Answer:

The maximum mortgage payment (PITI) a lender would allow for a conventional loan based on the housing expense ratio is:

$1,506.40

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Lisa works 40 hours at $18 an hour

Lisa weekly income = 40 * $18 = $720

Lisa monthly income = 40 *$18 * 4 = $2,880

Dave weekly income = $625

Dave's monthly income = $625 * 4 = 2,500

Total joint monthly income = $5,380

b) If Lisa and Dave, her husband, file jointly for taxes, then the maximum mortgage payment (PITI) they can make is 28% of the gross income.

Therefore PITI = $5,380 * 28% = $1,506.40

c) The housing expense ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income devoted to housing expenses, which should not exceed 36% of your monthly or annual gross income. According to the general rule, the household expense payments, primarily rent or mortgage payments, cannot exceed more than 28% of the monthly or annual income.

Answer:

76 months

Explanation:

If Lisa only pays the $20 minimum monthly payment, it will take her 76 months to repay her debt (6 years and 4 months). She will also end up paying almost $540 in interest.

If you have a credit card it is never a good idea to pay only the minimum monthly payment since you will end up paying a lot of interest and usually other fees and charges apply.

Explanation:

Dividend payout ratio = Dividend per share / Earning per share

r = cost of equity = 10%, or 0.10

Discounting factor = 1 /(1 + r)^n

n = year

a. For during the rapid growth period

Dividend payout ratio = 20%, or 0.20

Growth rate = 20%, or 0.20

Earnings per share in year 1 = Last year's earnings per share * (1 + Growth rate) = $2 * (1 + 0.20) = $2.40 per share

Dividend per share in year 1 = Dividend payout ratio * Earning per share in year 1 = 0.20 * $2.40 = $0.48 per share

PV of year 1 dividend per share = $0.48 * (1/1.10^1) = $0.436363636363636

Earnings per share in year 2 = Earnings per share in year 1 * (1 + Growth rate) = $2.40 * (1 + 0.20) = $2.88 per share

Dividend per share in year 2 = Dividend payout ratio * Earning per share in year 2 = 0.20 * $2.88 = $0.5760 per share

PV of year 2 dividend per share = $0.5760 * (1/1.10^2) = $ 0.47603305785124

Earnings per share in year 3 = Earnings per share in year 2 * (1 + Growth rate) = $2.88 * (1 + 0.20) = $3.4560 per share

Dividend per share in year 3 = Dividend payout ratio * Earning per share in year 3 = 0.20 * $3.4560 = $0.6912 per share

PV of year 3 dividend per share = $0.6912 * (1/1.10^3) = $0.51930879038317

b. For during the slow growth period

Dividend payout ratio = 50%, or 0.50

Growth rate = 8%, or 0.08

Earnings per share in year 4 = Earnings per share in year 3 * (1 + Growth rate during slow growth) = $3.4560 * (1 + 0.08) = $3.73248

Dividend per share in year 4 = Dividend payout ratio * Earning per share in year 4 = 0.50 * $3.73248 = $1.86624 per share

Dividend per share in year 5 = Dividend per share in year 4 * (1 + Growth rate during slow growth) = $1.86624 * (1 + 0.08) = $2.0155392

Stock price in year 4 = Dividend per share in year 5 / (r - Growth rate during slow growth) = $2.0155392 / (0.10 - 0.08) = $100.77696

PV of stock price in year 4 = $100.77696 * (1/1.10^4) = 68.8320196707875

c. Calculation of the current price of the common stock

Current price of the common stock = PV of year 1 dividend per share + PV of year 2 dividend per share + PV of year 3 dividend per share + PV of stock price in year 4 = $0.436363636363636 + $0.47603305785124 + $0.51930879038317 + $68.8320196707875 = $70.26

Therefore, the current price of the common stock is $70.26.
