Answer and Explanation:

Dividend = $1.2

Growth (g ) = 18%

Time = 4 year

Discount rate = rs = 15%

Based on the above information, the calculations are as follows

a) Expected Values is

Div 1 = Div 0 ×  (1 + g)

Div 1 = $1.2 × (1 + .18) = $1.42

Div 2 = $1.42 × (1 +.18) = $1.68

Div 3 = $1.68 × (1 + .18) = $1.98

Div 4 = $1.98 × (1 + .18) = $2.34

b) Expected Stock price 4 years from now, if given discount rate is 15%.

Div 5 = Div 4 × (1 + g)

         = $2.34 × (1 + .03)

         = $2.41

Now 4 year price is

= Div 5 ÷ (Rs - g)

= $2.41 ÷ (.15 - .03)

= $2.41 ÷ .12

= $20.083

c) Today stock Price is

= [PVF15%,1 × DIV 1] + [PVF15%,2 × DIV 2] + [PVF15%,3 × DIV 3] + [PVF15%,4 × DIV 4]  + [PVF15%,4 × TV]

where,

Present Value Factor (PVF) =1 ÷ (1 + r)^n

= [0.08695 × $1.42] + [0.7561 × $1.68] + [0.6575 × $1.98] + [0.5718 × $2.34] +[0.5718 × $20.083]

= $0.123 + $1.270 + $1.301 + $1.338 + $11.483

= $15.515 per share

d) Dividend Yield is

= Div 1 ÷ Price

=$1.42 ÷ $15.515

= 0.0915 or 9.15%

e) Next Year Stock Price is

=[PVF15%,1 × DIV 2] + [PVF15%,2 × DIV 3] + [PVF15%,3 × DIV 4] + [PVF15%,3 × TV]

=[0.08695 × $1.68] + [0.7561 × $1.98] + [0.6575 × $2.34] + [0.6575 × $20.083]

= $0.146 + $1.4971 + $1.5386 + $13.205

= $16.387 per share

f) Expected Rate of Return is

= [P1 - P0 + D1] ÷ P

= [$16.387 - $15.515 + 1.42] ÷ $15.515

= 0.14771 or 14.77%

Suppose that the U.S. textile industry is competitive and there is no international trade in textiles. In long-run equilibrium,
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Since we are not given the equilibrium price or quantity, I drew a graph showing Pe and Qe as them.

If foreign firms start selling in the domestic market at a higher price, then the curve shouldn't modify, but if they start to sell at a lower price, the equilibrium price and quantity will shift to the left.

Pai = price after imports

Qai = quantity after imports

The second graph shows the equilibrium point for an individual firm.
