A company currently pays a dividend of $3.4 per share (D0 = $3.4). It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a ra
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Current price of stock =$128.06

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the worth of an asset is the sum of the present values of its future cash flows discounted at the required rate of return.

The model is given as

P = D× g/(r-g)

P- price, D- dividend payable in year 1, r -cost of equity, g - growth rate in dividend

Cost of equity

The cost of equity can be calculated using the Capital Asset Model (CAPM).

Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)  

Ke =? , Rf- 6.5%, (Rm-Rf)- 1.5, β- 1.3

Ke=6.5% + 1.3× (1.5)= 8.45%

Stock price

PV of dividend in year 1 = 3.4× 1.17× 1.0845^(-1)=3.668

PV of dividend in year 2 =  3.4× 1.17^2× 1.0845^(-2) = 3.9572

<em>PV of dividend in year 3</em>

This will be done in two(2) steps:

Step 1- PV in year 2 terms

3.4× 1.17^2× 1.05/(0.0845- 0.05)= 141.651

Step 2- PV in year 0

141.6513913× 1.0845^(-2)= 120.4375

Current piece of stock =  3.668  + 3.957  + 120.4375 = 128.062

Current price of stock =$128.062

raketka [301]

Answer:

c. 0.25

Explanation:

Cross-price elasticity = [(Q2-Q1/)((Q1-Q2)/2) * 100] / [(P2-P1/)((P1-P2)/2) * 100]

Cross-price elasticity = [(65-55)/((65+55)/2)*100] / [(2-1)/((1+2)/2)*100]

Cross-price elasticity = 16.6667/66.6667

Cross-price elasticity = 0.25000037

Cross-price elasticity = 0.25

You have $130,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect
Finger [1]

Answer:

Let X be the amount invested in stock A

Let 1-X be the amount invested in stock B

Expected rate = (Required rate of X* X) + (Required ratebof Y * (1-X))

0.146 = (0.128 * X) + (0.078 * (1-X))

0.146 = 0.128X + 0.078 -  0.078X

0.146 - 0.078 = 0.128X - 0.078X

X = 0.068/0.05

X = 1.36

Amount to be invested in Stick X = $130,000 * 1.36

= $176,000

Amount to be invested in Stock Y = (1-X) * Available amount

= (1-1.36) * $130,000

= $46,800

Therefore, the amount to be invested in Stick Y = -$46,800

Calculation of the portfolio beta

bp = w1b1 + w2b2 + ........ + wnbn

bp = (1.36*1.3) + ((-0.36) * 1.05)

bp = 1.768 - 0.378

bp = 1.29

Therefore, the portfolio beta is 1.39

disa [49]

Answer:

$14.50

Explanation:

Given;

Charge for first 2 hours = $5.00 and

$0.75 for each additional half hour or part thereof.

If he parks his car for 8 hours, then the first 2 hours will be charged at a rate of $5.00

Time left to charge is 6 hours. This will be charged at a rate of $0.75

Therefore cost to Sam for parking his car for 8 hours

= (2 × $5) + (6 × $0.75)

= $10 + $4.50

= $14.50

Sam paid $14.50 for parking.
