Answer:
$20.52
Explanation:
Given that
Estimated dividends for next period = $3.90
Required rate of return = 25%
Growth rate = 6%
The computation of Price of stock is given below:-
Price of stock = Estimated dividends for next period ÷ (Required rate of return - Growth rate)
= $3.90 ÷ (0.25 - 0.06)
= $3.90 ÷ 0.19
= $20.52
Therefore for computing the price of stock we simply applied the above formula.
Suppose that Tan Lines' common shares sell for $20 per share, are expected to set their next annual dividend at $1.00 per share, and that all future dividends are expected to grow by 5 percent per year, indefinitely. If Tan Lines faces a flotation cost of 10 percent on new equity issues, what will be the flotation-adjusted cost of equity
Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.6%
Explanation:
According to the dividend valuation, the value of a stock is the present value of expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
The model can me modified to determined the cost of equity having flotation cost as follows:
Cost of equity = D(1+r )/P(1-f) + g
d- dividend, p- price of stock , f - flotation cost , - g- growth rate in dividend
D-1.00, p - 20, f- 10%, g- 5%
Applying this to the question;
cost of equity - 1.00/(20×(1-0.1) )+ 0.05
= 10.6%
Cost of equity = 10.6%
Final answer:
The flotation-adjusted cost of equity for Tan Lines can be approximated by adding the flotation cost percentage to the cost of equity calculated using the Dividend Discount Model. For Tan Lines, this results in an approximate cost of equity of 11% when considering the 10% flotation cost.
Explanation:
The student is asking about the flotation-adjusted cost of equity for a company's common shares. To calculate this, we need to use the Dividend Discount Model (DDM), which requires the next expected dividend, the growth rate of the dividends, and the required rate of return for equity investors. However, because the company faces a flotation cost, we must adjust the cost of equity to account for this.
The formula for the cost of equity without flotation costs is:
Cost of equity = (Next annual dividend / Current price per share) + Growth rate. In this case, it would be ($1.00 / $20) + 5%, resulting in a cost of equity of 10%.
To adjust for the 10% flotation cost, we must aim for a total return that compensates for both the required rate of return and the flotation cost. Since the flotation cost reduces the amount of funds received from issuing new shares, the company must earn a higher return to satisfy investors' required rate of return.
An approximate way to adjust for flotation costs is to increase the original cost of equity by the percentage of the flotation cost. In this case, that would be 10% of the cost of equity without flotation costs. Therefore, the flotation-adjusted cost of equity would be approximately 10% higher than the original 10%, making it about 11%.

It costs Lil Beasty Company $17 of variable costs and $3 of fixed costs to produce its product. The company currently has unused capacity. The product sells for $25. Loner Industries offers to purchase 5,000 units at $19 each. In the deal, Lil Beasty will incur special shipping costs of $1.50 per unit. If the special offer is accepted and produced with unused capacity, net income will:
Answer:
$2,500 Increase
Explanation:
Lil Beasty Company
Variable cost per unit ($17 + $1.50) $18.50
Income per unit ($19 – $18.50) $0.50
The total increase in net income ($.50 X 5,000 units) $2,500
Therefore we have increase $2,500 meaning If the offer is accepted with unused capacity, net income will increase by $2,500. The variable cost per unit will be $18.50 ($17 + $1.50); the income per unit is $.50 ($19 – $18.50); and the total increase in net income will be $2,500 ($.50 X 5,000 units)
On January 1, Year 1, Abbott Company granted 92,000 stock options to certain executives. The options are exercisable no sooner than December 31, Year 3, and expire on January 1, Year 7. Each option can be exercised to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $14. An option-pricing model estimates the fair value of the options to be $5 on the date of grant. What is the amount of compensation expense for Year 1? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
Answer:
$153,333
Explanation:
The computation of the compensation expense for the year 1 is shown below:
= (Number of Stock options granted × fair value of the options) ÷ (number of years)
= (92,000 stock options × $5) ÷ 3 years
= $460,000 ÷ 3 years
= $153,333
By applying the above formula we can get the compensation expense for the year 1

