Answer:
(a) $10 million
(b) $1 per share
(c) $49
(d) 25 %
Explanation:
(a) Estimated net earnings for next year.
Sales next year = $100 million
Net profit margin = 10%
Net profit margin = Net Income ÷ Sales
Net Income = 10% × $100 million
= $10 mil
lion
(b) Next year's dividends per share.
Dividend payout = Dividends paid ÷ Net Income
= 50%
Dividends paid = $10 × 50%
= $5 mil
lion
Per share dividend = Dividend paid ÷ Shares outstanding
= $5 million ÷ 5 million
= $1 per share
(c) The expected price of the stock (assuming the P/E ratio is 24.5 times earnings).
Earnings per share:
= Net income ÷ shares outstanding
= $10 million ÷ 5 million
= $2 per share
P/E Ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share
Price per share = $2 × 24.5
= $49
(d) The expected holding period return (latest stock price: $40 per share).
= (Final price - Initial price + Dividend) ÷Initial Price
= ($49 - $40 + $1) ÷ $40
= 25%
Answer: 15.35%
Explanation:
The total nominal return over the two years if inflation is 2.4% in the first year and 4.4% in the second year will be calculated thus:
= (1+Interest rate)² -1
= (1 + 7.4%) - 1
= (1 + 0.074)² - 1
= 1.074² - 1
= 1.153476 - 1
= 0.153476
= 15.35% over the two years

Answer:
2 Days
Explanation:
First, there is the need to rewrite the utility function for clarity
U=V^{1/2}
1. The Probability of Falling ill by someone in the family is given as 20%
2. If someone should fall ill, the total number of days that would be spoiled is calculated as:
Total number of vacation= 10 days x Probability to fall ill = 20%
= 10 x 0.2 = 2 days
This means if someone should fall ill based on the probability, then 2 out of the total 10 days can be ruined
3. The number of days for vacation days to enjoy is 10-2 = 8 days
This means if the family gives up 2 days of probable illness, they can still enjoy their vacation.
V= 2 days
