A firm in a purely competitive industry has a typical cost structure. The normal rate of profit in the economy is 5 percent. This firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders.
a. What is its percentage rate of return? 11 percent.
b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? Yes If so, how large? 6 percent.
c. Will this industry see entry or exit? Entry
d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answers are given below

Explanation:

a. What is its percentage rate of return?

From the question, we are told that the firm is earning $5.50 on every $50 invested by its founders. The percentage of return will now be:

= $5.50/$50 × 100%

= 0.11 × 100%

= 11%

b. Is the firm earning an economic profit? If so, how large?

The economic profit will be the difference that exists between the percentage of return which is 11% and the normal rate of profit which is 5%. This will be:

= 11% - 5%

= 6%

The firm is earning economic profit of 6%.

c. Will this industry see entry or exit?

There will be entry into the industry. This is because the percentage of return which is 11% is greater than the normal rate of profit which is 5%.

d. What will be the rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium?

The rate of return earned by firms in this industry once the industry reaches long-run equilibrium will be 5% which is the normal rate of profit in the economy.

A company issued 1,000 shares of $10 par value common stock due to a previously declared stock dividend; the market value at both the date of declaration and distribution was $12 per share. Which of the following correctly describes the reporting of this stock issue within the financing activities section of the cash flow statement?
a) A cash outflow of $10,000
b) A cash outflow of $2,000
c) A cash outflow of $12,000
d) There is no cash flow

Answers

Answer:

d) There is no cash flow

Explanation:

There is no cash flow because a stock dividend refers to a dividend that is paid by issuing additional shares to shareholders of a company instead of paying them a cash dividend.

Therefore, there is no cash flow since no cash is received nor paid.

Note: To record stock dividends, the amounts is moved from retained earnings to paid-in capital; and the evidence that no cash is received nor paid is that the journal entries for the issue of stock dividend will be as follows:

Debit Retained for $12,000 (i.e. 1,000 * $12 = $12,000)

Credit Common Stock for $10,000 (i.e. 1,000 - $10 = $10,000)

Credit Additional Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par - Common Stock for $2,000 ($12,000 - $10,000)

The absorption costing unit product cost was:

Answers

Answer:

Absorption costing unit product cost = $270  per unit

Explanation:

Absorption costing values unit produced using the full cost per unit.

It categories cost as production and non-production cost

Full cost per unit =Direct labour cost + direct material cost + Variable production overhead + fixed production overhead

Fixed prod overhead per unit = Total fixed production overhead/Number of units

= $148,000/3,700 units=$40 per unit

Full cost per unit = 132+ 93+ 5 + 40 = $270  per unit

Absorption costing unit = $270  per unit

The following monthly data are available for Sheridan Company which produces only one product: Selling price per unit, $38; Unit variable expenses, $14; Total fixed expenses, $42000; Actual sales for the month of June, 7000 units. How much is the margin of safety for the company for June

Answers

Answer:

$199,500

Explanation:

The computation of the margin of safety is shown below:

As we know that

margin of safety = Actual sales - break even sales

where,

Actual sales is

= Actual sales units × Selling price per unit

= 7,000 units × $38

= $266,000

And, the break even sales is

= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin per unit

= $42,000 ÷ ($38 - $14)

= $42,000 ÷ $24

= 1,750 units

Now the break even sales is

= Break even units × selling price per unit

= 1,750 units × $38

= $66,500

So, the margin of safety is

= $266,000 - $66,500

= $199,500

An electric utility is considering a new power plant in northern Arizona. Power from the plant would be sold in the Phoenix area, where it is badly needed. Because the firm has received a permit, the plant would be legal; but it would cause some air pollution. The company could spend an additional $40 million at Year 0 to mitigate the environmental Problem, but it would not be required to do so. The plant without mitigation would cost $209.71 million, and the expected cash inflows would be $70 million per year for 5 years. If the firm does invest in mitigation, the annual inflows would be $75.84 million. Unemployment in the area where the plant would be built is high, and the plant would provide about 350 good jobs. The risk adjusted WACC is 17%.a) Calculate the NPV and IRR with and without mitigation.
b) How should the environment effects be dealt with when evaluating this project?
c) Should this project be undertaken? If so, should the firm do the mitigation?

