NCH Corporation, which markets cleaning chemicals, insecticides and other products, paid dividends of $2.00 per share in 1993 on

earnings of $4.00 per share. The book value of equity per share was $40.00, and earnings are expected to grow 6% a year in the long term. The stock has a beta of 0.85, and sells for $60 per share. (The treasury bond rate is 7%.). How much would the return on equity have to increase to justify the price/book value ratio at which NCH sells for currently?

Answer:

The reutrn on equity should be of 9.53%

Explanation:

We can solve the return on equity by considering the gordon model of dividend growth:

\frac{divends_1}{return_{equity}-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

current dividends 2 dollars

next year dividends: current x (1 + g) = 2 x (1 + 0.06) = 2.12

\frac{2.12}{return_{equity}-0.06} = 60

\frac{2.12}{60} +0.06= Ke

Ke = 0.09533 = 9.53%

Fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract. This year, he began receiving a $1,300 month
marusya05 [52]

Answer: $1091.61

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that fifteen years ago, Mr. Fairhold paid $50,000 for a single-premium annuity contract and that this year, he began receiving a $1,300 monthly payment that will continue for his life and based on his age, he can expect to receive $312,000. The amount of each monthly payment is taxable income to Mr. Fairhold goes thus:

Based on the question, Mr Fairhold will have a tax free return of the $50,000 paid. The exclusion ratio will be the investment divided by the expected return. This will be:

= $50,000/$312,000

= 0.1603

Since he received monthly payment of $1,300 and exclusion ratio is 0.1603, the tax free return on investment will be:

= $1,300 × 0.1603

= $208.39

Taxable annuity payment will now be:

= $1300 - $208.39

= $1091.61

A flexible budget for 15,000 hours revealed variable manufacturing overhead of $90,000 and fixed manufacturing overhead of $120,
Ket [755]

Answer:

B. $270,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the total overhead cost is shown below:

But before that first we have to find out the variable overhead per hour which is

= $90,000 ÷ 15,000

= $6 per hour

Now

Variable overhead for 25,000 hours is

= $6 per hour × 25,000

= $150,000

So,

Total overhead cost is  

= Variable overhead for 25,000 hours + Fixed overhead cost

= $150,000 + $120,000

= $270,000

hence, the correct option is B. $270,000

It is reasonable to state that one object has twice as much of the attribute property when it has a score of 60 and the other ob
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

Ratio Scale

Explanation:

A ration scale of measurement is one that has equal units of measurement, and has an absolute value of zero. Measurements below the zero point on the scale is not possible. for example in the measurement of height in meters, the lowest measurement possible is 0 meter, a measurement of - 1 meter will make no mathematical sense. In this example, if a score of 60 is said to have twice as much attributes than a score of 30, it means that this attributes are measured from a reference zero point, because truly, 60 is twice as much as 30, from a zero point on a scale.

The other scales of measurements include;

nominal scale of measurement; which contains mainly categorical data and is mainly used in form of tags rather than showing magnitude or intervals. Example is grouping a group of adults into married, divorced or single.

Ordinal scale; this scale shows hierarchical series or ordered series, but does not show intervals between the elements. example is in classifying the positions of participants in a race as first, second or third etc. There is an ordering, as the first position is on top of the list, but it will now make sense to say the distance between the attribute of first to third position is the same as the distance between the attributes between third and fifth position, as there is no scale.

Interval scale; this scale of measurement does not have a limit zero value which represents the least possible point on a scale, but the intervals between different units on the scale can be compared logically. Example is the measurement of temperature using the Fahrenheit scale, where the temperature can go as low as - 20°F, below the zero point, and a distance of 3°F to 5°F can be said to be equal to a distance of 10°F to 12°F.
