Answer:
a. ROE (r) = 13% = 0.13
EPS = $3.60
Expected dividend (D1) = 50% x $3.60 = $1.80
Plowback ratio (b) = 50% = 0.50
Cost of equity (ke) = 12% = 0.12
Growth rate = r x b
Growth rate = 0.13 x 0.50 = 0.065
Po= D1/Ke-g
Po = $1.80/0.12-0.065
Po = $1.80/0.055
Po = $32.73
P/E ratio = <u>Current market price per share</u>
Earnings per share
P/E ratio = <u>$32.73</u>
$3.60
P/E ratio = 9.09
b. ER(S) = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
ER(S) = 5 + 1.2(13 - 5)
ER(S) = 5 + 9.6
ER(S) = 14.6%
Explanation:
In the first part of the question, there is need to calculate the expected dividend, which is dividend pay-our ratio of 50% multiplied by earnings per share. We also need to calculate the growth rate, which is plowback ratio multiplied by ROE. Then, we will calculate the current market price, which equals expected dividend divided by the difference between return on stock (Ke) and growth rate. Finally, the price-earnings ratio is calculated as current market price per share divided by earnings per share.
In the second part of the question, Cost of equity (return on stock) is a function of risk-free rate plus beta multiplied by market risk-premium. Market risk premium is market return minus risk-free rate.
Answer:
Short Interest and the Advance/Decline line
Explanation:
The Short Interest and the advance/descent line, also known as the AD line, is an indicator of market amplitude that gives the same weight to all the values of an index or market. The advance/descent line, also known as the AD line, is an indicator of market breadth that gives the same weight to all the values of an index or market.
The advance / descent line is an indicator of market breadth because it informs us of the general market movement. Similarly, when we say that it gives the same weight to all stock index values, we are saying that for the forward / down line all values are equally important.
What really interests this indicator, being of market breadth, is to see if the price movement is accompanied by the movement of the indicator.

Answer:
5.784%
Explanation:
PV = $91000
PMT = -$1750
N = 60
FV = $0
<em>Using the financial calculator to solve for I/Y</em>
Interest yield = CPT I/Y(91000, -1750, 60, 0)
Interest yield = 0.00482
Interest yield = 0.482%
Highest rate APR = 0.482%*12
Highest rate APR = 5.784%
So, assuming monthly compounding, the highest rate i can afford on a 60-month APR loan is 5.784%.
