Answer:
a. If dividends are annual and expected to be constant, what is the intrinsic value (fair price) of ABC stock?
P₀ = $0.26 / 12% = $2.16667 = $2.17
b. What is ABC's dividend yield?
$0.26 / $2.17 = 12%
c. From now on, assume that the dividend of 0.26 was a quarterly dividend. What is the quarterly discount rate?
12% / 4 = 3%
d. What is the intrinsic value if dividends are constant and quarterly?
P₀ = $0.26 / 3% = $8.66667 = $8.67
e. We now think that dividends will grow by 0.3% from quarter to quarter. The firm just paid the quarterly dividend of 0.26. What is the intrinsic value of ABC stock?
P₀ = ($0.26 x 1.003) / (3% - 0.3%) = $9.6585 = $9.66
f. A different analyst thinks that ABC's dividends will grow by 5% for the next 4 quarters, and then grow by 0.3% thereafter. What is the intrinsic value?
Div₀ = $0.26
Div₁ = $0.273
Div₂ = $0.287
Div₃ = $0.301
Div₄ = $0.316
Div₅ = $0.317
terminal value in 4 quarters = $0.317 / (3% - 0.3%) = $11.74
P₀ = $0.273/1.03 + $0.287/1.03² + $0.301/1.03³ + $0.316/1.03⁴ + $11.74/1.03⁴ = $0.265 + $0.271 + $0.275 + $0.281 + $10.43 = $11.522

Answer: Rs. 120,000
Explanation:
At the end of the year, both assets and liabilities had doubled. New asset and liability figures are therefore:
Assets = Rs. 200,000
Liabilities = Rs. 100,000
Net income is part of equity and as there is no equity, net income must be the entire equity.
Assets = Equity + Liabilities
200,000 = Equity + 100,000
Equity = 200,000 - 100,000
= Rs. 100,000
From this Net income, dividends were distributed to the tune of Rs. 20,000. This should be added back to see the full figure.
= 100,000 + 20,000
= Rs. 120,000
Answer:
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Explanation:
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a legal framework which was passed by the 107th U.S Congress on the 30th of July, 2002. The law required that investment banking be completely made rid of research analysts who works at a broker-dealer firms, so that the analysts are not influenced to write favorable reports to enhance their potential investment banking businesses.
Hence, the legislation that requires a broker-dealer's research analysts to be completely separated from that firm's investment banking department is the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
<em>It is a law that imposes a stiffer penalty for any securities related law break offence by the accountants, auditors etc by mandating strict reforms to the existing securities regulations. </em>
