inc.

Explanation:

The debt ratio is a financial ratio that measures the proportion of a company's total assets that are financed by debt. It is calculated by dividing total debt by total assets. In this case, Bello, Inc. has a total debt ratio of 0.31.

To find the debt-equity ratio, we can subtract the debt ratio from 1. The debt-equity ratio is a measure of the proportion of a company's financing that comes from debt compared to equity. Therefore, the debt-equity ratio for Bello, Inc. is 1 - 0.31 = 0.69.

The equity multiplier is another measure of leverage and is calculated by dividing total assets by total equity. To find the equity multiplier for Bello, Inc., we can divide 1 by the debt ratio (1/0.31 = 3.23).

Answers

Answer:

Consider the following calculation

Explanation:

1. Determine the 2018 EPS.

EPS = Net Income / Weighted Average number of shares

Numerator

Net Income = $15,90

Denominator

Weighted Average number of shares = 2,20 – (24x10/12) + (24x2/12) + (96x1/12)

= 2,52 Shares

EPS 2018 = $15,90 / 2,52 Shares

= $6.31 per share

2. Determine the 2019 EPS.

Numerator

Net Income = $15,90

Denominator

Weighted Average number of shares

=[ 2,20 – 24 + 24 + 96 ] x 2 Stock Split

= 6,32 Shares

EPS 2019 = $15,90 / 6,32 Shares

= $2.52 per share

3. At what amount will the 2018 EPS be presented in the 2019 comparative financial statements?

Numerator

Net Income = $15,90

Denominator

Weighted Average number of shares

= 2,520 x 2 Stock split

= 5,04 Shares

EPS = $15,90 / 5,04

= $3.15 per share

E. managers after a project has been implemented to determine how each variable relates to the level of output realized.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": changing the value of a single variable and computing the resulting change in the current value of a project.

Explanation:

Sensitivity Analysis is used in financial modeling to determine how one variable (the target variable) may be affected by changes in another variable (the input variable). It is used to find out what variables affect a publicly-traded company's stock price. Input variables include the company's earnings, number of shares outstanding, debt to equity ratio, and the number of competitors in the industry.

Global Technology’s capital structure is as follows: Debt 35 % Preferred stock 15 Common equity 50 The aftertax cost of debt is 9.00 percent; the cost of preferred stock is 13.00 percent; and the cost of common equity (in the form of retained earnings) is 16.00 percent. Calculate the Global Technology’s weighted cost of each source of capital and the weighted average cost of capital. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

weighted average cost of capital  = 13.10%

Explanation:

given data

Debt = 35%

Preferred stock = 15

Common equity = 50

cost of debt = 9 percent

cost of preferred stock = 13 percent

cost of common equity = 16 percent

to find out

Weighted Average cost of capital

solution

we get here weighted cost of each source of capital  that is

Weighted Cost  of Debt  = 0.35 * 9%  =  3.15 %        ....................1

Weighted Cost  of Preferred Stock = 0.15 * 13% = 1.95%     .........2

Weighted Cost  of Common Stock = 0.50 * 16% = 8 %    ..............3

so

so weighted average cost of capital  will be

weighted average cost of capital  = 3.15 % + 1.95% + 8 %

weighted average cost of capital  = 13.10%

During the year Hsu Corporation sold some of its land, reducing the balance in the Land account at the end of the year to $1,500. Hsu also recognized a $700 gain on the sale of land on its current year income statement. What is the effect of this sale on the company's statement of cash flows assuming that Hsu Corporation made no land purchases during the year?

Answers

Answer:

the gain on disposal of $700 is deducted from the net profit in the segment of cash flows from operating activities.the cash received of $5,200 is recognized as a cash inflow in the segment of the cash flows from Investing activities

Explanation:

Cost of land held at the start of the year = $6,000

Closing balance = $1,500

Cost of land sold = $6,000 - $1,500

                            = $4,500

Gain on sale = $700

Therefore, amount received on disposal = $4,500 + $700

                                                                    = $5,200

Suppose you recently paid $1000 for a new 30-year bond issued by the telecommunications company, Verizon. The interest ("coupon") rate is 6 percent, and for the sake of simplicity, let’s assume that the $60 is paid once a year at the end of the year. Given the 6 percent interest rate, the present value of the bond's face value of $1000 paid thirty years from now is approximately $175. What is the present value of the stream of thirty, annual $60 payments? You can calculate the answer or use a shortcut.

$1,000
$825
$700
$350
$140

Answers

Answer:

$825

Explanation:

The computation of the present value of the stream of thirty is shown below:

= Face value of the bond - Present value of maturity value after 30 years

= $1,000 - $175

= $825

Simply we deduct the present value of maturity value after 30 years from the face value of the bond so that the correct amount can come

Answers

Answer:

B. 2,274

Explanation:

The operating cash flow is shown below:

= EBIT + Depreciation - Income tax expense

where,  

EBIT = Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense  

= $5,436 - $2,245 - $448

= $2,743

Income tax expense would be

= (Sales - cost of good sold - depreciation expense  - interest expense) × tax rate

= ($5,436 - $2,245 - $448 - $123) × 35%

= $917

And all other items would remain same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $2,743 + $448 - $917

= $2,274

2. What is the social cost, in euros, of a liter of gasoline?

Cost Euros
Cost of imported oil................................................ 0.5
Cost of refining oil to gasoline............................... 1
Cost of distributing and selling gasoline............... 0.75
Government tax....................................................... 2.5
Cost of pollution from one liter of gasoline........... 2

Answers

Answer:

1. 4.75

2. 4.25

Explanation:

1. Private cost is a supplier's or producer's cost of providing goods and services without any external cost.

Private cost:

= Cost of imported oil + Cost of refining oil to gasoline + Cost of distributing and selling gasoline + Government tax

= 0.50 + 1 + 0.75 + 2.50

= 4.75

2. Social cost is private cost plus external cost.

Social cost:

= Cost of imported oil + Cost of refining oil to gasoline + Cost of distributing and selling gasoline + Cost of pollution from one liter of gasoline

= 0.5 + 1 + 0.75 + 2

= 4.25
