A consultant predicts that there is a 25 percent chance of earning $500,000 and a 75 percent chance of earning $100,000. The exp
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

$173,205

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

Given data:

Earning (X1) = $500,000

Chances of X1 (Y1) = 25%

Earning (X2) = $100,000

Chances of X2 (Y2) = 75%

Expected Profit (Z) = $200,000

Formula for solving the problem are as follows:

Standard deviation = [ (X1 - Z)^2 × Y1 + (X2 - Z)^2 × Y2 ]^1/2

By putting the value in the formula, we get

Standard deviation = [ ($500,000 - $200000)^2 × 0.25 + ($100,000 - $200,000)^2 × 0.75 ]^1/2

= [ $22,500,000,000 + $7,500,000,000 ]^1/2

= ($30,000,000,000)^1/2

= $173,205.08 or $173,205

Hence, $173,205 is the correct answer.

devlian [24]

Answer:

Price to pay now for the stock = $96.278

Explanation:

<em>The price of the stock would be the present value(PV) of the future cash flow expected from it discounted at the required rate of 13%</em>

<em>Hence we would add the present value of he dividend and the resent of he price at the end of the period</em>

PV = CF × (1+r)^(-n)

<em>CF- Cash Flow</em>

<em>R- rate of return- 13%</em>

<em>n- number of years</em>

PV of dividend =  2.60 × (1.13)^(-1) =  2.30

PV of stock price after a year = 120× (1.13)^(-1) = 93.97

Price to pay now for the stock =  2.30 + 93.97 = $96.278

Price to pay now for the stock = $96.278