art E14 is used by M Corporation to make one of its products. A total of 20,000 units of this part are produced and used every year. The company's Accounting Department reports the following costs of producing the part at this level of activity: Per Unit Direct materials $ 4.30 Direct labor $ 8.90 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 9.40 Supervisor's salary $ 4.80 Depreciation of special equipment $ 3.20 Allocated general overhead $ 8.40 An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $30.30 each. If this offer is accepted, the supervisor's salary and all of the variable costs, including the direct labor, can be avoided. The special equipment used to make the part was purchased many years ago and has no salvage value or other use. The allocated general overhead represents fixed costs of the entire company, none of which would be avoided if the part were purchased instead of produced internally. In addition, the space used to make part E14 could be used to make more of one of the company's other products, generating an additional segment margin of $32,000 per year for that product. The annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company as a result of buying part E14 from the outside supplier should be:

Answers

Answer:

It is more profitable to continue making the product. On this level of production, the company saves $26,000 if it makes the product in-house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units= 20,000

Per Unit Cost:

Direct materials $4.30

Direct labor $8.90

Variable manufacturing overhead $9.40

Supervisor's salary $4.80

An outside supplier has offered to make the part and sell it to the company for $30.30 each.

Rent space= $32,000 per year

We will take into account only the differential costs.

Make in-house:

Total cost= 20,000* (4.3 + 8.9 + 9.4 + 4.8)= $548,000

Buy:

Total cost= 20,000*30.3 - 32,000= $574,000

It is more profitable to continue making the product. On this level of production, the company saves $26,000 if it makes the product in-house.

An asset has an average return of 10.19 percent and a standard deviation of 22.41 percent. What is the most you should expect to lose in any given year with a probability of 16 percent

Answers

The computation of cost of goods manufactured is shown below:-

Cost of Goods Manufactured = Gross Manufacturing Cost + Opening Work in progress - Closing work in progress

= $3,000,000 + $18,000 - $12,000

= $3,006,000

Therefore for computing the cost of goods manufactured we have applied the above formulas and ignore all other values as they are not relevant.

george forgot to pay his monthly life insurance premium that was due march 1. the policy had a face value of $100,000. on march 21, george died. how much will the insurer pay george's beneficiary for this death claim

Answers

Answer: An amount equal to the face value of the policy, MINUS the overdue premiums and any interest or late penalties George owed them

Explanation:

Grace Periods are usually included in Life Insurance policies to safeguard the client in question in case they are late with their payment. This means that should they pay within the grace period they will not lose their coverage.

Normally in Life Insurance, a grace period of 30 days is standard. George died 20 days after his due date which meant that he was still under a grace period and so the Insurance company will still pay out to his beneficiaries but they will deduct all monies owed by George.

Biarritz Corp. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 29 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 6.8 percent thereafter. If the required return is 15 percent and the company just paid a dividend of $3.15, what is the current share price

Answers

Answer:

The current price of the share is $69.85

Explanation:

To calculate the current share price, we will use the dividend discount model approach.

The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.

The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r)  +  D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n  +

[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n

Where,

g1 is initial growth rateg2 is the constant growth rater is the required rate of return

So, the price of the stock today will be,

P0 = 3.15 * (1+0.29) / (1+0.15)  +  3.15 * (1+0.29)^2 / (1+0.15)^2  +  

3.15 * (1+0.29)^3 / (1+0.15)^3  +  

[( 3.15 * (1+0.29)^3 * (1+0.068)) / (0.15 - 0.068)] / (1+0.15)^3

P0 = $69.85196 rounded off to $69.85

How much are you willing to pay today to buy one share of this stock if your desired rate of return is 12 percent

Answers

Answer:

The maximum hat should be paid for the stock today is $6.48

Explanation:

The price of the stock today can be calculated using the dividend discount model. It bases the price or value of a stock on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock.

