Answer:
a. If dividends are annual and expected to be constant, what is the intrinsic value (fair price) of ABC stock?
P₀ = $0.26 / 12% = $2.16667 = $2.17
b. What is ABC's dividend yield?
$0.26 / $2.17 = 12%
c. From now on, assume that the dividend of 0.26 was a quarterly dividend. What is the quarterly discount rate?
12% / 4 = 3%
d. What is the intrinsic value if dividends are constant and quarterly?
P₀ = $0.26 / 3% = $8.66667 = $8.67
e. We now think that dividends will grow by 0.3% from quarter to quarter. The firm just paid the quarterly dividend of 0.26. What is the intrinsic value of ABC stock?
P₀ = ($0.26 x 1.003) / (3% - 0.3%) = $9.6585 = $9.66
f. A different analyst thinks that ABC's dividends will grow by 5% for the next 4 quarters, and then grow by 0.3% thereafter. What is the intrinsic value?
Div₀ = $0.26
Div₁ = $0.273
Div₂ = $0.287
Div₃ = $0.301
Div₄ = $0.316
Div₅ = $0.317
terminal value in 4 quarters = $0.317 / (3% - 0.3%) = $11.74
P₀ = $0.273/1.03 + $0.287/1.03² + $0.301/1.03³ + $0.316/1.03⁴ + $11.74/1.03⁴ = $0.265 + $0.271 + $0.275 + $0.281 + $10.43 = $11.522
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": You are usually not in charge.
Explanation:
Wage-earners are the people who live mainly thanks to the salary they receive. Under this category fall low-range workers whose base income is their source of income. Hardly ever low-range employees are assigned major tasks since they are subordinates, so the success or failure of a project does not rely directly on them since they are not the ones in charge.
Answer:
It is very simple, if your house burns down, the evidence is there. All you need to do it look at a house that burnt down either completely or partially, but its easy to verify.
On the other hand, if you report that a necklace was stolen, it is really difficult to verify. Unless it is a unique jewel that is worth a ton of money, you could have simply given it away as a gift and then report it as stolen. The opportunities for insurance fraud are many when dealing with jewelry or other valuable objects that can be moved around easily.
The second question about different grants of authority refer to the organizational structure of a company. E.g. a salesperson in Best Buy is able to sell any item or items to regular customers. But sometimes a large order comes and the company must decide whether to discount the price or not, and then management kicks in and decides. The same happens to insurance agents. A company decides that some agents deal with policies that involve X amount of risk. If the level of risk is higher, they must work with other agents that are authorized to deal with high risk policies. It is basically a clearance level where employees are authorized up to this amount, and above that amount, other employees must be involved.
More competitive the industry.
