Cartels are corporations that control almost all of the production and sale of a single product.

1 answer:

7 0

FALSE. Cartels are NOT CORPORATIONS that control almost all of the production and sale of a single product.

A cartel is an agreement between competing firms to control prices of goods. They may also come into agreement to hinder the entry of a new competitor.

A cartel rises in an oligopoly. This means that few sellers are in the market and these sellers control the price and production of various goods.

crimeas [40]

Answer: ER(P) = Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

6 = 5 + β(17-5)

6 = 5 + β(12 )

6 - 5 = 12β

1 = 12β

β = 1/12

β = 0.083

Explanation: In determining the Beta of the stock, we need to apply capital asset pricing formula and then make Beta the subject of the formula. Other variables will be substituted with the exception of Beta, which becomes the subject of the formula.

PE and Terminal Stock Price [LO2] In practice, a common way to value a share of stock when a company pays dividends is to value

solong [7]

Answer:

$150.15

$92.31

Explanation:

Target stock price in year 5 = Earnings per share in year 5 x benchmark PE ratio

Earnings per share in year 5 = dividends per share in year 5/ pay-out ratio

Dividend in year 1 = $1.15 x 1.20 = $1.38

Dividend in year 2 = $ 1.15 x 1.20^2 = $1.66

Dividend in year 3 = $1.15 x 1.20^3 = $1.99

Dividend in year 4 = $1.15 x 1.20^4 = $2.38

Dividend in year 5 = $1.15 x 1.20^5 = $2.86

$2.86 / 0.4 = $7.15

$7.15 x 21 = $150.15

b. the stock price today can be found by finding the present value of the dividends

Present value can be found using a financial calculator

Earnings per share in year 5 = dividends per share in year 5/ pay-out ratio

Dividend in year 1 = $1.15 x 1.20 = $1.38

Dividend in year 2 = $ 1.15 x 1.20^2 = $1.66

Dividend in year 3 = $1.15 x 1.20^3 = $1.99

Dividend in year 4 = $1.15 x 1.20^4 = $2.38

Dividend in year 5 = $1.15 x 1.20^5 = $2.86

Stock price in year 5 = $150.15

i = 12%

Stock price (present value) = $92.31

Sarah is using the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy. Her cash needs are $30,000; her income needs are

levacccp [35]

Answer:

$130,000

Explanation:

Sarah is making use of the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy

The first step is to calculate the total amount of life insurance

Total amount of life insurance = Total needs - total assets

Total need = income needs + cash needs + special needs

= $140,000 + $30,000 + $100,000

= $270,000

Total assets= retirement plan + bank account + investment account

= $30,000 + $20,000 + $40,000

= $90,000

Total amount of life insurance = $270,000-$90,000

= $180,000

Since Sarah is covered by $50,000 group insurance by her employer then the additional life insurance that should be purchased can be calculated as follows

= $180,000 - $50,000

= $130,000
