This can be a deterrent for engaging in practices that are ethically wrong during underwriting process.
Knowing that they could be fined large amount of money if found to be engaging in acts that ethically incorrect will serves to discourage investment banking firms from such acts.<span />

ABC Co. has 165 million shares outstanding and expects earnings at the end of this year of $2.05 billion. ABC plans to pay out 4
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Share price = $85.684

Explanation:

It is given that  ,Ke = cost of equity = 15% ,g = Growth = 9.2%%  and Dividend and Repurchase = 40%

Now we know that

PV = CF /(Ke- g)

PV = $2.05 billion*0.4 / (0.15-0.092) = 0.84 billion /0.058

=$14137931034.483

Share price = $14137931034.483 / 165000000 million

Share price = $85.684

A company currently pays a dividend of $2.8 per share (D0 = $2.8). It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a ra
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Intrinsic value: 53.41 dollars

Explanation:

First, we use the CAPM model to know the value of the stock

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)  

risk free 0.085

premium market =(market rate - risk free) = 0.045

beta(non diversifiable risk) 1.3

Ke= 0.085 + 1.3 (0.045)  

Ke 0.14350

Now we need to know the present value of the future dividends:

D0 = 2.8

D1 = D0 x (1+g) = 2.8 * 1.23 = 3.444

D2 3.444 x 1.23 = 4.2361200

The next dividends, which are at perpetuity will we solve using the dividned grow model:

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

In this case dividends will be:

4.23612 x 1.07 = 4.5326484

return will be how return given by CAPM and g = 7%

plug this into the Dividend grow model.

\frac{4.5326484}{0.1435 - 0.07} = Intrinsic \: Value

value of the dividends at perpetity: 61.6686857

FInally is important to note this values are calculate in their current year. We must bring them to present day using the present value of a lump sum:

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

\frac{3.444}{(1 + 0.1435)^{1} } = PV

3.011805859

\frac{4.23612}{(1 + 0.1435)^{2} } = PV

3.239633762

\frac{61.6686857}{(1 + 0.1435)^{2}} = PV

47.16201531

We add them and get the value of the stock:

53.413455

enyata [817]

Answer:

Choice of forum clause.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Notren, Inc., a U.S. company, and SWT, a Singapore company, entered into a contract under which SWT is to ship party supplies to Notren.

In the contract agreement, one of the terms of states; "Any disputes that arise under this contract will be resolved in the courts of Singapore."

Hence, this contract term is a choice of forum clause.

A choice of forum clause can be defined as a contractual provision in a contract in which the involved parties stipulates the place of jurisdiction, choice of arbitrators, conciliators, or group of arbitrator or conciliators for any lawsuit, litigations, arbitration, or conciliation arising from the particular contract. In this case, the place of legal jurisdiction is the court of Singapore.

Additionally, a contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law. Also, mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. Therefore, mutual assent connotes agreement, acceptance and consent to a contract by both parties.

This ultimately implies that, both Notren Inc. and SWT are in a contract as a result of mutual assent between the two (2) parties.