The price of the stock today is,

P0 = 0.27/(1+0.12)  +  0.32/(1+0.12)^2  +  0.47/(1+0.12)^3  + 0.77/(1+0.12)^4 

[ (0.77 * (1+0.023)) / (0.12 - 0.023) ] / (1+0.12)^4

P0 = $6.48092 rounded off to $6.48

The maximum to be paid= $84,260.023

Explanation:

The maximum amount to be paid is the present value of the series of annual cash inflow discounted at the opportunity cost rate of 4% per annum.

This is given in the relationship below:

PV = A ×( 1- (1+r)^(-n))/r )

A- annual amount receivable- 6,200. r-rate of return - 4%, n-number of years- 20

PV = 6,200 × ( 1 - (1+0.04)^(-20)/0.04)

= 6,200 × 13.5903

= $84,260.023

The maximum to be paid= $84,260.023

(i) annually $ 1693.9 Correct: Your answer is correct. (ii) quarterly $ 1204.3 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (iii) monthly $ (iv) weekly $ (v) daily $ (vi) hourly $ (vii) continuously $

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

(i) The computation of compound interest for annual is shown below:-

Compound interest = A = P × (1 + r ÷ n)^t

= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 1)^1 × 4

= $1,200 × (1.09)^4

= $1,693.897932

or

= $1,693.90

(ii) The computation of compound interest for quarterly is shown below:-

= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 4)^4 × 4

= $1,200 × (1.09)^16

= $1,713.145749

or

= $1,713.15

Since it is quarterly so we divide the interest rate by 4 and multiply the time period by 4

(iii) The computation of compound interest for monthly is shown below:-

= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 12)^4 × 12

=  $1,200 × (1.0075)^48

= $1,717.6864

or

= $1,717.69

Since it is monthly so we divide the interest rate by 12 and multiply the time period by 12

(iv) The computation of compound interest for weekly is shown below:-

= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 52)^4 × 52

= $1,200 × (1.432883461 )^208

= $1719.460154

or

= $1,719.46

Since it is weekly so we divide the interest rate by 52 and multiply the time period by 52

(v) The computation of compound interest for daily is shown below:-

= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 365)^4 × 365

= $1,200 × (1.43326581  )^1460

= $1719.918972

or

= $1719.92

Since it is daily so we divide the interest rate by 365 and multiply the time period by 365

(vi) The computation of compound interest for hourly is shown below:-

= $1,200 × (1 + 9% ÷ 8760)^4 × 8760

= $1,200 × (1.433326764   )^35,040

= $1,719.992117

or

= $1719.99

(vii) The computation of compound interest for continuously is shown below:-

A = Pe^rt

= 1,200e^0.09 × 4

= 1,200e^0.36

= $1,720.00

Consider an assembly line with 20 stations. Each station has a 0.5% probability of making a defect. At the end of the line, an inspection step singles out the defective units. The inspection step catches 80% of all defects. From inspection, units that are deemed to be non-defective
are moved to the shipping department.
If a defect is found at inspection, it is sent to the rework department.
Rework fixes about 95% of the defective units. Units are directly shipped from the rework department with no further inspection taking place.
1- What is the probability that a unit ends up in rework (in decimal form)?
2- What is the probability that a defective unit is shipped (in decimal form)?

Answers

Answer:

Assembly Line

1. Probability that a unit ends up in rework = Probability of defect in 20 stations multiplied by the probability of catching defects = 0.8%(1% x 80%) = 0.008

2. Probability that a defective unit is shipped = Probability of defective units during inspection plus Probability of defective units during rework = 25% (20% + (100-95%)) = 0.25

Explanation:

a) Probability of defect in 20 stations = 0.5% x 20 = 1%.  Each station has a 0.05%

b) Probability of defective units during inspection = 20% (100% - 80)

c) Probability of defective units during rework = 5% (100% -95)

c) Probability is the likelihood or chance of an event occurring.  Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes. This will give us the probability of a single event occurring.

