When one group controls an industry or market by being the only provider, this is called MONOPOLY.

Mono - Greek monos means one or single
Poly - Greek polein means to sell.

Monopoly is a market where only one sells a certain good or service. In this type of market there is no competition thus the monopolist is not driven to improve his commodity because consumers have no other choice but to buy his product.

a. MF Corp. has an ROE of 16% and a plowback ratio of 50%. If the coming year's earnings are expected to be $2 per share, at wha

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Return on equity(r) = 0.16

Plowback ratio(b) = 50 = 0.5

Earnings per share(EPS) = $2

D1 = 50% x $2 = $1

Cost of equity(Ke) = 0.12

Growth rate(g) = b x r

= 0.5 x 0.16

= 0.08 = 8%

Current market price(Po) = D1/Po + g

= $1/0.12 - 0.08

= $25

Market price in 3 years = Po(1+g)n

= $25(1+0.08)3

= $25(1.08)3

= $31.49

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate growth rate by multiplying the plowback ratio by return on equity. Then, we will calculate the current market price as shown above. Thereafter, we will subject the current market price to a 3-year growth rate to calculate the market price in 3 year's time

During 2020, XYZ Corporation had 1,000,000 shares of common stock and 50,000 shares of 6% preferred stock outstanding. The prefe

motikmotik

Answer:

XYZ Corporation

a. Basic earnings per share = $6,000,000/1,000,000

= $6.00

b. Diluted earnings per share = $6,000,000/1,010,500

= $5.94

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Outstanding shares December 31, 2020:

Common stock = 1,000,000 shares

6% Preferred stock = 50,000 shares

Dividends declared:

Preferred $200,000

Common $400,000

Issue of shares during the year:

6% Convertible Bonds = $2,100,000

Each $1,000 bond convertible into = 5 common shares

= $2,100,000/$1,000 * 5 = 10,500

Net income for the year = $6,200,000

Preferred dividend = (200,000)

Available for common stock = $6,000,000 ($6,200,000 - $200,000)

Income tax rate = 25%

Wilson Co. is considering two mutually exclusive projects. Both require an initial investment of $10,000 at t = 0. Project X has

arlik [135]

Answer:

d. $1,376.74

Explanation:

NPV of Project X is

Year Cash outflow/inflow Present value factor Present value

0 -$10,000.00 1 -$10,000.00

1 $6,000.00 0.900901 $5,405.41

2 $8,500.00 0.811622 $6,898.79

NPV $2,304.20

NPV of Project Y is

Year Cash outflow/inflow Present value factor Present value

0 -$10,000.00 1 -$10,000.00

1 $4,600.00 0.900901 $4,144.14

2 $4,600.00 0.811622 $3,733.46

3 $4,600.00 0.731191 $3,363.48

4 $4,600.00 0.658731 $3,030.16

Total $4,271.25

Formula for calculation of Equivalent annual annuity is given by:

C = r*(NPV)/(1-(1+r)-n)

Applying the formula for project X, NPV =$2304,20

r = 11%, n = 2

Substituting the values in the above formula

C = 11%*$2304,20/(1-(1+11%)-2

=$1345.38

Applying the formula for project Y, NPV =$4271.25

r = 11%, n = 4

Substituting the values in the above formula

C = 11%*$4271.25/(1-(1+11%)-4

= $1376.74

Therefore, most profitable project is Y and its equivalent annual annuity = $1376.74.