The year-end 2018 balance sheet of Brandex Inc. listed common stock and other paid-in capital at $1,400,000 and retained earnings at $3,700,000. The next year, retained earnings were listed at $4,000,000. The firm’s net income in 2019 was $930,000. There were no stock repurchases during the year. What were the dividends paid by the firm in 2019?
Answer:
The firm paid $630000 dividends in 2019
Explanation:
Retained earnings is the amount of net income that is not distributed to stockholders and is ploughed back into the business. It is a capital reserve account and appears in the equity section of the Balance Sheet. To determine the amount of Dividends, we will trace the change in Retained earnings and deduct the increase in retained earnings amount from the Net Income to arrive at dividends for the year.
Increase in Retained earnings = 4000000 - 3700000 = $300000
Thus, out of the Net Income of $930000 earned in 2019, $300000 was transferred to retained earnings. The remaining was paid as dividends.
The dividends in 2019 are = 930000 - 300000 = $630000

Prestopino's cash on the balance sheet at the end of the current year must be lower than the cash it had on the balance sheet at the previous year. b. Prestopino had negative net income in the current year. c. Prestopino had positive net income in the current year, but its income was less than its previous year's income. d. Prestopino's cash flow provided by operations in the current year must be higher than in the previous year. e. Prestopino's depreciation expense in the current year was less than $150,000.
Answer:
b. Prestopino had negative net income in the current year
Explanation:
Retained earnings at the end of previous year were $700,000, but retained earnings at the end of current year had declined to $320,000.
• The company does not pay dividends.
• The company's depreciation expense is its only non-cash expense; it has no amortization charges.
• The company has no non-cash revenues.
• The company's net cash flow (NCF) for current year was $150,000.
On the basis of this information, which of the following statements is CORRECT? Prestopino had negative net income in the current year
Prestopino DECPRECIATION expense in the current year was less than $150,000 and Prestopino had postive net income in the currnet year however, this income was less than it was in the previous year income.
Prestopino NCF in the current year must be higher than its NCF in the previous year and it cash on the balance at the end of the year must be lower than the cash it had on the balance sheet at the end of previous year
As a separate matter from the special order, assume the company’s inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for these units?
Answer:
variable selling and administrative costs
Explanation:
There are 10,000 units left which the company may choose to ignore directly or try to sell them at very discounted prices. In order to establish a minimum price, you must consider that any construction costs are sinking and that the selling price should include at least administrative and selling costs. Manufacturing costs are considered a loss for accounting purposes, so the company must decide whether to sell them directly or ignore them directly (or donate them, depending on the type).The relevant unit cost for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units is the average cost per unit, which is $26.
Explanation:
The relevant unit cost for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units is the average cost per unit.
In the given information, it states that the firm is making losses when producing five units at an average cost of $26 per unit and a price of $25 per unit. This means that for each unit produced, the firm is losing $1. Therefore, the average cost of $26 per unit is the relevant unit cost that should be taken into account when establishing a minimum selling price for these units.

What is the par per share after the split
Answer:
No journal is needed
Par value is now $1
Explanation:
There is journal entry for stock split no new funds were received from stockholders and the fact that the equity stockholders capital remain the same after the stock split.
It is a mere book redenomination where the number of outstanding shares in issue is increased while the par value is reduced proportionally.
In essence a stock split of 2 for 1 means one share is added to existing one and the two shares are now priced at the value of one previously
The par value after stock split=1/2*$2=$1

