The company's external equity comes from those funds raised from public issuance of shares or rights. The cost of external equity is the minimum rate of return which the shareholders supply new funds <span>by </span>purchasing<span> new shares to prevent the decline of the market value of the shares. To compute the cost of external equity, we should use this formula:</span>
Ke<span> = (DIV 1 / Po) + g</span>
Ke<span> = cost of external equity</span>
DIV 1 = dividend to be paid next year
Po = market price of share
g = growth rate
In the problem, the estimated dividend to be paid next year is $1.50. The market price is $18.50 and the growth rate is 4%.
<span>Substituting the given to the formulas, we need to divide $1.50 by $18.50 giving us the result of 8.11% plus the growth rate; this would yield to the result of 12.11% cost of external equity.</span>
Answer:
13.3 times per week
Explanation:
Inventory turnover helps to show how efficiently a company manages its inventory by comparing the cost of goods sold and the average inventory for a particular period. In other words, it measures how many times a company sold its total average inventory amount during a particular period. In this case, one week. This is an important assessment to ensure two things:
1. Inventory meets sales adequately and sales will not be affected by not having enough inventory.
2. Too much inventory is not held at one point, which would incur high storage and holding costs, and also wastage in terms of perishable inventory such as hamburger patties.
It is calculated as cost of goods sold / average inventory.
In this case, 6000 third - pound hamburgers are sold each week, with it costing $1.5 per pound.
6000 x 1/3 = 2000 pounds
2000 pounds x $1.5 = $3000 COGS per week.
Since average inventory is 450 pounds for two weeks, it would be 225 per week.
Hence, inventory turnover =
$3000 / 225 = 13.3 times per week
Answer:
$73.47
Explanation:
2.87 is the current dividend paid (D0)
Use that to find dividends for the next 5 years;
D1 = D0(1+g) ; g being the growth rate
D1 = 2.87(1.08) = 3.0996
D2 = 3.0996(1.08) = 3.3476
D3 =3.3476(1.08) = 3.6154
D4 = 3.6154(1.08) = 3.9046
D5 = 3.9046(1.08) = 4.2170
Next, find terminal cashflows;
D6 (yr 2024) = 4.2170 (1.03) = 4.3435
Find Present values of all the dividends using the 8% discount rate with the formula; PV = FV/
PV(D1) = 2.87
PV(D2) = 2.87
PV(D3) = 2.87
PV(D4)= 2.87
PV(D5)= 2.87
PV of terminal value; PV(D6 onwards) = 
= 59.1223
Sum up the PVs to find value per share;
$2.87 +$2.87 +$2.87 +$2.87 +$2.87+ $59.1223 = $73.47
Answer:
Letter D is correct. <em>Grouping people according to their psychological characteristics, values, and lifestyles.</em>
Explanation:
Psychographic segmentation is a market segmentation technique where individuals are grouped according to psychological traits such as lifestyle and behavioral patterns which may be: opinions, social status, eating habits, daily routine and many others.
This type of segmentation aims to identify psychological traits and values that influence individual consumer behavior.
Calculating average cost of steak initially when only 5000 pounds was produced
Average cost= 50000/5000
AC= 10$
Now when 1 pound is added only 9$ is added in total cost so marginal cost
MC= 9$
From above calculations we can see that AC>MC
so we can say that the average cost of production is greater than marginal cost so it will be beneficial to produce more
