Answer:

The value of the stock = $19.64

Explanation:

According to the dividend valuation model, the value of a stock is the present value of the expected future cash flows from the stock discounted at the the required rate of return.

Year Workings Present value(PV)

1 $1 × (1.22) × 1.11^(-1) = 1.10

2 $1 × (1.22)^2 ×(1.11)^(-2) = 1.21

3 $1 × ((1.22)^2 × (1.05))/0.11-0.05) = 21.35 ( PV in year 2 terms)

PV (in year 0) of Year 3 dividend = 21.35 × 1.11^(-2)

= 17.33 (see notes)

The value of the stock = $1.10+ $1.21 + 17.3

= $19.64

Notes:

Note the growth applied to year 3 dividend gives the PV in year 2 terms. So we need to re-discount again to year 0.

The value of the stock = $19.64

Jenna used the vendor bid analysis .

Option D

Explanation:

Vendor Bid Analysis is the tool of evaluating the proposals received by many suppliers to determine the cost of such a project. This can be done by taking into account the risk provided for project works (through quotations, deals, proposals, etc.).

The buyer's side can take account of documents from existing agreements, meeting qualitative needs, capability and infrastructure, establishing time limits for records, financial capacity, and services when analyzing the offers of a good or service.

This is not an official offer to purchase the property, but rather a public declaration that the seller isn't satisfied with the last offer which is used to keep the deal on track.

Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 6 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are curr

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds?

Laurel, Inc. = -8.11%

Hardy Corp. = -18.91%

B. If interest rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of these bonds be then?

Laurel, Inc. = +8.98%

Hardy Corp. = +25.49%

Explanation:

bonds with 6% semiannual coupons, sold at par $1,000

Laurel, Inc. bond maturity in 5 years

Hardy Corp. bond maturity in 18 years

the current price of a bond is the sum of the present value of its face value and coupons. I will use an annuity table to calculate PV of face value and an ordinary annuity table for the coupons:

Laurel, Inc.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.8203) + ($30 x 8.9826) = $820.30 + $269.48 = $1,089.78, % change = 89.78/1,000 = 8.98%

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.6756) + ($30 x 8.1109) = $675.60 + $243.33 = $918.93, % change = -81.07/1,000 = -8.11%

Hardy Corp.

market rate 4% = ($1,000 x 0.4902) + ($30 x 25.489) = $490.20 + $764.67 = $1,254.87, % change = 254.87/1,000 = 25.49%

market rate 8% = ($1,000 x 0.2437) + ($30 x 18.908) = $243.70 + $567.24 = $810.94, % change = -189.06/1,000 = -18.91%
