The answer is below
Explanation:
a) The dividend growth rate is given as D2/D1 - 1
Year Dividend Growth rate
1 $1.25
2 $1.33 ($1.33/ $1.25 - 1) 6.4%
3 $1.4 ($1.4/$1.33 - 1) 5.26%
4 $1.51 ($1.51/$1.4 -1) 7.86%
The arithmetic average growth rate is the average of all the growth rates.
Arithmetic average growth rate = (6.4% + 5.26% + 7.86%) / 3 = 6.51%
The cost of annuity = (cost of common stock / Selling stock price) * 100% + Average growth rate
The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.51% = 10.49%
b) The geometric growth rate is given as:
geometric average growth rate =
The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.5% = 10.48%

Answer:
A gain of $2, 500 will be reported on the income statement.
Explanation:
When a bond is issued at par it means that there are no discounts or bond premium. Rather the bonds that are issued at par will be sold at face value.
This means that the bond's contract and market rates are equal.
Therefore in this scenario one fifth of the bond was sold at $97,500.
Value of the bond is $500,000, so the market value of portion of bond sold is:
(1/5)* 500,000= $100,000
However the amount payable is $97,500
Profit made= Market price - Amount payable
Profit made = 100,000 - 97,500= $2,500 gain
Answer:

Explanation:
Calculation for what will the investment be worth after 16 years
Rule of 72 is the rule or methods which help in estimating an investment's doubling time.
Therefore According to the rule of 72 what we are going to do is to double the amount of money invested in the Certificate of deposit which was $550
Hence,
Since $550 was invested at an annual interest rate of 4.5%. Thus the rule of 72 tells us that the money will double every 16 years,
Approximately:
Years Balance
Now $550
16 $1,100
( The amount of $550 doubles every 16 years)
Therefore what the investment be worth after 16 years will be $1,100
