Answer:

value of the firm = 21.20 million

value of the firm =  20.80 million

Explanation:

given data

current profits = $400,000

annual rate = 4 percent

opportunity cost = 6 percent

solution

we get here value of the firm before pays out current profits as dividend is express as

value of the firm = current profits ( 1+opportunity cost  ) ÷ ( opportunity cost - annual rate ) ................1

put here value

value of the firm = \frac{400000*(1+0.06)}{0.06-0.04}  

value of the firm = 21.20 million

and

value of the firm after pays is

value of the firm = current profits ( 1+annual rate  ) ÷ ( opportunity cost - annual rate ) ................2

value of the firm =  \frac{400000*(1+0.04)}{0.06-0.04}  

value of the firm =  20.80 million

Peppercorn Inc. has outstanding nonconvertible preferred stock​ (cumulative) that pays a quarterly dividend of​ $1.00. If your r
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Quarterly dividend = $1.00

Required rate of return per annum = 8% = 0.08

Quarterly rate of return = 0.08/4 = 0.02

Current market price = <u>Quarterly dividend</u>

                                      Quarterly required rate of return

                                   = $1.00

                                       0.08

                                   = $12.5      

The amount to pay for 1,000 shares = $1.25 x 1,000 = $12,500

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Explanation:

The current market price is calculated as quarterly dividend paid divided by quarterly required rate of return. Then, we will multiply the current market price by the number of shares in order to determine the total amount to pay for the shares.

Main Street Antiques is planning on paying an annual dividend of $2.20 per share next year. The company is slowly downsizing and
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The current value of this stock should be $20.

Explanation:

The current value of this stock should be calculated by applying the formula to find present value of growth perpetuity. The formula is shown as below:

Stock price = D1 / ( Rate of required return - Growth rate of annual dividend)

in which: D1 = next year dividend = 2.20;

               Rate of required return = 8%;

               Growth rate of annual dividend = -3%.

So, Stock price = 2.2 / [8% - (-3%) ] = $20.

So, the answer is: the current value of this stock should be $20.

The Walden Manufacturing Corp. has office support salaries of $4,000, factory supplies of $1,000, indirect labor of $6,000, dire
Sedbober [7]

Answer: <em>Total Period Cost = $20,500</em>

Explanation:

Given :

Salary = $4000

Factory supply = $1000

Indirect labor = $6000

Direct material = $16000

Advertising expense = $2500

Office expense = $14000

Direct labor = $20000

Period costs are the costs incurring that do not tend to be a section of manufacturing process. Therefore, we compute the Period Cost using the following formula:

<em> Period costs = Salary + Advertising expense + Office expense </em>

<em> = $4,000 + $2,500 + $14,000 </em>

<em> = $20,500</em>
