After the dividend, the company's:
a. book value per share will become $6.31.
b. price-earnings ratio will adjust to 13.88.
c. shareholder value per share will amount to $18.60.
d. stock price will be $19.00.
e. earnings per share will equal $.94.
The result is: b
To determine the ex-dividend price per share on the day the dividend is distributed, we follow this method:
Ex-dividend Price = Share price before dividend - dividend amount per share
Ex-dividend price = $18.6 ($19 - $0.40)
Using this ex-dividend price, we can calculate the P/E ratio after the dividend.
P/E = $18.6/$1.34 = 13.88059
Answer:
$311,100
Explanation:
Solution
Let's remember the following details:
The assumption is that Chester Corp has reduced its workforce by = %
The estimated cost of exit interviews = 100
Normal separation expenses = $5000
Now,
The total number of employees = 305
The reduction in workforce = 20%
So,
The number of employees being laid off = 305 x 20% = 61 individuals
Thus,
The separation expense per employee = $5000
Cost for exit interviews = $100
Total expense per individual = $5,100
Now,
The overall separation cost = 61 individuals x total separation cost per employee
That is,
= 61 x 5100 = $311,100
Answer:
$5,000 Schedule A (Itemized Deductions)
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
George's total income amounts to =$5000
Property taxes equal =$3000
Operating costs are =$1500
Depreciation amounts to =$800
Now
Typically, according to the IRS guidelines, expenses incurred from a hobby are only allowable to the extent of the income generated by that hobby. Since a hobby is for personal enjoyment rather than profit, it cannot be classified as business profit and loss
Thus, George's deductible expense for the year totals $5,000 and should be reported on Schedule A (Itemized Deductions).
