Complete Question:
What is the expected annual capital gain yield for Orange Corp stock, based on the Constant Dividend Growth Model? The company plans to pay an annual dividend of of $4.12 per share in one year. The expected annual growth rate of the dividend is 12.9%, and the required rate of return for the stock is 16.63%. Answer as a percentage, 2 decimal places (e.g., 12.34% as 12.34).
Answer:
12.9%
Explanation:
As we know that:
Capital Gain Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Step 1: Find P0
Po = D1 / (Ke - g)
Here
D1 is $4.12 per share
Ke is 16.63%
g is 12.9%
By putting values, we have:
Po = $4.12 / (16.63% - 12.9%)
= $110.46
Step 2: Find P1
P1 = D2 / (Ke - g)
Here
D2 = D1 * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.12 per share * (1 + 12.9%) = $4.65
Ke is 16.63%
g is 12.9%
By putting values, we have:
Po = $4.65 / (16.63% - 12.9%)
= $124.70
Step3: Find Annual Capital Gain Yield
Capital Gain Yield = (P1 - P0) / P0
Now by putting values, we have:
Capital Gain Yield = ($124.7 - $110.46) / $110.46
= 12.9%
You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.’s 6.6 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,056. These bonds make annual payments and mature 11 years from now. Suppose you decide to sell your bonds today, when the required return on the bonds is 4.5 percent. The bonds have a par value of $1,000. If the inflation rate was 3.2 percent over the past year, what was your total real return on investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
14.25%
Explanation:
For computing the total real return first we have to find out the present value and the required return which is shown below:
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 4.5%
NPER = 11 years
PMT = $1,000 × 6.6% = $66
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula the present value is $1,179.11
Now the required return is
= ($1,179.11 + $66) ÷ ($1,056) -1
= 17.91%
And finally,
total real return
= ($1.1791 ÷ 1.032) - 1
= 14.25%
Fiedler's contingency model of leadership has made an important and lasting contribution to the study of leadership because it: Group of answer choices suggests that organizations need to engineer the situation to fit the leader's preferred style. is the only theory to adopt the implicit leadership perspective. was the first theory to recognize the existence of leadership substitutes. discovered that effective leaders do not have a common set of competencies. is the only leadership theory to adopt a contingency approach.
Answer:
suggests that organizations need to engineer the situation to fit the leader's preferred style.
Explanation:
Fiedler is of the view that a person's leadership style is a product of experiences throughout their lifetime. So it is difficult to change it.
He suggested that instead of teaching a particular leadership style and forcing people to align with them, it is better to adjust the situation to an individual's leadership style.
The weakness of this is that the leader may be more effective in a particular situation and weak in another one

Which of the following is not a reason for a direct materials quantity variance? a.purchasing of inferior raw materials
Answer: d. increased material cost per unit
Explanation:
Direct materials quantity variance has to do with the difference between the budgeted quantity of materials and the actual quantity of materials used. It speaks to only the quantity used and nothing else.
An increased cost of the material is not relevant to the quantity of material used because whilst for instance it measures if there was a price change in the material, the materials quantity variance checks if there has been a change in quantity.

Explanation:
Samantha and Darren are 50% owners in Black Hat Corp., a calendar year S corporation. On June 29, Samantha sold her shares to Endora. The financial results of Black Hat using normal accounting rules are as follows: Income through June 30 = $34,000; income from July 1 - Dec 31 = $76,000 for total income for the year of $110,000. All the shareholders would like to limit the tax liability from the S corporation income. Considering these facts, would Endora prefer the daily method or the normal accounting method to allocate income? What method would Samantha prefer?
Answer:
Endora would prefer DAILY METHOD while Samantha would prefer NORMAL ACCOUNTING METHOD
Explanation:
Based on the information given above Endora would most likely prefer the DAILY METHOD reason been that she would most likely allocate her income over the whole year while Samantha would prefer NORMAL ACCOUNTING METHOD reason been that the normal accounting method will often tend to recognizes a higher share of the income mostly in the second half of the year.
Therefore Endora would prefer DAILY METHOD while Samantha would prefer NORMAL ACCOUNTING METHOD.