Given the following information, what is the present value of the total amount that Brooke needs to have saved at the beginning of her son's first year of college?
Current tuition: $15,000
Tuition inflation: 6.5%
Brooke's investment return: 10%
a. $29,202
b. $39,010
c. $34,090
d. $31,959
Answer:
The present value of the total amount that Brooke needs to have saved at the beginning of her son's first year of college is 31.959,13
Explanation:
Tuition Fees after inflation at
Year 18 = 15000* ( 1+6.5%)18 = 46599.8157
Year 19 = 15000* ( 1+6.5%)19 = 49628.8037
Year 20 = 15000* ( 1+6.5%)20 = 52854.6759
Year 21 = 15000* ( 1+6.5%)21 = 56290.2299
Since discount rate = 10%
So discount factor = 1+r = 1+10% = 1.1
Since fees are paid at beginning of period hence
Present Value of Fees = Fees (year 18)/1.1^18 +Fees at Year 19/1.1^19 +Fees at Year 20/1.1^20 + Fees at year 21/1.1^21 = 46599.8157/1.1^18 + 49628.8037/1.1^19 + 52854.6759/1,1^20 + 56290.2299^21 = 31959
Since the 2008 global financial crisis, the B/L ("bill of lading") of container shipments from Asian factories to the United States (US) has increasingly specified US gateway ports, rather than the local RDCs (regional distribution centers) of final markets, as the stopping points (as opposed to through points). What are the main reasons behind this development, and why?
Answer:
BOL can be viewed as the authoritative record that is being given to a shipment organization by the transporter that incorporates the different insights regarding the item. The fundamental purpose behind the BOL to be gathered at the entryway ports is that these BOL are gotten at the port first as this is where the items are gotten in the nation and from that point these items are sent to inland RDCs. The items need to pay the traditions obligations and pass the various customs.

Justin's Electronics, Inc., in Nashville, produces short runs of custom airwave scanners for the defense industry. You have been asked by the owner, Janet, to reduce inventory by introducing a kanban system. After several hours of analysis, you develop the following data for scanner connectors used in one work cell. How many kanbans do you need for this connector? Daily demand 1,977 units Lead time 6 days Safety stock (in days of demand) 1.5 days Kanban size 328 units
Answer:
45
Explanation:
Number of Kanbans = demand during lead time + safety stock÷ size of container
Number of Kanbans = [(1977 * 6) + 1.5 * 1977] / 328
=(11,862)+(2,965.5)/328
Number of Kanbans
=14,827.5/328
= 45
Therefore we would need 45 kanbans for this connector.

Journal entry
Dr Cash 56.1
Cr Premium on bonds payable 1.1
Cr Convertible bonds payable 55.0
GAAP requires that the entire issue price of convertible bonds be recorded as debt, precisely the same way, as for nonconvertible bonds.
Therefore:
Cash (102% × $55 million) = $56.1 million
Final answer:
Hoffman Corporation records the issuance of $55 million of bonds at a 102% premium by debiting Cash for $56.1 million, and crediting Bonds Payable for $55 million and Premium on Bonds Payable for $1.1 million. This records the inflow of cash and the bond liability including the premium.
Explanation:
When Hoffman Corporation issues $55 million worth of 8%, 10-year bonds at 102, the company is borrowing money from bondholders and, in exchange, agreeing to pay interest as well as the principal amount after a set duration. Since the bonds are issued at a premium (102% of the face value), this means that for every $1,000 face value bond, the company receives $1,020. Therefore, the total cash received from the bond issuance is $56.1 million (which is $55 million x 102%).
The journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds would be:
Debit Cash $56.1 millionCredit Bonds Payable $55 millionCredit Premium on Bonds Payable $1.1 millionThis entry reflects the inflow of cash, the liability created by the bonds payable, and the additional premium accounts due to selling the bonds above their face value. The premium is essentially an additional amount that the company will amortize over the life of the bonds.

An assumed interest rate of 11% is imputed. Prepare an amortization schedule. Assume that the effective-interest method is used for amortization purposes.
Answer:
Loan Amortization Table is attached with this answer, please find it
Explanation:
First of all we calculate the Loan Payment per period
Loan Payment per year = r ( PV ) / 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n
Loan Payment per year = 0.11 ( (102,049 - 40,000 ) / 1 - ( 1 + 0.11 )^-4
Loan Payment per year = $6,825.39 / 0.341269 = 20,000 per year

