Answer:

a)P_5 = $161.3

b) P'_5 = $176

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The earnings per share today Eo = $6.07

- The P/E ratio = 16.5

- The growth rate of dividend R = 10 %

Find:

a) What would be the stock price in five years if the P/E ratio remained unchanged?

b) What would the price be if the P/E ratio increased to 18 in five years?

Solution:

- The factor of increase per year of dividend can be determined:

                          1  -----------> 100

                          x   ----------> 110

                          x = 110*1 / 100 = 1.1

- The value of earnings/ share in n number of years time is given by:

                          E_n = Eo*x^n

                          E_5 = $6.07*1.1^5

                          E_5 = $9.7757957

- The Price of the stock is expressed by the ratio:

                          P_n / E_n = 16.5

                          P_5 = 16.5*E_5

                          P_5 = 16.5*$9.7757957

                          P_5 = $161.3

- If the P/E ratio decreases to 18 in 5 years then stock price while earnings increased at rate of 10% is:

                          P'_5 = 18*$9.7757957

                          P'_5 = $176

Two coins, A and B, each have a side for heads and a side for tails. When coin A is tossed, the probability it will land tails-s
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Is the number of tosses for each coin enough for the sampling distribution of the difference in sample proportions PA-PB to be approximately normal?

b. No, 20 tosses for coin A is enough, but 20 tosses for coin B is not enough.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The probability of coin A landing tails-side up = 0.5

The proportion of times coin A lands tails-side up (PA) = 20 * 0.5 = 10

Therefore, the probability of coin A landing heads-side up = 0.5 (1 - 0.5)  

And the proportion of times that coin A lands heads-side up = 20 * 0.5 = 10.  

The proportion on either side is equally distributed.

This is why 20 tosses for coin A is enough, since the sample proportions PA is approximately normal, symmetric, and equally distributed.  There will be equal amounts of 10 tosses (0.5 *20) for either heads-side up or tails-side up.

For coin B, the probability of landing tails-side up = 0.8

The proportion of times coin B lands tails-side up (PB) = 20 * 0.8 = 16

Therefore, the probability of coin B landing heads-side up = 0.2 (1 - 0-.8)

The proportion on either side is not equally distributed, but skewed.

This is why 20 tosses for coin B is not enough, since the sample proportions PB is not approximately normal, symmetric, and equally distributed.  There will be 16 tosses landing tails-side up (0.8*20) and only 4 tosses landing heads-side up (0.2*20).
