Answer:

c. Fast-second strategy

Explanation:

Fast-second strategy is when a firm goes to a market place and find what is working therein(fast moving product), hence find a better way of making such product and return back to the market place with the improved product at an increased price.

The idea of innovation basically is to bring change that adds value but such word has now turn to a call in action which inspire firms to look for a fast moving product in the market place and then work on it to making it better.

Fast-second strategy is based on the idea that one can create a better product out of the offering of the pioneer hence carries lesser risk than being the first producer. An example is cars built by Henry Ford, though not the pioneer of classic cars, but he saw a huge market in car manufacturing hence worked towards making the process of making cars better and also brought cars to the masses.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

e). None of the above, because a perfect hedge does not exist

A perfect hedge is nearly impossible

Explanation:

A perfect hedge is a position undertaken by an investor that would eliminate the risk of an existing position, or a position that eliminates all market risk from a portfolio. In order to be a perfect hedge, a position would need to have a 100% inverse correlation to the initial position.

At the time of taking an opposite position in Derivatives Market, Perfect Hedge would mean covering the risk involved in the Cash Market Position completely, i.e. 100%. 2. Imperfect Hedge: When the position in the cash market is not completely hedged or not hedged to 100%, then such a hedge is called Imperfect Hedge.

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
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The dividend growth rate is given as D2/D1 - 1

Year            Dividend                        Growth rate

1                    $1.25                            

2                   $1.33                       ($1.33/ $1.25 - 1) 6.4%

3                   $1.4                          ($1.4/$1.33 - 1) 5.26%

4                   $1.51                         ($1.51/$1.4 -1)  7.86%  

       

The arithmetic average growth rate is the average of all the growth rates.

Arithmetic average growth rate = (6.4% + 5.26% + 7.86%) / 3 = 6.51%

The cost of annuity = (cost of common stock / Selling stock price) * 100% + Average growth rate

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.51% = 10.49%

b) The geometric growth rate is given as:

geometric average growth rate =

(\frac{D_n}{D_o} )^{\frac{1}{n} }-1\\D_n=1.51,D_o=1.25,n=3\\\\Geometric\ growth\ rate=\frac{1.51}{1.25}^{1/3}-1=6.5\%

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.5% = 10.48%
