Answer:

17.19   years

Explanation:

The triple value of the earnings per share=$3.50*3=$10.50

The growth rate is 6.6%

Using the nper formula in excel, we can determine the number of years earnings per share would triple

=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)

rate is 6.6%

pmt is not applicable to the scenario ,hence it is zero

pv is the current earnings per share

fv is the future earnings per share

=nper(6.6%,0,-3.5,10.5)= 17.19

A convertible preferred stock is convertible at $10, pays a 4% annual dividend, is callable at $110, and is trading at a current
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

$11.60

Explanation:

In ascertaining the parity price of the common stock, we need to ascertain the conversion ratio which is the par price of the preferred stock divided by the convertible price

The par value of the preferred stock=$100(since call price is $110)

convertible price=$10

conversion ratio=$100/$10=10

The parity price is the current market price of the preferred stock divided by the conversion ratio

Parity price=$116/10

Parity price=$11.60

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The new portfolio beta is 1.31 rounded off to two decimal places.

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the sum of the weighted average betas of the individual stock's that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated using the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

  • w is the weightage of each stock in the portfolio

The beta of the portfolio when one stock with a beta of 1 is sold is,

The sum of individual stock betas for 19 stocks is = 20 * 1.31  -  1 * 1  = 25.2

The new portfolio beta when one stock with a beta of 0.97 is added is,

Portfolio beta = (25.2 + 0.97) / 20

Portfolio beta = 1.3085 rounded off to 1.31

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

No of clown sold in 2010 = 17

No of clown sold in 2015 = 39

Unit rate of change = 39 - 17/17 x 100

Unit rate of change = 129.41%

Explanation

The unit rate of change from 2010 to 2015 is equal to the number of clown sold in 2015 minus the number of clown sold in 2010 divided by the number of clown sold in 2010 multiplied by 100.

The AFN equation assumes that the ratios of assets and liabilities to sales remain constant over time. However, this assumption
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The answer is A True

Explanation:

AFN which is "additional funds needed" is a concept used commonly in business looking to expand operations and influence. Since a business that seeks to increase its sales level will require more assets to meet that stated goal, some provision must be made to accommodate the change in assets. AFN is a way of calculating how much of new funds will be needed, so that the firm can realistically look at whatever or not they will be able to generate the additional funds and therefore be able to achieve the higher sales level.

Economies of scale are cost advantage reaped by companies when production becomes efficient. Firms can achieve economies of scale by increasing production and lowering cost. This does not involve calculating of new funds needed for a realistic expansion of the firm.

Lumpy assets are assets that cannot be acquired in small increments but must be obtained in large, discrete units.

Excess Capacity indicates to a situation in which the demand for a company's goods and services is less than its production capacity. This situation can arise in any firm during  the low point in a seasonal industry, where capacity is maintained to match the peak part of the season.

A constant ration can not be meet in this condition of economies of scale, lumpy assets, and excess capacity as these conditions  can not be used in raising funds or additional funds that are needed by the industry in its expansion.
