Answer:

C. All else being equal, the growth rate of the dividends is greater than 2%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the fair price of a stock with a constant growth in dividends is as follows,

  • P = D1 / r-g
  • Where D1 is the dividend next period
  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends
  • P = 1.5 / 0.1 - 0.02 = 18.75
  • We are taking 1.5 as D1 as it is the dividend per share DeepMind will pay next year.

So, we will be willing to pay more than 18.75 if the fair price per share today is greater than 18.75. We check all the 3 options.

A. say the required rate is 10.1%

  • P = 1.5 / (0.101 - 0.02) = 18.52
  • So if the required rate of return increases from 10%, the fair price per share is falling and we will be willing to pay less than 18.75 per share.

B. P = 1.2 / (0.1 - 0.02) = 15

  • If D1 = 1.2,the fair price per share will be 15 which is less so we will not be willing to pay more than 15 for such share.

C. Say the growth rate in dividends is 2.1%

  • P = 1.5 / (0.1 - 0.021) = 18.99
  • The fair price per share increased to 18.99 if the growth rate in dividend increases by 0.1 percentage point. Thus, C is the correct answer

Alika [10]

Answer:

Economies of scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale is described as the cost benefit or advantage which is experienced through the firm, when it rises the output level. Under economies of scale, the fixed costs did not vary or change with decreases or increases in the units of the production volume and the variable costs are dependent with rise in the output.

So, in this case, when the circumference is doubled of the oil pipeline, more than the volume doubles. This technique is selected through the large firms or business as it will result in the economies of scale.

Consolidated Enterprises issues $1 million face value, five-year bonds with a coupon rate of 6.0 percent. At the time of issuanc
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$1,035,459.51

Explanation:

First we must determine the issuing value:

  • cash flow 1 = $60,000
  • cash flow 1 = $60,000
  • cash flow 1 = $60,000
  • cash flow 1 = $60,000
  • cash flow 1 = $1,060,000

using an excel spreadsheet to calculate the bond's price with a discount value of 5%:

the bonds were sold at $1,043,294.77

the effective interest expense = bond's price x market interest = $1,043,294.77  x 5% = $52,164.74

bond's value = bond's price - (coupon payment - effective interest) = $1,043,294.77 - ($60,000 - $52,164.74) = $1,035,459.51

cluponka [151]

IRR

Project A = 31%

Project B = 38%