This year Amy purchased $3,500 of equipment for use in her business. However, the machine was damaged in a traffic accident while Amy was transporting the equipment to her business. Note that because Amy did not place the equipment into service during the year, she does not claim any depreciation or cost recovery expense for the equipment.
A. After the accident, Amy had the choice of repairing the equipment for $2,140 or selling the equipment to a junk shop for $395. Amy sold the equipment. What amount can Amy deduct for the loss of the equipment?
B. After the accident, Amy repaired the equipment for $4,010. What amount can Amy deduct for the loss of the equipment?
C. After the accident, Amy could not replace the equipment so she had the equipment repaired for $3,200. What amount can Amy deduct for the loss of the equipment?
Answer:
A. $3105
B. $3,500
C. $3,200
Explanation:
A casualty loss is damage, destruction, or loss of property due to an event that is sudden, unexpected, or unusual such as fires, floods, accidents etc.
A. Amy can claim a casualty deduction since the machine was damaged in a traffic accident. Therefore : $3500 - $395 = $3105. Amy can deduct $3105 for the loss of the equipment.
B. Amy can claim a casualty loss deduction for the lesser of the economic loss (the cost of repair) or the tax basis of the machine. Therefore, Amy can deduct $3,500.
C. Amy can claim a casualty loss deduction for the lesser of the economic loss (the cost of repair) or the tax basis of the machine. Therefore, Amy can deduct $3,200.
A. Amy can deduct $3,105 for the loss of the equipment. B. Amy cannot deduct any amount for the loss of the equipment since she repaired it. C. Amy can deduct $295 for the loss of the equipment.
A. When Amy decides to sell the damaged equipment to a junk shop, she realizes a loss on the equipment. The amount of the loss is calculated by subtracting the amount received from the sale of the damaged equipment from the cost of the equipment. Amy purchased the equipment for $3,500 and sold it for $395 after it was damaged. Therefore, the loss Amy can deduct is calculated as follows:
Loss = Cost of Equipment - Proceeds from Sale
Loss = $3,500 - $395
Loss = $3,105
So, Amy can deduct $3,105 for the loss of the equipment.
B. If Amy chooses to repair the equipment, the cost of repairs does not result in a loss that can be deducted. Instead, the cost of repairs would generally be added to the basis of the equipment and depreciated over its useful life. Since Amy did not place the equipment into service during the year, she cannot claim any depreciation or cost recovery expense for the equipment, and thus, she cannot deduct any amount for the loss of the equipment.
C. When Amy has the equipment repaired for an amount less than the original cost, she can deduct the difference between the cost of the equipment and the cost of repairs as a loss. Amy purchased the equipment for $3,500 and repaired it for $3,200. The loss Amy can deduct is calculated as follows:
Loss = Cost of Equipment - Cost of Repairs
Loss = $3,500 - $3,200
Loss = $300
However, Amy also received $395 from selling the damaged equipment before repairing it. This amount needs to be subtracted from the loss to determine the deductible loss:
Deductible Loss = Loss - Proceeds from Sale
Deductible Loss = $300 - $395
Deductible Loss = -$295 (which is a negative number, indicating a deductible loss)
Therefore, Amy can deduct $295 for the loss of the equipment. Note that the negative sign indicates a deductible loss, not a negative loss, so the amount to be deducted is $295.

What is the price elasticity of demandLOADING... between these prices using the midpoint formulaLOADING...? The price elasticity of demand using the midpoint formula is nothing. (Enter your response as a real number rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
The Price elasticity of demand is -0.63
Explanation:
From the question,
Q1=64
Q2=59
P1=3.60
P2=4.10
%Change in Quantity = Q2-Q1 X 100 / [(Q2+Q1) / 2]
=59-64 X 100 / [(59+64) / 2]
=-5 / [123/2] X 100
=-5/61.5 X 100
=-500/61.5
=-8.13%
%Change in Price= P2-P1 X 100 / [(P2+P1) / 2]
=4.10-3.60 X 100 / [(4.10+3.60) / 2]
=0.50/ [7.7/2] X 100
=0.50/3.85 X 100
=50/3.85
=12.987%
Therefore Price elasticity of demand = -8.13/ 12.99
=-0.625
=-0.63
Final answer:
The price elasticity of demand for the breakfast cereal, calculated using the midpoint formula, is approximately -0.63, which suggests that the demand is inelastic.
Explanation:
To calculate the price elasticity of demand for the breakfast cereal using the midpoint formula, we'll need to follow these steps:
In this case, the initial price is $3.60 with a demand of 64 thousand boxes, and the new price is $4.10 with a demand of 59 thousand boxes.
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is approximately -0.63.

