zvonat [6]

Answer:

Stock is overpriced/ overvalued.
Sell if you own it.
Don't buy if you don't.

Explanation:

Use CAPM to find the required return on the stock:

Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)

= 2.5% + 1.3 * (7% - 2.5%)

= 8.35%

Price based on Constant Dividend Growth Model (CDGM):

Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)

Next dividend = 1.40 * ( 1 + 4%)

= $1.456

Price = 1.456 / (8.35% - 4%)

= $33.47

<em>Stock is selling for $35. It is overvalued. Don't buy the stock. Sell if you have the stock. </em>

NeTakaya

Answer:

Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94

Explanation:

<em>The Future value (FV) of an investment is the total amount (principal plus interest) that will accumulate in the future where interest is paid and compounded at a particular rate per period for a certain number of periods.</em>

This can be done using the formula below

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV- Future Value

PV- amount invested, n- number of years, r - interest rate

The amount due after 19 years would be determined in two steps

Step 1: FV of 24,500 at 5.5% for 8 years

FV = 24,500× (1+0.055)^8 =37,599.819

Step 2 : FV of 37599.81962 invested for 11 years at 4.9% p.a

FV = ? P=37,599.81, n- 11, r- 4.9%

FV = 37,599.81 × (1.049)^11= 63,637.94

Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94
