Answer:

$39.53    

Explanation:

The first step is to find the dividends growth

D1        $2.80 * 1.10 = $3.08

D2      $3.08 * 1.10 = $3.388

D3      $3.388 * 1.10 = $3.727

D4      $3.727 * 1.10 = $4.1

D5      $4.1 * 1.0175 = $4.171

D6      $4.171 * 1.0175 = $4.244

D7      $4.244 * 1.0175 = $4.318

D8      $4.318 * 1.03 = $4.448

From the year 8 onward, the growth remains at 3% forever. So the value of the stock at the year end 8 would be:

Perpetuity at the year 8 = $4.448  * (1 + 3%) / (12%-3%)  = $50.9

Now, we will discount all the dividends to the year 8 and the stock value at 12% required rate of return to find the value of stock at year zero.

Value of Stock at Y0 = D1 / (1 + 12%)^1    + D1 / (1 + 12%)^2    + D1 / (1 + 12%)^3    + D1 / (1 + 12%)^4    + D1 / (1 + 12%)^5    + D1 / (1 + 12%)^6    + D1 / (1 + 12%)^7  

+ D1 / (1 + 12%)^8  + Stock Value / (1 + 12%)^8

= $39.53

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Ethical standards are are set of guiding principles that an organisation communicates to its employees as the expected way to do things.

In reaching beyond our borders it is not true that ethical standards of of its employees must be the same as for workers in the United States.

For example an employee living abroad does not spend his whole housing allowance on getting a place to stay as expected in the United States, but puts it to use on other endeavours.

Semenov [28]

Answer: Option C - Assets are Overstated; No effects on liabilities: Equity is Overstated

Explanation:

When Bad debts are recorded, they will reduce the Accounts Receivable account because less money will be expected from debtors. Accounts Receivable is an asset account so it will be Overstated if bad debts are not recorded.

Equity will also be overstated because bad debts is an expense that is sent to the Income statement. If this expense is not deducted, the net income will be larger than it should be and when added to Equity it will overstate it.

Answer:

are never final, as managing strategy is an on-going, dynamic process.

Explanation:

In Business management, a strategy can be defined as a set of guiding principles, actions and decisions that an organization combines so as to achieve its business goals, attract customers and possess a competitive advantage over its rivals in the industry.

Business strategy sets the overall direction for the business because it focuses on defining how a business would achieve its goals, objectives, and mission; as well as the funds and material resources required to implement or execute the business plan. The components of a business strategy includes the following;

I. Value.

II. Vision.

III. Mission.

Hence, a company's direction, objectives, and strategy are never final because managing strategy is a continuum or an on-going, dynamic process. Thus, it's never a now and then task.
