Answer:

4) A global brand uses the same product formulation or service concept across multiple countries and cultures.

Explanation:

We use the term global brands to refer to brands that are sold almost everywhere and the companies that sell them use the same or similar marketing strategies in all the countries that they operate in. And the products themselves are very similar or identical in all the countries. E.g. Coca Cola is the most global multinational corporation and its brands are sold virtually in all the world (except for Cuba and North Korea), but Coke is basically the same product everywhere and the name only changes due to language differences.

What is the future value of a $500 annuity payment over eight years if interest rates are 14 per 14 percent

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

FV= $6,616.38

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual cash flow= $500

Number of periods (n)= 8

Interest rate= 14%

To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual cash flow

FV= {500*[(1.14^8) - 1]} / 0.14

FV= $6,616.38

b. Disagree as the values of the two companies are the same ( please see below Explanation for further clarification)

Explanation:

It is clear to determine that the value of debt and equity of the two firms is the present value of cash flow received in 1 year, discounted at 12%.

a-1.

In one year:

- Debt holder of Steinberg will receive $910,000 regardless of its EBIT. -=> Thus, Steinberg's debt present value = 910,000 / 1.12 = $812,500

- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Steinberg's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT - amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 910,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-910,000) = $2,270,000.

=> Thus, Steinberg's equity present value = $2,270,000/ 1.12 = $2,026,786

=> Value of Steinberg = D+E = 812,500 + 2,026,786 = $2,839,286 ( note: no tax applied)

a-2.

In one year:

- Debt holder of Dietrich will receive $1,200,000 when the business expands while only $1,100,000 when the business goes into recession (i.e business loss is 100,000): 0.8 x 1,200,000 + 0.2 x 1,100,000 = $1,180,000

=> Thus, Dietrich's debt present value = 1,180,000 / 1.12 = $1,053,571

- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Dietrich's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT - amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 1,200,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-1,100,000) = $2,000,000.

=> Thus, Dietrich's equity present value = 2,000,000 / 1.12 = $1,785,714

=> Value of Steinberg = D+E =$1,053,571+$1,785,714 = $2,839,286( note: no tax applied)

a-3.

From the calculation, it is clear that the values of the two companies are the same.

Assume that you purchased 140 shares of Misty Company stock for $78 a share, that you received an annual dividend of $1.60 a sha

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Return (%) = 17.43%

Explanation:

The return on investment is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.

Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.

Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.

Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:

Dividend= ($1.60× 140)= $224

Capital gains= (90-78) × 140= $1680

Total dollar return on Investment = $224+ $1680= $1904

Total return in (%) = Return/ cost of shares × 100

= 1904/ (140 × 78) × 100

= 17.43%
