Based on the scenario analysis on stocks and bonds, we know the following:

Treasury bonds will provide a higher return in a recession than in a boom.
The expected return of Bonds is 9.8% and that of stocks is 11.6%.
The standard deviation of Bonds is 9.24% and that of stock is 11.76%.

<h3>What does the scenario analysis on Bonds and Stocks show?</h3>

In a recession, Bond returns will be 15%. This is much higher than Bond returns in a boom of only 5%.

The expected return on bonds will be:

= ∑(Probability of Scenario x Returns in scenario)

= (0.30 x 15%) + (0.60 x 8%) + (0.10 x 5%)

= 9.8%

The expected return on stocks will be:

= (0.30 x -6%) + (0.60 x 18%) + (0.10 x 26%)

= 11.6%

Using a spreadsheet, you can input the expected returns of the stocks and the bonds to find the standard deviation to be 9.24% and 11.76%, respectively.

Universal Laser, Inc., just paid a dividend of $3.10 on its stock. The growth rate in dividends is expected to be a constant 6 p

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Ans. The current price of the stock is $56.82

Explanation:

Hi, well, the problem here is that we have different discount rates, in other words the required rate of return for the stock changes several times, therefore we are going to break this problem in 3 parts, or bring to present value all the cash flows in 3 steps. Let´s start with the value of the dividends.

We have to use the following formula.

$Dn=D_{(n-1)} *(1+g)$

Where, D(n-1) is last dividend and Dn is the dividend that we are looking for, for example, D1 = 3.10*(1+0.06)=3.29, D2=3.29*(1+0.06)=3.48, and so forth. The amount to pay on dividends per share is,

D1=3.29; D2=3.48; D3=3.69; D4=3.91; D5=4.15; D6=4.40; D(7)=4.66

Since the first 3 years are to be discounted at a 15%, this is how the formula should look like.

$PV(1)=\frac{D1}{(1+r(1))^{1} } +\frac{D2}{(1+r(1))^{2} } +\frac{D3}{(1+r(1))^{3} }$

$PV(1)=\frac{3.29}{(1+0.15)^{1} } +\frac{3.48}{(1+0.15)^{2} } +\frac{3.69}{(1+0.15)^{3} }=7.92$

Now, for the second part, we have to bring all cash flows to year 3 at r(2)=13% and then bring it to present value at r(1)=15%. This is because we have 2 different discount rates, this is as follows.

$PV(2)=(\frac{D4}{(1+r(2))^{1} } +\frac{D5}{(1+r(2))^{2} } +\frac{D6}{(1+r(2))^{3} })*\frac{1}{((1+r(1)^{3} }$

$PV(2)=(\frac{3.91}{(1+0.13)^{1} } +\frac{4.15}{(1+0.13)^{2} } +\frac{4.40}{(1+0.13)^{3} })*\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } =6.42$

Finally, we need to bring all the future cash flows from year 7 and beyond, notice that we need to use the return rate r(3) to bring everything to year 6, then we have to bring it to year 3 and then to present value, everything as follows.

$PV(3)=(\frac{D7}{(r(3)-g)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(2))^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+r(1))^{3} } )$

$PV(3)=(\frac{4.66}{(0.11-0.06)} )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.13)^{3} } )*(\frac{1}{(1+0.15)^{3} } )=42.48$

So, the price of the stock is PV(1) + PV(2) + PV(3), or:

$Price=7.92+6.42+42.48=56.82$

Price= $56.82/share

Best of luck.

White raven [17]

Answer:

The gain on retirement = $4,600

Explanation:

The gain or loss on retirement = Carrying Value of the Bonds - Call price of the Bonds

The gain or loss on retirement = $111,100 - $106,500

The gain on retirement = $4,600

Note: Par value will not be taken for the calculation of the above

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

D. Any advantage that one firm has will be short-lived.

Explanation:

With the three firms all producing the same product with similar resources in their production and distribution of their products, any advantage that a firm has over the others if any would not last long at all. This is because each firm is using similar technique in the same location. Hence, there's nothing special about one of the firms over the others.

The cost, in dollars, to produce x designer dog leashes is C ( x ) = 8 x + 3 , and the price-demand function, in dollars per lea

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

P (x) = 80x - 2x^2 - 3

Explanation:

The Profit function is the revenue minus the cost.

Revenue = Price x Quantity = X.px = x(88-2x) = 88x - 2x^2

Therefore the profit function P (x):

P (x) = 88x - 2x^2 - (8x+3)

P (x) = 80x - 2x^2 - 3

To maximise profit we use the 1st order condition: dP(x)/dq = 0

Therefore, 80 - 4x = 0

4x = 80

x = 20

So 20 leashes maximises profit.

P(x) = 80(20) - 2(20)^2 - 3

P = $803

The price to charge would be:

p (x) = 88 - 2(20) = $48

The best reason would be that the price is a bit expensive for a leash so most people would not buy it.
