Burton Corp. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 28 percent for the next three years, with the growt

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

current share price = $70.53

Explanation:

Share Price:

A share price is the amount it would cost to buy one share in a company.

Formula:

share price = future dividends * Present value of discount factor(16%, time period)

As the company just paid a dividend of $3.45 and dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 28 percent for the next three years so

Dividend for 1st year = (3.45*1.28) = $4.416

Dividend for 2nd year = (4.416*1.28) = $5.65248

Dividend for 3rd year = (5.65248*1.28) = $7.2351744

Now we need to calculate the value for 3rd year.

Formula:

Value after 3rd year = (Dividend for year 3*growth rate) / (required rate-growth rate)

Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

Value after 3rd year = (7.2351744 * 1.074) / (0.16 - 0.074)

Value after 3rd year = $90.35555007

Therefore by putting the values in the share price formula, we get

current share price = 4.416 / 1.16 + 5.65248 / 1.16^2 + 7.2351744/1.16^3 + 90.35555007 / 1.16^3

current share price = $70.53

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The equilibrium price of corn syrup will fall. The change in equilibrium quantity will depend upon the extent of change in demand and supply.

Explanation:

Corn syrup and maple syrup are substitutes.

News of health benefits from maple has increased the demand for maple syrup and decreased the demand for corn syrup.

The demand curve for corn syrup will move to the left.

Meanwhile, the government has subsidized corn crops. This will cause the price of corn to fall. As the input price declines the cost of producing corn syrup will decline as well. The firms will be able to provide more at the same cost.

This will cause the supply to increase. As the supply curve moves to the right. The equilibrium price of corn syrup will fall. The change in equilibrium quantity will depend upon the extent of change in demand and supply.