Jack's Construction Co. has 80,000 bonds outstanding that are selling at par value. Bonds with similar characteristics are yielding 8.5%. The company also has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock has a beta of 1.1 and sells for $40 a share. The U.S. Treasury bill is yielding 4% and the market risk premium is 8%. Jack's tax rate is 35%. What is Jack's weighted average cost of capital

Answers

Answer:

The answer is =10.36%

Explanation:

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a way that a company calculates its cost of financing and acquiring assets by comparing the debt and equity structure of the business.

WACC = WeRe + WdRd

We is weight of equity

Re is cost of equity

Wd is weight of debt

Rd is cost of debt

For its cost of equity:

Ke = Rf + beta(market risk premium)

Where Ke is cost of equity

Rf is risk free rate of return( treasury bill return)

4% + 1.1 x 8%

= 12.8%

Total debt 80,000 x $1,000 = $80million

Common: 4million x $40 = $160million

Total = $80milllion + $160million

=$240million.

Therefore, WACC is

WdRd= 80/240 x [8.5% x(1-35%)]

80/240 x 5.5%

=1.83%

WeRe = 160/240 x 12.8%

= 8.53%

=1.83% + 8.53%

=10.36%

The company is currently operating at 100% capacity, and variable manufacturing overhead is charged to production at the rate of 30% of direct labor cost. The direct materials and direct labor cost per unit to make the wheels are $3.00 and $3.60 respectively. Normal production is 200,000 wheels per year. A supplier offers to make the wheels at a price of $8 each. If the bicycle company accepts this offer, all variable manufacturing costs will be eliminated, but the $84,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead currently being charged to the wheels will have to be absorbed by other products. Required: a. Prepare an incremental analysis for the decision to make or buy the wheels. b. Should Sarasota Bicycles buy the wheels from the outside supplier

Answers

Answer:

It is better to make the wheels

Explanation:

Sarasota Bicycles

Incremental Analysis

                                            Make             Buy

Direct materials                 $3.00

Direct labor                        $3.60

Variable OH (3.06*30%)    1.08

Total                                   7.68                  8

Normal production  200,000                    200,000

Total Costs                    1536000            1600,000

Fixed Overheads         84,000                 84,000      

Total Costs                   1620,000             1684,000  

As fixed costs are irrelevant costs that would not change whether the company makes or buys wheels and the cost to make the wheels $7.08 is less than the cost to buy $ 8.0. It is better to make the wheels . Buying the wheels from the outside supplier  is costly.

a. Incremental Analysis for making the wheels at Sarasota Bicycles is as follows:

                                       Make              Buy                   Differential

                                  Alternative 1   Alternative 2            Cost

Relevant cost per unit      $7.68              $8.00             $0.32 ($8.00 - $7.68)

Total cost                 $1,536,000    $1,600,000    $64,000 (200,000 x $0.32)

b. Sarasota should not buy the wheels from the outside supplier.  It should continue to make them as it saves $64,000 per year from making the wheels.

Data and Calculations:

Direct materials cost per unit = $3.00

Direct labor cost per unit =        $3.60

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.08 ($3.60 x 30%)

Total variable cost per unit =  $7.68

Number of wheels per year = 200,000

Outside Supplier's Price = $8 per unit

Thus, Sarasota Bicycles gains $64,000 by making the wheels instead of buying from the outside supplier.

Oscar owns a building that is destroyed in a hurricane. His adjusted basis in the building before the hurricane is $130,000. His insurance company pays him $140,000 and he immediately invests in a new building at a cost of $142,000. What is Oscar's basis on his new building?

