Answer:
Required return is 8.75%
Explanation:
Given,
FV (Face Value) is $1,000
PV (present Value) is computed as:
PV = FV × Price
= $1,000 × 101.4%
= $1,014
Nper (Number of years) is 8 years
PMT (Monthly payment) is computed as:
PMT = FV × Coupon rate
= $1,000 × 9%
= $90
r (Required return) is computed by using the excel formula:
=Rate(nper, pmt, pv, fv, type)
= Rate (8,90,-1014,1000,0)
= 8.75%
Answer:
a. 7.83 percent
Explanation:
This is calculated by using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula as follows:
P = d / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1)
Where;
P = market price of the stock = $24.09
d = next year annual dividend = $1.26
r = cost of equity = ?
g = dividend growth rate = 2.6%, or 0.026
Substituting the values into equation and solve for r, we have:
24.09 = 1.26 / (r - 0.026)
24.09 (r - 0.026) = 1.26
24.09r - 0.62634 = 1.26
24.09r = 1.26 + 0.62634
24.09r = 1.88634
r = 1.88634 / 24.09
r = 0.0783038605230386, or 7.83038605230386%
Rounding to 2 decimal places. we have:
r = 7.83%
Therefore, the correct option is a. 7.83 percent.
Answer: d. Taxpayers may claim the carryback using Form 1045 at any time within three years of the due date of the return for the NOL year.
Explanation:
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, was signed into law in the wake of the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic that swept the nation in 2020.
Under this Act, all NOLs may be carried back five years and taxpayrs were allowed to waive their carryback period by attaching a statement to their 2020 return.
The Act however, did not allow for taxpayers to claim their carryback using Form 1045 at any time within three years of the due date of the return for the NOL year as this Act was only passed to cushion the effects of the pandemic in 2020.
