Present Value of Annuity is $1,263,487
Explanation:
A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity.
Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow
PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]
Where
P = Annual payment = $91,000
r = rate of return = 5.15%
n = number of years = 25 years
PV of annuity = $91,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.0515 )^-25 ) / 0.0515 ]
PV of Annuity = $1,263,487
Answer:
Predatory pricing.
Explanation:
When Lofonift Inc. introduced its flagship product, an MP3 player, it captured the MP3 player market by offering its product at the lowest price in the market. This gradually forced many of its competitors out of business. Once its competitors were out of business, Lofonift Inc. raised its prices. In this scenario, Lofonift Inc. most likely indulged in predatory pricing.
Predatory pricing is a strategy used by some business owners to reduce the cost of a particular commodity or item to the lowest possible amount such that the available competitors will be driven out of business.

Answer:
The cost of equity using the DCF method: 4.39%.
The cost of equity using the SML method: 15.01%.
Explanation:
a. The cost of equity using the DCF method:
We have: Current stock price = Next year dividend payment / ( Cost of equity - Growth rate) <=> Cost of equity = Next year dividend payment/Current stock price + Growth rate = 0.3 x 1.04/80 + 4% = 4.39%.
b. The cost of equity using the SML method:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - risk free rate); in which Risk free rate is rate on T-bill.
=> Cost of equity = 6.3% + 1.3 x ( 13% -6.3%) = 15.01%.
