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.
Answer:
ROA for 20X1= 10%
Profit margin for 20X1= 5%
Assets turnover= 2
ROA for the coming year= 11.25%
Explanation:
Weber corporation return on assets for 20X1 can be calculated as follows
ROA= Net income/Average total assets × 100
= 2,450,000/24,500,000 × 100
= 0.1 × 100
= 10%
The profit margin can be calculated as follows
= Net income/sales × 100
= 2,450,000/49,000,000 × 100
= 0.05 × 100
= 5%
The assets turnover ratio can be calculated as follows
= Sales/Average Total assets
= 49,000,000/24,500,000
= 2
The company ROA if when the turnover rate for next year is2.25 and the profit margin remain unchanged can be calculated as follows
= profit margin × assets turnover ratio
= 5% × 2.25
= 11.25%

Fixed costs are business expenses that do not change when production levels increase or decrease. These are one of two types of business expenses and the other is variable costs. Variable costs change with increases or decreases in production volume. Then:
1) <em>The wages paid to the taco makers and other employees</em> - Variable Costs
2) <em>Materials</em> (e.g., cheeses, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, taco shells, etc.) <em>used to make the tacos</em> - Variable Costs

Knowing she has sold 5,000 pairs, assume the company wants to launch a Black Friday promotion, where she would discount her shoes by 10%. How many more shoes would she have to sell to justify this promotion?
A. 25.13% more shoes
B. 20.08% more shoes
C. None of the above, but I could calculate this with the information I am given.
D. None of the above, I cannot calculate this with the information I am given.
Answer:
Option A. 25.13% more shoes
Explanation:
Cost Benefit analysis would be useful here to acknowledge what percentage of shoe sales is required to justify the promotion.
<u>The Benefit drawn before 10% promotion proposal:</u>
Revenue: $500,000
Shoes: ($250,000)
Shoe boxes: ($1,000)
Advertising: ($500)
Rent: ($1,000)
Depreciation: ($25)
Profit $247,475
<u>The Benefit drawn before 10% promotion proposal:</u>
Revenue: $450,000
Shoes: ($250,000)
Shoe boxes: ($1,000)
Advertising: ($500)
Rent: ($1,000)
Depreciation: ($25)
Profit $197,475
Now we can calculate how much additional sales must be required to justify the promotion.
Sales Increase Required = (Initial Profit - Before Promotion) / Profit After Promotion
Sales Increase Required = ($247,475 - $197,475) / $197,475
Sales Increase Required = 25.31% which is close to option 1, hence Option 1 is correct here.
