Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $1.59 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $1.25, $1.33, $1

.40, and $1.51 per share in the last four years. a. If the stock currently sells for $40, what is your best estimate of the company’s cost of equity capital using the arithmetic average growth rate in dividends? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a. What if you use the geometric average growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

Explanation:

arithmetic average growth rate = {[(1.33 - 1.25)/1.25] + [(1.40 - 1.33)/1.33] + [(1.51 - 1.40)/1.40] + [(1.59 - 1.51)/1.51]} / 4 = {0.064 + 0.053 + 0.079 + 0.053} / 4 = 0.06225 x 100 = 6.225%

geometric growth rate = ⁴√{0.064 x 0.053 x 0.079 x 0.053} = 0.061%

a) using arithmetic average growth rate

Div₁ = $1.59 x 1.06225 = $1.689

P₀ = $40

g = 6.225%

40 = 1.689 / (Re - 0.06225)

Re - 0.06225 = 1.689 / 40  = 0.04222

Re = 0.04222 + 0.06225 = 0.10447 = 10.45%

b) using geometric average growth rate

Div₁ = $1.59 x 1.061 = $1.68699

P₀ = $40

g = 0.061%

40 = 1.68699 / (Re - 0.061)

Re - 0.061 = 1.68699 / 40  = 0.04217

Re = 0.04217 + 0.061 = 0.103174 = 10.32%

Answer:

The correct answer is (E) continued to pour money into the stock market in the belief that the American economy was

Explanation:

Inflation can affect cash flows to a greater or lesser extent, depending on their nature. Thus inflation could affect sales prices more, or costs. The entrepreneur generally fights inflation trying to reduce costs and maintain competitive prices, but he can not against generalized inflation in the economy, and consequently his cash flows could be, in real terms, increasingly lower, by the loss of the power to buy money. In this way, inflation encourages investments with rapid recovery and that require less capital investment.

If a bank decides that it wants to hold​ $1 million of excess​ reserves, what effect will this have on checkable deposits in the
Alja [10]

Answer:

C. Checkable deposits decline by $10 million.

Explanation:

The banks must keep a reserve of money at Central Banks, the amount is defined by the reserve ratio, 10% in this case, but the banks could keep an extra reserve of money at Central Banks, in this case it's $ 1 million, so, if the bank decides to keep that reserve it means will be less money available to checkable deposit in the same amount.

When the banks keeps reserve by his own will, the required reserve ratio is not applicable to the amount, is the same situation as if we want to keep our money in the bank, for banks, they keep money in Central Banks.
