Answer:

  • <u><em>$31,858.57</em></u>

Explanation:

1. First calculate the value of a constant annuity of $1,500 for 15 years at the 8% return.

The formula is:

            PV=C[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}]

Where:

  • PV is the present value of the annuity
  • C is the constant pay,emt: $1,500
  • r is the rate of return: 8%/12 = 0.08/12 =
  • t is the number of periods: 15 years × 12 moths/year = 180

Substitute and compute:

            PV=\$ 1,500[\dfrac{1}{(0.08/12)}-\dfrac{1}{(0.08/12)(1+0.08/12)^{180}}]

            PV=\$ 156,960.89

<u>2. Discount to the present year.</u>

You calculate the value of the annuity 20 years from now.

Then, you must discount that value at the same 8% rate to have the price today.

           Price=(Value\text{ }in\text{ }20\text{ }years)/(1+r)^t

Here, the value in 20 years is $156,960.89, r = 0.08/12, and t = 240 (20 × 12).

           Price=\$ 156,960.89/(1+0.08/12)^{240}=\$ 31,858.57

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Cost of Equity = 11.30%

Explanation:

Computation Cost for Equity

Using Gordon Model

Market Price = [Dividend × (1 + Growth Rate )] / (Cost of Equity - Growth Rate)

41.08 = [$3.01 × (1 + 0.037)] / (Cost of Equity - 0.037)

41.08 = [$3.01 × (1.037)] / (Cost of Equity - 0.037)

Cost of Equity - 0.037 = $3.12 / 41.08

Cost of Equity - 0.037 = $0.076

Cost of Equity = 0.076 + 0.037

Cost of Equity = 0.1130

Cost of Equity = 11.30%

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$23.6 per share

Explanation:

Given that,

Total common equity = $5,500,000

Shares outstanding = 250,000

Net income = $525,000

Dividends paid out = $125,000

Total value at the end:

= Total common equity + Net income - Dividends paid out

= $5,500,000 + $525,000 - $125,000

= $5,900,000

Therefore,

Book value per share at 2014 year end:

= Total value at the end ÷ No. of shares outstanding

= $5,900,000 ÷ 250,000

= $23.6 per share
