Answer:

cannot sue John for the extra $250 asJohn made the promise to him based on past consideration.

Explanation:

When Gerald was helping John build the garage, there was no agreement between them on payment for services. After the two weeks John made the promise to pay Gerald.

This is not a binding promise as John is paying Gerald at his own discretion as a past consideration, since no contract was agreed between them.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

$81.52

Explanation:

The current share price is the present value of future dividends as well as the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 6 as shown thus:

Current dividend=$3.95

Year 1 dividend=$3.95*(1+5%)=$4.15

Year 2 dividend=$4.15*(1+5%)=$4.36

Year 3 dividend=$4.36*(1+5%)=$4.58

The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the FIRST 3 years above is 14%

Year 4 dividend=$4.58*(1+5%)=$4.81

Year 5 dividend=$4.81*(1+5%)=$5.05

Year 6 dividend=$5.05*(1+5%)=$5.30

The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the NEXT 3 years above is 12%

Terminal value of dividend=Year 6 dividend*(1+growth rate)/(rate of return-growth rate)

growth rate=5%

rate of return=10%(rate of return thereafter)

terminal value=$5.30*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)

terminal value=$111.30

current share price=$4.15/(1+14%)+$4.36/(1+14%)^2+$4.58/(1+14%)^3+$4.81/(1+12%)^4+$5.05/(1+12%)^5+$5.30/(1+12%)^6+$111.30/(1+10%)^6

current share price=$81.52