Answers

Answer: $132,000

Explanation:

Oscar's new basis on the building will be the basis of the old building plus any additional investment he added.

This is the because there is no gain on the $140,000 he received because it was an Involuntary Conversion amount and he reinvested it into another building within a period of 2 years.

As there is no gain, the building will retain it's original basis but will add any amount outside the involuntary replacement cost of the building.

The Additional basis will be,

= Cost of building - Insurance

= 142,000 - 140,000

= $2,000

The Basis for the new building is,

= 130,000 + 2,000

= $132,000

Accounting practice in the United States follows the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) developed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), which is a nongovernmental, professional standards body that monitors accounting practices and evaluates controversial issues. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires all publicly traded companies to periodically report their financial information.

A publicly held corporation must publish an annual report that contains the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, statement of retained earnings, and other financial information for analysis.

The following descriptions of the major financial statements and reports that a firm publishes. Identify the correct statement or report for each description.

Description :

a. Is required by the SEC and includes the audited document that shows the company's financial results for the past year and management's discussion about the future outlook and plans
b. Gives details about the firm's sales, costs, and profits for the past accounting period
c. Details changes in the capital received from investors in exchange for stock (paid-in capital), donated capital, and retained earings.
d. Provides details about the flow of funds from operating, investing, and financing activities.
e. Summarizes a company's assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity at a specific point in time.

Answers

Answer: a. Annual Report

b. Income statement

c. Statement of Shareholder Equity.

d. Cashflow Statement

e. Balance Sheet.

Explanation:

The Annual Report is a comprehensive report that aims to show stakeholders including the SEC what the company has been up to in the previous year. It analyzes the business's financial report and also the strategic goals of the business as well.

The Income Statement lets stakeholders know how the company's business transactions went for the previous period. It shows how much goods and services were sold as well as the expenses involved.

The Statement of Shareholder Equity aims to show how the business's dealings during the year have impacted the ownership of the company. It shows the Capital and the Retained Earnings.

The Cashflow Statement aims to show just how much actual cash that the business has. To do so it usually divides the cash transactions into Operating, Investing, and Financing activities.

The Balance Sheet summarizes the components of the Accounting Equation which includes Assets, Liabilities and Equity. This way a person can see at a glance how the business operates.

Answer:

When buying PPE, the way to record it is to capitalize every expense that enabled the PPE to be brought to the location required and then set up for use. This includes the actual cost of the machine, the sales taxes (part of purchases price so must be included), the shipment of the machine as well as installation costs.

The Insurance paid (prepaid) is an expense for the period and so will not be capitalized.

Total cost of the machine therefore is;

= 65,000 + 5,500 + 900 + 1,800

= $73,200

Only the machine and the sales tax were purchased on account.

= 65,000 + 5,500

= $70,500

The rest in cash.

Given the following information, calculate the debt ratio percentage: Liabilities = $25,000Liquid assets = $5,000Monthly credit payments = $800Monthly savings = $760Net worth = $75,000Take-home pay = $2,300Gross income = $3,500Monthly expenses = $2,050

Answers

Answer:

33.33%

Explanation:

The debt ratio percentage is calculated as:

Liabilities / Net worth = Debt Ratio Percentage

$25,000 / $75,000 = 0.3333

0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%

The debt ratio is easy to calculate and is calculated by dividing the total liabilities of a person with the total net worth of the person. Dividing both gives a figure in decimal which is then multiplied by 100 to derive a percentage.

What is the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded?a) $12,240.b) $9,340.c) $9,780.d) $6,440.

