The option A is correct.

Stock in a start-up company is an example of high-risk investment.

You are considering purchasing stock in Canyon Echo. You feel the company will increase its dividend at 4.2 percent indefinitely

mylen [45]

Answer:

$54.35

Explanation:

The computation of the price per share of the common stock is shown below:

= Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend is

= $3.23 + $3.23 × 4.2%

= $3.23 + 0.13566

= $3.37

And, the other items would remain the same

So, the price per share is

= $3.37 ÷ (10.4% - 4.2%)

= $3.37 ÷ 6.2%

= $54.35

ioda

Answer: See Explanation

Explanation:

You didn't give the methods to use but let me use 2 main methods.

First, let's use the Straight line Depreciation. This will be:

= ($71000 + $3000 + $2000 - $3000) / 5

= $73000/5

= $14600

Year 1 Depreciation = $14600

Year 2 depreciation = $14600

Secondly, let's use the double declining method of Depreciation will be:

= 1/5 × 2

= 0.2 × 2

= 0.4

= 40%

Year 1 depreciation will be:

= 76000 × 40%

= 76000 × 0.4

= $30400

Year 2 Depreciation will be:

= ($76000 - $30400) × 40%

= $45600 × 40/100

= $45600 × 0.4

= $18240
