Answer:
A) $1384.24
Explanation:
Terminal Value = Free Cash Flow (FCF) of last forecast *(1+ perpetual growth rate)/(discount rate – perpetual growth rate)
FCF of last forecast = $88*(1+10%)^2 = $106.48
Gonzales Corporationʹs expected terminal enterprise value in year 2 = $106.48 * (1+4%)/(12%-4%) = $1382.24
Answer:
$28.57
Explanation:
Current price = D1/(Required return-Growth rate)
D1 (Next dividend) = $2
Required return = 10% = 0.1
Growth rate = 3% = 0.03
Current price = $2/(0.1-0.03)
Current price = $2 / 0.07
Current price = $28.57143
Current price = $28.57
Hence, i will be willing to pay $28.57 for a share of Merck stock.
Answer:
d. Cost cutting in one area of the value chain might increase costs in another.
Explanation:
Although cost leadership is an efficient way to dominate the competition,it does have potential pitfalls if not executed correctly. For example, if operating cost is decreased, the changed product feature may imply a higher marketing cost afterward. In order to be truly efficient, the cost leadership strategy has to be implemented in such a way, so it doesn't impact other value chain costs negatively (increasing them).
Answer:
84%

Divide the finance charge by the loan amount. In this case, $3,400 divided by $24,500 equals 0.138
Multiply the result by 365 to get 50.4
Divide the result by the term of the loan. In this case, 50.4 divided by 60 is 0.84
Multiply the result by 100 to turn the answer into a percentage 84%