Nation A makes is illegal for its citizens to own more than one vehicle in order to reduce emissions. Nation A’s neighbor Nation B disagrees with the decision and refuses to enforce it in its own borders but refrains from contesting the decision in court. Which principle of International Law is at play?
Answer: Act of State Doctrine
Explanation: The Act of State Doctrine is a principle of International law that prevents courts from questioning the validity of a foreign country's sovereign acts that take place within its own territory and that courts should not decide cases that would interfere with their country's foreign policy. It then follows that every sovereign state is bound to respect the independence of other sovereign states. Nation B therefore cannot meddle with Nation A’s decision under the Act of State Doctrine.
Reggie owns and operates a cheese shop in the village of Somerset. Although Reggie has a degree in mechanical engineering and could easily go to work for his brother's company earning $ 76000 a year, his true passion is for cheese. Consider the list of Reggie's revenue and expenses from last year. Please use the information provided to answer the questions. Revenue from 2010 $ 90000 Rent $ 18000 Equipment $ 6000 Supplies $ 3000
Reggie's profit from operating the cheese shop was $63000. However, considering opportunity cost, he forgoes a potential $76000 salary he could have earned, hence losing out on that income.
Explanation:First, let's calculate Reggie's total cost for running his business. His expenses include rent ($18000), equipment ($6000), and supplies ($3000). This gives us a total of $27000.
Revenue from his business totaled $90000. To find his 'profit', we then subtract the total cost from the revenue. This gives us $90000 - $27000 = $63000. This means his profit from operating the cheese shop was $63000 last year.
However, when we consider opportunity cost, Reggie has forgone a salary of $76000 he could have earned if he had chosen to work for his brother's company. So, in essence, he is losing out on potential income by operating the cheese shop.

Mary purchased a 10-year par value bond with semiannual coupons at a nominal annual rate of 4% convertible semiannually at a price of 1021.50. The bond can be called at par value 1100 on any coupon date starting at the end of year 5. What is the minimum yield that Mary could receive, expressed as a nominal annual rate of interest convertible semiannually?
To find Mary's minimum yield on a 10-year par value bond with 4% semiannual coupons, we must evaluate both the yield to maturity and the yield to call. The minimum yield is the lower of the two, and it requires solving for the internal rate of return that equates cash flows to the purchase price, adjusting for whether the bond is called or held to maturity.
Explanation:Mary purchased a 10-year par value bond with semiannual coupons at a nominal annual rate of 4% convertible semiannually at a price of 1021.50. The bond may be called starting at the end of year 5 for a par value of 1100. To determine the minimum yield Mary could receive, expressed as a nominal annual rate of interest convertible semiannually, we would need to consider two scenarios: if the bond is held to maturity and if the bond is called at the earliest date possible.
For holding to maturity at 10 years, we calculate the yield based on the purchase price, semiannual interest payments, and face value redemption. But for an early call at 5 years, we calculate based on receiving par value at the call date plus interest payments up to that point. The minimum yield would be the lower of the two calculated yields since the company could decide to call the bond early if interest rates decline, meaning the yield to call could potentially become the realized yield.
Calculating the yield involves finding the internal rate of return (IRR) that equates the present value of expected cash flows from the bond (interest payments plus principal repaid) to the purchase price. This calculation requires a financial calculator or software capable of solving for IRR. The yield to maturity might differ from the yield to call, with the latter being relevant if the bond is repurchased by the issuer at the call date. The yield to call calculation must account for the bond being redeemed at 1100 instead of the face value, and thus yields a different return than holding until maturity.
