Answer:
B) Decreased $138 million
Explanation:
To determine the effects of long term debt accounts on HP's total cash flow form financing we can use the following formula:
HP's cash flow from financing = new shares issued - shares repurchased - dividend payments + cash flows related to long term debt account + income from other financing activities
-$6,077 = $0 -$5,241 -$894 + X + $196
-$6,077 = -$5,939 + X
-$138 = X
HP's long term debt accounts decreased by $138

Answer:
4.86%
Explanation:
Given that,
First-class postage for a 1-ounce envelope = 4 cents
On August 1, 2007
A first-class stamp for the same envelope cost = 41 cents
Period, n = 49 years
i = 1.0486 - 1
= 0.0486 or 4.86%
Therefore, the interest rate is 4.86%.
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 = <u>Current market price per share</u>
Earnings per share
P/E ratio = <u>$32.73</u>
$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.
