New York Times Co. (NYT) recently earned a profit of $1.21 per share and has a P/E ratio of 19.59. The dividend has been growing at a 7.25 percent rate over the past six years. If this growth rate continues, what would be the stock price in five years if the P/E ratio remained unchanged

Answers

Answer:

If the growth rate continues, the stock in 5years if the P/E ratio remains unchanged will be $33.64.

Explanation:

Given

Profit/share (Eo) = $1.21

Percentage growth (g) =7.25%

Number of years = 5 years

To find stock price, we use the formula:

P_n = [P/E] * E_0 * [1 + g]^n;

So, we have

P_5 = 19.59 * $1.21 * [1 + 0.0725]^5

= $33.64

Therefore, If the growth rate continues, the stock in 5years if the P/E ratio remains unchanged will be $33.64.

Most voluntary changes in accounting principles are reported retrospectively. This means for each year reported in the comparative statements, we make those statements appear as if the newly adopted account­ing method had been applied all along. A journal entry is created to adjust all account balances affected as of the date of the change. In the first set of financial statements after the change, a disclosure note describes the change and justifies the new method as preferable. It also describes the effects of the change on all items affected, including the fact that the retained earnings balance was revised in the statement of shareholders’ equity.Melas Company changed from the LIFO to the FIFO inventory costing method on January 1, Year 3.

Last year there was no change in either the raw materials or the work in process beginning and ending inventories. However, finished goods, which had a beginning balance of $25,000, increased by $15,000. If the manufacturing costs incurred totaled $600,000 during the year, the cost of goods available for sale must have been:_______.a. $585,000
b. $600,000
c. $610,000
d. $625,000

Answers

Answer:

d. $625,000

Explanation:

cost of goods available for sale = cost of goods manufactured during the current period + finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period

  • cost of goods manufactured during the current period = $600,000
  • finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period = $25,000

cost of goods available for sale = $600,000 + $25,000 = $625,000

cost of goods sold = cost of goods available for sale - ending inventory = $625,000 - $40,000 = $585,000

Final answer:

The Cost of Goods Available for Sale is calculated by adding the Beginning Inventory and the Manufacturing Costs together, resulting in a total of $625,000.

Explanation:

To compute the Cost of Goods Available for Sale, you would add your Beginning Inventory (the cost of the goods on hand at the start of the period) to the cost of the purchases made during the period - which, in this case, would be the manufacturing costs. Given that there were no changes in the raw materials or work in process inventory and since the manufacturing costs incurred totaled $600,000, we can outline the following:

Beginning Inventory of finished goods = $25,000

Manufacturing costs incurred = $600,000

Thus, to calculate the Cost of Goods Available for Sale:

Cost of Goods Available for Sale = Beginning Inventory + Manufacturing Costs=> $25,000 + $600,000 = $625,000

So, the Cost of Goods Available for Sale is $625,000.
