Answer:

b. Companies are benefiting from e-commerce by buying and selling their products and services to consumers online.

The Evanec Company's next expected dividend, D1, is $3.95; its growth rate is 4%; and its common stock now sells for $37.00. New
Trava [24]

Answer:

rs=14.68%

F=15%

re=16.56%

Explanation:

using the constant growth model:

P0=\frac{D1}{rs-g}

where P0 is the current stock price

           D1 is the dividend expected at the end of the 1st year

            rs is  cost of retained earnings.

Rearranging to make rs subject of the formula:

rs=\frac{D1}{P0}+ g

rs=\frac{3.95}{37}+ 0.04 = 0.1468

if Evanec issues new stock, they will only net $31.45 down from $37 per share due to floatation costs. The difference, ie  $37-$31.45 = $5.55 is due to floation costs.

The percentage floatation costs (F) are \frac{5.55}{37} = 0.15 = 15%

alternatively, one can recognise that  37(1-F)=31.45  and F = 15%

Cost of new common stock re is calculated as follows:

re=\frac{D1}{P0(1-F)}+ g

re=\frac{3.95}{37(1-0.15)}+ 0.04 = 0.1656 = 16.56%