Luther's current ratio for 2006 is closest to:
Answer:
Luther Corporation
Current Ratio for 2006 is closest to:
1.1 : 1
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total Current Assets = $144 million
Total Current Liabilities = $132 million
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
= $144/$132
= 1.1 : 1
b) Luther Corporation's current ratio is a liquidity measure that shows Luther's ability to pay off short-term obligations worth $132 million or those due within one year with its current assets of $144 million. The ratio tells investors and analysts of Luther Corporation how Luther can use its current assets to pay off its current debts. Since Luther's current ratio is higher than 1, it is considered good, depending on the industry average. This means that Luther's current ratio of 1.1 : 1 should not be considered in isolation, but in comparison with other firms in the industry and its performance over a number of years.
Sweet Acacia Industries reported net income of $1.40 million in 2022. Depreciation for the year was $224,000, accounts receivable decreased $490,000, and accounts payable decreased $392,000.
Required:
Compute net cash provided by operating activities using the indirect approach.
Answer:
Net Cash flow from operating = $ 1,722,000
Explanation:
To determine the net cash flow from operating activities. We will adjust the net income as follows; all decrease in assets and increase in liabilities are added and all increase in assets and decrease in liabilities are subtracted.
All non- cash expenses would be added back and all non-cash income would be deducted from the net income. Notable here is depreciation a non-cash expense which must be added back to the net income
This principle is applied below:
$
Net Income 1,400,000
Adjustments:
Add depreciation expense 224,000
Add decrease in current asset 490,000
less decrease in current liabilities (392,000)
Net Cash flow from operating 1,722,000
Net Cash flow from operating = $ 1,722,000
100 million diluted shares outstanding trading at $37.50 per share. The company has $1 billion of debt outstanding with a cost of debt at 6.5% at a marginal tax rate of 40%. The company has $100 million of cash on its balance sheet. What is the enterprise value of Correct Inc.
Answer:
$4,650,000,000
Explanation:
We will use the formula below to calculate the enterprise value of Correct inc.
Enterprise value = Market value capital and debts - Cash and investments
= 100 million diluted shares × 37.50 per share + $1 billion of debt outstanding - $100 million cash
= $3750m + $1000m - $100m
= $4,650,000,000.

Let plug in the formula
Sales volume variance for operating income=$53,000-$40,000
Sales volume variance for operating income=$13,000 Unfavorable
Therefore the sales volume variance for operating income will be $13,000 Unfavorable
Which of the following is an advantage of a CD?
usually a higher interest rate
saving for a short-term purpose
flexible withdrawals
can be cashed out every year
Answer:
An Advantage of a Certificate of Deposit (CD) is:
It usually offers a higher interest rate.
Explanation:
For instance, Jones Company can purchase a certificate of deposit (CD) from Bank A. The CD is a financial product that pays a locked and premium interest rate. In exchange for this locked and higher interest rate, Jones Ltd agrees to leave a lump-sum deposit which it cannot withdraw from until a predetermined period of time. A CD is not a saving for a short-term purpose, and does not allow for flexible withdrawals unless after the maturity date has been reached. This implies that Jones Ltd cannot cash it out unless after the maturity date.

Answer:
Classification as Population or Sample
a. Sample
b. Population
c. Population
d. Population
e. Sample
f. Population
g. Population
Explanation:
The population defines the whole group, while the sample is a part of the population. This means that the sample is less than the population. In statistical research, it is not always possible to study the whole population, unless it is not large. Most times, only the sample is studied and conclusions are then drawn about the population size based on the characteristics discovered about the sample size.
Which of the following is an example of an oligopolistic market with a standardized product?
A) The market for breakfast cereal.
B) The market for aluminum.
C) The market for jewelry.
D) The market for automobiles.
Answer:
B) The market for aluminum.

Stephenson Co.'s 15-year bond with a face value of $1,000 currently sells for $850. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. The bond's coupon rate exceeds its current yield.
B. The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
C. If the yield to maturity stays constant until the bond matures, the bond's price will remain at $850.
D. The bonds current yield exceeds its yield to maturity.
Answer:
The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.
Explanation:
At a discount, the price of the bond is less than its face value, from bond theory principles, this is likely to happen when YTM is more than the coupon rate of the bond. Due to this the present value of the coupons and their face value are going to be lower than 1000 since YTM is greater.
The coupon rate is given as annual interest divided by face value
While
The yield is interest/ current price.
The answer to the question is therefore
The bond's yield to maturity is greater than its coupon rate.

If Tex's Manufacturing Company purchases the component externally, $20,000 of the fixed costs can be avoided. At what external price for the 100 units is the company indifferent between making or buying
Answer:
$210,000
Explanation:
The computation of the external price is shown below
Making cost = buying cost
$120,000 + $25,000 + $45,000 + $30,000) = external price + Unavoidable fixed cost (30,000-20,000)
$220,000 = External price + $10,000
So,
External price = 210,000
Hence, the same is to be considered
Therefore the external price is $210,000

To record the cash shortage.
b) Cash on hand exceeds cash to be accounted for by $26.50
Debit Cash Account $26.50
Credit Cash Overage $26.50
To record the cash overage.
Explanation:
Handling cash in Bluestem Industries will occasionally give rise to cash shortages and cash overages. The best practise is to enact a company policy to guide actions and decisions with respect to cash shortages and overages. And then the accounting for these will be in accordance with the policy. However, the problem of shortages and overages may be pointing at other underlying problems involved in cash handling. Where only the shortages are reported frequently, then the company may need to find ways to minimize cash handling, e.g. using credit cards to receive payments and refunding employees for expenses through bank accounts.
Analysis of Receivables Method At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $420,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balance of $4,000; and sales for the year total $1,890,000. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $16,400. a. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts. $ b. Determine the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense. Accounts Receivable $ 420,000 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ 16,400 Bad Debt Expense $ c. Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable. $
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. Amount of adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts
= Estimated balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts + debit balance
= $16,400 + $4,000
= $20,400
b. Adjusted balances
For account receivable
= account receivable
= $420,000
For allowance for doubtful debts
= Estimated amount
= $16,400
For bad debts
= AMount of adjusting entry
= $20,400
c. Net realizable value
= Account receivable balance - estimated balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
= $420,000 - $16,400
= $403,600

