Answer:

D. The constant growth model cannot be used for a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time.

Explanation:

So, we evaluate each option.

a. We discount the dividends by the required rate of return. So incorrect.

b. The dividend yield is annual dividend per share divided by stick price per share. the 5% is the growth in dividend and not the actual dividend itself. So, incorrect.

c. The constant growth is appropriate for companies whose dividend patterns are stable. Startups have multiple stage growths and this option becomes incorrect as constant growth is not applicable.

d. A zero growth stock is one where dividend remains the same. So when there is no growth in dividend, the constant growth model becomes inapplicable. So, the statement is correct.

So, here we have our correct statement and all others are incorrect.

A firm’s liquidity level decreases when:_______.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

b) inventory is sold on credit.

Explanation:

Liquidity is defined as the a business to use its current assets to settle it's current liabilities.

This is calculated by using the working capital ratio.

Working capital ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities.

Cash and inventory contribute to a business' liquidity.

When inventory is sold on credit, it does not result in immediate increase in cash as payment is in the future. So there is a reduction in the current asset of the company.

A reduction in the numerator of the working capital ratio results in lower value of the ratio (lower liquidity)

A July sales forecast projects that 5,000 units are going to be sold at a price of $12.50 per unit. The management forecasts 2%

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$P_i = 5000 units *12.5\frac{dollars}{unit} = 62500 dollars$

And for the new case we know that the sales increase by a factor of 2%, so then we can find the new number of sales like this:

$1.02*5000 units= 5100 units$

And the Total August sales would be given by:

$P_f = 5100 units *12.5 \frac{dollars}{unit}= 63750 dollars$

And the correct answer for this case would be:

$63,750

Explanation:

For this case the original number of sales for this case is 5000 units and the unitary price is given by $12.5 \frac{dollars}{unit}$

And the total sales for the original case would be given by:

$P_i = 5000 units *12.5\frac{dollars}{unit} = 62500 dollars$

And for the new case we know that the sales increase by a factor of 2%, so then we can find the new number of sales like this:

$1.02*5000 units= 5100 units$

And the Total August sales would be given by:

$P_f = 5100 units *12.5 \frac{dollars}{unit}= 63750 dollars$

And the correct answer for this case would be:

$63,750
