Answer:

Answer: '1980'

Asbestos is usually found in buildings and structures before 1980

Explanation:

Asbestos also refer to six silicate naturally occurring mineral made of long and thin fibrous crystal. Each fiber has fibrils that cannot be seen by the naked eyes. These fibrils can escape out into the space by abrasions. Great heat resistivity is one of the attributes that made asbestos to be used in buildings. But as a result of the adverse health and safety risk it possesses, asbestos became illegal and condemned in 1980.

Asbestos used in ceilings release fiber when drilled while asbestos used as insulators in boilers, furnaces and pipes releases dust when they go off or worsen. Inhalation of these dust and fibers by human can cause adverse health issues like lungs cancer and asbestosis.

The two approved methods used to check for asbestos dust and fibrils are Polarized Light Microscopy and Transmission Electron Miscroscopy.

The market capitalization treasure on the stock of flex steel company is 12%. the expected ROE is 13% and the expected EPS are 3

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a. ROE (r) = 13% = 0.13

EPS = $3.60

Expected dividend (D1) = 50% x $3.60 = $1.80

Plowback ratio (b) = 50% = 0.50

Cost of equity (ke) = 12% = 0.12

Growth rate = r x b

Growth rate = 0.13 x 0.50 = 0.065

Po= D1/Ke-g

Po = $1.80/0.12-0.065

Po = $1.80/0.055

Po = $32.73

P/E ratio = Current market price per share

Earnings per share

P/E ratio = $32.73

$3.60

P/E ratio = 9.09

b. ER(S) = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)

ER(S) = 5 + 1.2(13 - 5)

ER(S) = 5 + 9.6

ER(S) = 14.6%

Explanation:

In the first part of the question, there is need to calculate the expected dividend, which is dividend pay-our ratio of 50% multiplied by earnings per share. We also need to calculate the growth rate, which is plowback ratio multiplied by ROE. Then, we will calculate the current market price, which equals expected dividend divided by the difference between return on stock (Ke) and growth rate. Finally, the price-earnings ratio is calculated as current market price per share divided by earnings per share.

In the second part of the question, Cost of equity (return on stock) is a function of risk-free rate plus beta multiplied by market risk-premium. Market risk premium is market return minus risk-free rate.
