Assume that you inherited some money. A friend of yours is working as an unpaid intern at a local brokerage firm, and her boss i

s selling securities that call for 4 payments of $50 (1 payment at the end of each of the next 4 years) plus an extra payment of $1,000 at the end of Year 4. Your friend says she can get you some of these securities at a cost of $900 each. Your money is now invested in a bank that pays an 8% nominal (quoted) interest rate but with quarterly compounding. You regard the securities as being just as safe, and as liquid, as your bank deposit, so your required effective annual rate of return on the securities is the same as that on your bank deposit. You must calculate the value of the securities to decide whether they are a good investment. What is their present value to you? Ehrhardt, Michael C..

ratelena [41]

Answer: $880.57

A company's common stock is selling in the market at a "multiple of 15". If the market price of the common stock is currently $1
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

earnings per share = $0.67

Explanation:

the earnings per share = stock price / multiple value = $10 / 15 = $0.67

When you read that a stock is selling at a multiple of X, it means that the stock price is currently X times the current earnings per share. In this case, since the stock price is $10, to calculate the EPS you must divide 10 by the multiple value.

Generally speaking, a narrow span of management implies that the height of the organization will be ____; a wide span of managem
Pani-rosa [81]
<span>a narrow span of management implies that the height of the organization will be long; a wide span of management implies that the height of the organization will be short.

This is because in a narrow span of management, less people work under each manager and therefore, there will be more levels of hierarchy making the height of the organization longer and the vice versa applies.

Fleury Security Limited (FSL) is projected to have earnings per share (EPS) of $3.50 next year, and the firm’s dividends are 30%
ra1l [238]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a) For ROE of the company

As we know that

Debt ratio = 1 - (1 ÷  Equity multiplier)

0.4 = 1 - (1 ÷ Equity multiplier)

(1 ÷ Equity multiplier) = 0.6

Equity multiplier = 1 ÷ 0.6

= 1.6667

Now ROE is  

ROE = Net Profit Margin × Total Asset Turnover × Equity multiplier

= 10% × 0.9 × 1.6667

= 15%

b) For the Price of FSL shares

Expected Dividend next year (D1) = Projected EPS × Dividend payout ratio

= $3.50 × 30%

= $1.05  

And, Required Return(ke) = 12.4%

Growth Rate(g) = ROE × (1 - Dividend payout ratio)

= 15% × (1 - 0.30)

= 10.5%

And finally the Price of STock:-

= D1 ÷ (ke - g)

= $1.05 ÷ (0.124 - 0.105)

= $55.26

C. For  Present Value of Growth Opportunity(PVGO)

As we know that

Present Value of Growth Opportunity(PVGO) = Stock Price - (EPS ÷ Ke)

= $55.26 - ($3.50 ÷ 12.4%)

= $27.03
