In 2015, the Keenan Company paid dividends totaling $2,340,000 on net income of $13.6 million. Note...

In 2015, the Keenan Company paid dividends totaling $2,340,000 on net income of $13.6 million. Note that 2015 was a normal year and that for the past 10 years, earnings have grown at a constant rate of 7%. However, in 2016, earnings are expected to jump to $20.4 million and the firm expects to have profitable investment opportunities of $10.2 million. It is predicted that Keenan will not be able to maintain the 2016 level of earnings growth because the high 2016 earnings level is attributable to an exceptionally profitable new product line introduced that year. After 2016, the company will return to its previous 7% growth rate. Keenan's target capital structure is 40% debt and 60% equity.

    2. It continues the 2015 dividend payout ratio. Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round intermediate calculations.

    4. It employs a regular-dividend-plus-extras policy, with the regular dividend being based on the long-run growth rate and the extra dividend being set according to the residual dividend policy. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

    -Select-Policy 1Policy 2Policy 3Policy 4Item 6

  3. Assume that investors expect Keenan to pay total dividends of $7,000,000 in 2016 and to have the dividend grow at 7% after 2016. The stock's total market value is $200 million. What is the company's cost of equity? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost determined by the LIFO method or market for Robots, Inc. If the FIFO method had been used for the entire consolidated group, inventories after an adjustment to the lower-of-cost-or-market would have been approximately $2,000,000 and $3,800,000 at October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Inventory has been written down to estimated net realizable value, and results of operations for 2017, 2016, and 2015 include a corresponding charge of approximately $868,000, $960,000, and $273,000, respectively, which represents the excess of LIFO cost over market.

Inventory of $294,546 and $1,468,779 at October 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, shown on the balance sheet as a noncurrent asset represents that portion of the inventory that is not expected to be sold currently.

Reduction in inventory quantities during the years ended October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 resulted in liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at a lower cost prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of fiscal 2014 purchases. The effect of these reductions was to decrease the net loss by approximately $24,000, $157,000, and $90,000 at October 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

Instructions

(a)  

Comment on why Robots, Inc., might disclose how its LIFO inventories would be valued under FIFO.

(b)  

Why does the LIFO liquidation reduce operating costs?

(c)  

Comment on whether Robots, Inc. would report more or less income if it had been on a FIFO basis for all its inventory.
