From the question, we are informed that in order to create a healthcare safety net, the government requires employers to provide healthcare coverage to all employees. Due to this, there will a rise in the number of hospital beds that will be required to cover for more people.
Since there is an increase in demand, there will be a reduction in supply in the short run as the increase in demand will be more than the supply of bed.
A stock just paid an annual dividend of $1.8. The dividend is expected to grow by 8% per year for the next 3 years. The growth rate of dividends will then fall steadily (linearly) from 8% after 3 years to 5% in year 6. The required rate of return is 12%.
1. What is the current stock price if the dividend growth rate will stay 0.05 (5%) forever after 6 years?
2. In 6 years, the P/E ratio is expected to be 23 and the payout ratio to be 80%. What is the current stock price when using the P/E ratio?
Answer:
1.
The current stock price is $28.71
2.
The current stock price is $149.15
Explanation:
1.
We need to calculate the present value of the dividends with each growth
First calculate the dividend each year
Year _________________________ Dividend
1 _____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^1__________ $1.9440
2_____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^2__________ $1.1664
3_____( $1.8 x ( 1 + 8% )^3__________ $2.2675
4_____( $2.2675 x ( 1 + 7% )________ $2.4262
5_____( $2.4262 x ( 1 + 6% )________ $2.5718
6_____( $2.5718 x ( 1 + 5% )_________ $2.7004
Calculate the present value of each years dividend
Year _________________________ present value
1 _____( $1.9440 / ( 1 + 12% )^1 __________ $2.1773
2_____$1.1664 / ( 1 + 12% )^2___________ $0.9298
3_____$2.2675 / ( 1 + 12% )^3___________$0.7118
4_____$2.4262 / ( 1 + 12% )^4___________$1.5419
5_____$2.5718 / ( 1 + 12% )^5___________ $1.4593
6_____$2.7004 / ( 12% - 5% ) / ( 1 + 12% )^5_$21.8897
Total _____________________________ $28.7098
Hence priec of the stock is $28.71
2.
First calculate dividend of Year 6
Dividend = EPS x Payout ratio = 23 x 80% = $18.40
Present value = $18.4 / ( 12% - 5% ) / ( 1 + 12% )^5 = $149.15

Last year, Big W Company reported earnings per share of $2.70 when its stock was selling for $40.50. If its earnings this year increase by 10% and the P/E ratio remains constant, what will be the price of its stock?
Answer: $44.55
Explanation:
P/E ratio last year = Market price / Earnings per share
= 40.50/2.70
= 15
PE ratio remains constant.
Earnings increase by 10% = 2.70 * 1.10 = $2.97
15 = Market Price / 2.97
Market Price = 15 * 2.97
= $44.55
Mary's team is located in different countries. Because of the time zone differences, it is difficult for the team to meet all together so their meetings are conducted ________.
Answer:
Asynchronously

Knight Corp. obtained land by issuing 3,000 shares of its $10 par value common stock. The land was recently appraised at $72,000. The common stock is actively traded at $25 per share. When recording the acquisition of the land, what amounts will be recorded in the Land and Common Stock accounts?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Knight Corp. obtained land by issuing 3,000 shares of its $10 par value common stock and that the land was recently appraised at $72,000 while the common stock is actively traded at $25 per share.
When recording the acquisition of the land, what amounts will be recorded in the Land and Common Stock accounts goes thus:
Debit: Land 3000 × $25 = $75000
Credit: Common stock = 3000 × $10 = $30,000
Therefore, the amount that will be recorded in the Land is $75000 and Common Stock accounts is $30000
If the abnormal return for a stock during the first week is +5 percent and +3 percent during the second week, what is the abnormal return for the two-week period?
A) 5 percent
B) 3 percent
C) 8.15 percent
D) 8 percent
Answer:
C) 8.15 percent
Explanation:
The computation of the abnormal return for the two week period is as follows:
Abnormal return is
= (1 + first week abnormal return) × (1 + second week abnormal return) - 1
= (1 + 5%) × (1 + 3%) - 1
= 1.0815% - 1
= 8.15%
Hence, the correct option is c.
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

c. the difference between the market price and the target price.
d. the proportion of the farmer's crop he can loan to the government.
e. the effective price (i.e. price floor) for the commodity to ensure loan repayment.
Answer: E. the effective price (i.e. price floor) for the commodity to ensure loan repayment
Explanation:
The Price Support Programm is a policy by the government that is used in order to help farmers when there's a reduction in prices of agricultural products by giving out insurance to the farmers.
In U.S. price support programs, the "loan rate" is simply the effective price (i.e. price floor) for the commodity to ensure loan repayment.
Because price and quantity supplied are directly related, we would expect the sign of the price elasticity of supply to be:_________
Answer:
Positive
Explanation:
Price elasticity is the measure to assess the responsiveness of the supply of a good or service after changing the price of the good or service.
According to basic principles of economics, the price and supply of good or services are directly proportional, it means that if the price increases the supply of good increases and vice versa. The sign of the price elasticity will be positive because they are directly related.
Form example
At Price $5 supply is 200 units
At price $6 supply 250 units
Calculate the change in price and change in supply as well.
Cange in price = ($6 - $5) / 5 = 0.2 = 20%
Cange in supply = 250 units - 200 units = 50 units / 200 unit = 0.25 = 25%
Price elasticity of supply = Change in supply / Change in price
Price elasticity of supply = 25% / 20%
Price elasticity of supply = 1.25
Hence, the sign is positive
You are a U.S. investor who purchased British securities for 2,340 pounds one year ago when the British pound cost $1.52. No dividends were paid on the British securities in the past year.

Total return=$3,928.4-$3,556.8/$3,556.8
Total return=$371.60/$3,556.8
Total return=0.1045*100
Total return=10.45%
Therefore Your total return based on U.S. dollars was 10.45%

During the taking of its physical inventory on December 31, Barry's Bike Shop incorrectly counted its inventory as $222,138.00 instead of the correct amount of $184,409.00. The effect on the balance sheet and income statement would be:______.
a. assets overstated by $52,094.00; retained earnings understated by $52,094.00; and net income statement understated by $52,094.00.
b. assets overstated by $223,182.00; retained earnings understated by $171,088.00; and no effect on the income statement.
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $52,094.00.
d. assets and retained earnings overstated by $171,088.00; and net income understated by $223,182.00.
Answer:
c. assets, retained earnings, and net income all overstated by $37,729.
Explanation:
since the ending inventory was overstated by $222,138 - $184,409 = $37,729, it means that cost of goods sold was understated by that same amount. Since COGS were less, that resulted in higher operating income and net income.
Merchandise inventory will be overstated by $37,729 (current asset), while retained earnings will also be overstated by $37,729 since net income increases retained earnings.

A provider of oil for home heating systems is offering $100 off its first delivery to new customers. This is an example of which sales promotion tactic?
a. Contest
b. Free gift with purchase
c. Bonuses
d. Push money
Answer:
b. Free gift with purchase
Explanation:
The promotion tactic that the provider is trying to use is a Free gift with purchase. This is because by making your first every purchase the company is basically gifting you a certain amount of money through a discount of your purchasing total. Companies tend to do this in order to attract customers through the enticement of free money or products/gifts. They are able to do this because a single purchase will make them more profit than they are wasting on the gift and can lead to recurring customers.

= $168,000/12
$14,000
The amount of interest expense Cross should report at the current year end is $14,000