Answers

Answer:

The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts after bad debt expense is recorded is $12,240. Option A

Explanation:

Cash sales = $167,000

Credit sales = $467,000

Selling and administrative expenses = $127,000

Sales returns and allowances = $47,000

Gross profit = $507,000

Accounts receivable = $275,000

Sales discounts = $31,000

Allowance for doubtful accounts credit balance = $2,900

Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' = $467,000 × 2%

= $9,240

Credit balance in the allowance account = $2,900

Bad debts expense =  Balance needed in the 'Allowance for doubtful accounts' + Credit balance in the allowance account

= $9,340 + $2,900

= $12,240

The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration are examples of agencies engaged in A. the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries. B. health and safety regulation. C. social regulation. D. the regulation of natural monopolies.

Answers

Answer:

A. the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries.

Explanation:

The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Aviation Administration are examples of agencies engaged in the regulation of nonmonopolistic industries.

A nonmonopolistic industry is one that is characterized by competition among various service providers in a country and generally there's a government agency that regulates their actions and activities in the public.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is a governmental agency saddled with the sole responsibility of regulating the securities or capital markets, as well as protecting investors in a country.

In the U.S, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an independent government agency was established under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 of the United States of America.

Hence, SEC has the power to propose securities rules and regulations, and enforce federal securities law in the securities market.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was founded on the 23rd of August, 1958 under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 of the United States of America. It is an independent government agency with the responsibility of regulating civil aviation, commercial space transportation, construction and maintenance of airports, air traffic management and operations of navigation systems for both civil and military aircrafts, and issuance of licenses to airline operators with their personnel.

The management of L Corporation is considering a project that would require an investment of $260,000 and would last for 6 years. The annual net operating income from the project would be $110,000, which includes depreciation of $17,000. The cash inflows occur evenly throughout the year. The payback period of the project is closest to (Ignore income taxes.):

Answers

Answer:

2.04 years

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.

To derive cash flows from net income, add depreciation to net income.

$110,000 + $17,000 = $127,000

Payback period = $260,000 / $127,000 = 2.04 years

The City of Southern Pines maintains its books so as to prepare fund accounting statements and records worksheet adjustments in order to prepare government-wide statements. As such, the City’s internal service fund, a motor pool fund, is included in the proprietary funds statements. Balance sheet asset accounts include: Cash, $102,000; Investments, $150,400; Due from the General Fund, $18,300; Inventories, $396,000; and Capital Assets (net), $1,169,700. Liability accounts include: Accounts Payable, $61,500; Long-Term Advance from Enterprise Fund, $738,000. The only transaction in the internal service fund that is external to the government is interest revenue in the amount of $4,400. Exclusive of the interest revenue, the internal service fund reported net income in the amount of $84,000. An examination of the records indicates that services were provided as follows: one-third to general government, one-third to public safety, and one-third to public works. Prepare necessary adjustments in order to incorporate the internal service fund in the government-wide statements as a part of governmental activities. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)

Answers

Answer: The answer has been attached

Explanation:

The journal is a book in accounting that is used to record the transactions that affect a business. It should be noted that the double entry method of bookkeeping is utilised while recording in a journal.

The journal has been attached in the following way:

1. The journal was used to record the balance sheet particulars.

2. To record the transaction in the internal service fund that is external to the government.

3. To record the internal service fund in the government-wide statements as a part of governmental activities.

It should also be noted that the net income of $84,000 was to be shared as one-third to general government, one-third to public safety, and one-third to public works. This means they'll all receive ($84,000/3) = $28,000 each.

Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 24 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7 percent thereafter. If the required return is 11 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.05, what is the current share price? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

The current price per share is $84.16

Explanation:

The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.

The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r)  +  D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n  +

[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n

Where,

g1 is initial growth rate

g2 is the constant growth rate

r is the required rate of return

So, the price of the stock today will be,

P0 = 2.05 * (1+0.24) / (1+0.11)  +  2.05 * (1+0.24)^2 / (1+0.11)^2  +  

2.05 * (1+0.24)^3 / (1+0.11)^3  + [( 2.05 * (1+0.24)^3 * (1+0.07)) / (0.11 - 0.07)] / (1+0.11)^3

P0 = $84.1556 rounded off to $84.16
