Answer:
the stock price after the acquisition is $37.30
Explanation:
The computation of the stock price after the acquisition is given below:
= Worth of combined synergy ÷ (outstanding shares = harrods shares)
= £194 million ÷ (4 million + 1.2 million)
= £194 million ÷ 5.2 million shares
= $37.30 per share
hence, the stock price after the acquisition is $37.30
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct answer could come
Answer:
4.76%
Explanation:
The requirement in this question is determining the discount rate which gives the same present value in both cases since discount rates discount future cash flows to present value terms.
PV of a pertuity=annual cash flow/discount rate
PV of a pertuity=$17,000/r
PV of ordinary annuity=annual cash flow*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV of ordinary annuity=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
$17,000/r=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
multiply boths side by r
17000=30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18
divide both sides by 30000
17000/30000=1-(1+r)^-18
0.566666667=1-(1+r)^-18
by rearraging the equation we have the below
(1+r)^-18=1-0.566666667
(1+r)^-18=0.433333333
divide indices on both sides by -18
1+r=(0.433333333)^(1/-18)
1+r=1.047554315
r=1.047554315-1
r=4.76%
In order to break even, they would need to sell at least 5,000 units
Break even point is calculated by the formula:
Fixed costs÷(selling price -variable costs per unit)
i.e.
100,000 ÷ (60-40) = 5,000
Anything they sell above this number will start to produce profits for the company
Cognitive evaluation theory would question the use of money as a motivator because external motivational tools may lower intrinsic motivation because people will start working to get the reward, NOT because they are intrinsically motivated or challenged.
