If the stock currently sells for $65, what is your best estimate of the company’s cost of equity capital using the arithmetic average growth rate in dividends? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

Answer:

Growth rate (g) = n-1√(<u>Latest dividend)</u>     - 1

                                      Current  dividend

                          = 4-1√($2.49/2.20)   -1  

                         = 3√(1.1318)  -1  

                        = 1.04  -  1

                        = 0.04 = 4%

Ke = Do<u>(1 + g) </u>  +  g

               Po

Ke =  $2.57(<u>1  +  0.04</u>)  + 0.04

                         65

Ke = 0.04 + 0.04

Ke = 0.08 = 8%

Explanation:

In this  case, we need to calculate the growth rate using the above formula. Then, the cost of equity will be  calculated. Cost of equity is a function of current dividend paid subject to growth rate divided by current market price.

Which one of the following is NOT likely to be a result of deflation? Question 1 options: Menu costs will increase People will b
suter [353]

Answer:

Wealth will be redistributed from creditors to debtors

Explanation:

Deflation refers to the general fall in the price level of goods and services when rate of inflation becomes lesser than 0%.

Due to the fall in the price level, goods and services become cheaper, credit providers reduce the quantum of credit provided.

Fall in the prices leads to lower expenditure by the purchasers owing to lower level of confidence and such buyers delay their purchases.

Deflation increases the purchasing power of consumers since at the same level of income, buyers can now buy more compared to previously.

Hence, those who earn fixed pension observe an increase in the value of such pension.
