Which of the following is true about multicollinearity?

Komok [63]

Answer:

d. It is best measured using the statistic variance inflation factor (VIF).

Explanation:

Multicollinearity is an important issue in multiple regression model, having many independent/ explanatory variables. Multicollinearity is the situation in which two or more independent variables are highly correlated. It is problematic because it increases the standard error of independent variable coefficient & undermines its statistical significance

Variance Inflation Factor [VIF] is a check & corrective measure of multicollinearity.

VIF as a multicollinearity check : It quantifies the correlation between one explanatory variable with other explanatory variables.VIF = 1 implies there is no multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables); VIF upto 5 implies there is moderate multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables). VIF > 5 implies high multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables)
VIF as a multicollinearity correction : Calculating $Var (\beta j )$ = σ^2 / $[TSS j (1 - R^2j)]$ ; where TSS = total sum of square of variable j , σ^2 = j variance, R^2 j = R^2 from regressing all other independent variable on variable j

makvit [3.9K]

asset turnover ratio is the ratio of the value of a company's sales or revenues generated relative to the value of its assets. The Asset Turnover ratio can often be used as an indicator of the efficiency with which a company is deploying its assets in generating revenue. Given that the sales is 60k and the value of the asset is 370k, the ratio is simply the sales / value of assets which is 60/(370-88).

Colgate-Palmolive Company has just paid an annual dividend of . Analysts are predicting dividends to grow by per year over the n

denis23 [38]

The amount of $97.85 is the price that dividend-discount model predict that Colgate stock should sell for today

Given Information

Current dividend (D0) = $1.59

Dividend payments for next five years includes:

D1 = 1.59 +0.18

D1 = 1.77

D2 = 1.77 +0.18

D2 = 1.95

D3 = 1.95 +0.18

D3 = 2.13

D4 = 2.13 +0.18

D4 =2.31

D5 = 2.31 +0.18

D5 =2.49

Year Cash Flow PVF at 8.1% Present value

1 1.77 0.92506938 1.637372803

2 1.95 0.855753358 1.668719048

3 2.13 0.791631229 1.686174517

4 2.31 0.73231381 1.691644901

5 2.49 0.677441082 1.686828295

Present value of Dividends 8.3707

PV of remaining dividends in 5 year = D5 x (1+g)/(Ke-g))

PV of remaining dividends in 5 year = 2.49(1+0.061)/(0.081-0.061)

PV of remaining dividends in 5 year = $132.0945

Given that g=6.1%, ke=8.1%

PV of remaining dividends in year = 0 = PV of the remaining dividends in year 5* 1/(1+0.081)^5

= 132.0945 * 1/(1+0.081)^5

= $89.48624

As per dividend-discount model, Colgate stock should sell for today = PV of Dividends till 5th year + PV of Remaining Dividend at t=0

= $89.48624 + $8.3707

= $97.8531

= $97.85

Hence, the amount of $97.85 is the price that dividend-discount model predict that Colgate stock should sell for today.
