Answer: Current Price $26.65
Explanation:
Rate of return = 12.5%
dividends = $1.98
Expected Price (in a year from now) Pe= $28
Current price = Pc
R = (Pe - Pc + D)/Pa
0.1250 = (28 - Pc + 1.98)/Pc
28 - Pc + 1.98 = 0.1250Pc
-Pc - 0.1250Pc = - 28 - 1.98
- 1.125Pc = -29.98
Pc = -29.98/(-1.1250Pc) = 26.64888889
Pc = $ 26.65
Answer:
Mergers and acquisitions consist of either joining two or more firms, or having one firm acquire another firm.
The rationale behind a merger or acquisiton is always strategic: a merger or an acquisition is carried out with the goal of improving the economic position and performance of the firms involved.
Some business strategies that can be implemented by a merger or acquisition are:
- Horizontal integration: companies that sell similar products merge in order to join forces and expand their market reach.
- Vertical integration: companies in the same industry, but that sell different products (for example, one company sells cars and the other sells bikes) merge in order to expand their market share.
- Conglomerate formation: companies in different industries join in order to expand their markets even more.
B seems like the most reasonable
Firm b pays a constant dividend (D0) = $9.50
Number of years (N) = 11 years
Rate of return on the stock ( R ) = 11%
The share price of the stock (P0) = Present value of dividend for 11 years at 11%
P0 = D0*PVIFA (k%,n)
P0 = $9.50*PVIFA(11%,11)
P0 = $9.50*6.20625
P0 = $58.96
Hence, the price of the stock is $58.96
