Answer:

Monopoly

Explanation:

Monopoly is a market structure where only one firm controls the market share and earn abnormal profits. In a monopoly market, a producer or a supplier earn abnormal profits, which is why they don't try to control the cost of production because they can sell the good at any price. This situation where the cost of production increases, it creates X-inefficiency.

Adams and Collin Enterprises expect earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 25% for the next 4 years, after the growth rate
ollegr [7]

Answer:

the intrinsic value of the stock is 42.97

If the stock is priced at 40 dollars it would be a good idea to purchase the share as will provide a better yield than the cost of capital of 9.6%

Explanation:

First, we solve for the cost of equity using the CAPM:

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.09

premium market = (market rate - risk free) = 0.055

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.2

Ke= 0.03 + 1.2 (0.055)

Ke = 0.09600

<em>Now we solve for the intrinsic price using the gordon model</em>

<em>with multi-stage growth:</em>

First, we calcualte the future dividends

grow rate Dividends

0                1.25

1 0.25       1.5625

2 0.25       1.953125

3 0.25       2.44140625

4 0.25       3.051757813

4 0.03     3.143310547

Now in the last year, we calcualte using the gordon model or constant grow:

\frac{3.143310547}{0.096-0.03} = Intrinsic \: Value

32.7128182

Now we calculate and add together the present value of each of this future cash flow to determnate the intrinsic  value ofthe share:

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

Present Value

1 1.5625 / (1+0.096)^1     =  1.425638686

2 1.953125 / (1+0.096)^2 = 1.625956531

and so on, giving the following values:

3 1.854421226

4 2.114987712

present value of the future dividends at 3% 22.67126448

<u>Finally we add them and get:</u>

42.97160726

Sales $200,000 Net income 100,000 Depreciation 20,000 Interest 10,000 Taxes 5,000 What is the company’s operating profit margin?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

57.5%

Explanation:

Data Provided:

Total Sales =  $ 200,000

The net income = $ 100,000

Depreciation = $ 20,000

Interest = $ 10,000

Taxes = $ 5,000

Now,

the operating profit is the from the income before the taxes and interest. Thus,

the interest and taxes will be included in the net income for the operating profit

therefore,

The operating profit = income + Interest + Taxes

or

The operating profit = $ 100,000 + $ 10,000 + $ 5,000 = $ 115,000

Now,

the operating profit margin = ( Operating profit / Sales ) × 100

or

= ( $ 115,000 / $200,000 ) × 100 = 57.5%