S Corporation makes 50,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 10.90 Direct labor $ 9.90 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 4.15 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 5.10 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to S Corporation for this motor is $28.15. If S Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of making the motors rather than buying them from the outside supplier would be: Multiple Choice $160,000 $367,500 ($95,000) $255,000
Answer:
If the company makes the motors, it will save $160,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 50,000 units
Production costs:
Direct materials $10.90
Direct labor $9.90
Variable manufacturing overhead $4.15
The price offered to S Corporation for this motor is $28.15.
We will take into account only the avoidable costs:
Make in-house:
Total cost= 50,000*(10.9 + 9.9 + 4.15)= $1,247,500
Buy:
Total cost= 50,000*28.15= $1,407,500
If the company makes the motors, it will save $160,000.
For a recent year, TechMart reported sales of $36,241 million. Its gross profit was $9,785 million. What was the amount of TechMart's cost of goods sold? (Enter answer in millions.)
Answer:
$26,456 million.
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the gross profit is:
Gross profit=Sales-cost of goods sold
Using this formula we can calculate the cost of goods sold as we have the information about the gross profit and the sales:
Cost of goods sold=Sales-Gross profit
Cost of goods sold=$36,241-$9,785
Cost of goods sold=$26,456
According to this, TechMart's cost of goods sold was $26,456 million.
Suppose we have the following scenario: Multiplier: 1.2 Tax Rate: 16% Increase in spending: $175 Billion Total Deficit in the previous year: $1 Trillion Based on the information provided what is the deficit that arises from the increase in spending from the government
Answer:
Deficit = $141.4 billion
Explanation:
Multiplier (K) = ΔY {GDP(income)} / ΔI {Govt spending}
ΔY = K * ΔI
ΔY = 1.2 * $175 billion
ΔY = $210 billion (income)
Tax applicable on income that generate revenue:
Revenue = 210 billion * 16%
Revenue = 210 billion * 0.16
Revenue = $33.6 billion
Deficit = Government spending - Revenue
Deficit = $175 billion - $33.6 billion
Deficit = $141.4 billion
The cash flows associated with each expansion site are summarized below. The expansion is planned for 5 years, and the interest rate is 12% per year. Use the B/C method to determine which site, if any, is the most acceptable. The monetary unit is $ million.
Site A B C
Initial cost, $ 55 70 200
M&O Cost, $/year 3 4 6
Benefits, $/year 20 29 55
Disbenefits, $/year 0.5 2 2.1
A. Site A
B. Site C
C. Site B
D. None
Answer:
C. Site B
Explanation:
A benefit-cost (B/C) method is a decision making techi=niques that uses benefit-cost ratio (BCR) to give a summary of overall relationship between the relative benefits and costs and a project being proposed.
To calculated the present values (PV) of Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Cost, Benefits and Disbenefits, we use cumulative discounting factor (CDF) for calculating the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity as follows:
CDF = [{1 - [1 / (1 + r)]^n} / r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
r = interest rate = 12%, or 0.12
n = number of years = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
CDF = [{1 - [1 / (1 + 0.12)]^5} / 0.12] = 3.60
We can now calculate the B?C of each Site as follows as follows:
a. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site A
Initial cost = $55
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $3 * 3.60 = $10.80
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$20 * 3.60 = $72.00
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $0.5 * 3.60 = $1.80
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $55 + $10.80 + $1.80 = $67.60
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $72.00 / $67.60 = 1.07
b. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site B
Initial cost = $70
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $4 * 3.60 = $14.40
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$29 * 3.60 = $104.40
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $2 * 3.60 = $7.20
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $70 + $14.40 + $7.20 = $91.60
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $104.40 / $91.60 = 1.14
b. Calculation of B/C ratio of Site B
Initial cost = $200
PV of M&O Cost = M&O Cost per year * CDF = $6 * 3.60 = $21.60
PV of Benefits = Benefits per year * CDF =$55 * 3.60 = $198.00
PV of Disbenefits = Disbenefits per year * CDF = $2.1 * 3.60 = $7.56
PV of Total Cost = Initial cost + PV of M&O cost + PV of Disbenefits = $200 + $21.60 + $7.56 = $229.16
B/C ratio of Site A = PV of Benefits / PV of tota cost = $198.00 / $229.16 = 0.86
