Answer:
The decision making skill because it's hard for a judge to make the right decision.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash inflows:
Year 1= $11,000
Year 2= $24,000
Year 3= $36,000
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Isolating PV:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
Year 1= 11,000/(1.12)= $9,821.43
Year 2= 24,000/(1.12^2)= $19,132.65
Year 3= 36,000/(1.12^3)= $25,624.09
Total= $54,578.17
Answer:
-9.92%
Explanation:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
- Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
- Re = cost of equity = ?
- P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
- g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%
Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g
Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%
Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%
Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.
