Answer:

Pear stock fell by 20% to $4000 and Macrosoft rose by 20% to $9000

Explanation:

Total value = pear computers + macrosoft

$13000= (5000-5000*X) + ( 7500+7500*X)

13000 = 5000-X5000+7500+X7500

13000-5000-7500=X2500

500=X2500

X=500/2500

X=0.2*100=20%.

A corporate bond has a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 5%. The bond matures in 20 years and has a current market price
user100 [1]

Answer: 4.10%

Explanation:

Solve for the current rate being used using the RATE function on Excel.

Number of periods = 15

Payment = 1,000 * 5% = 50

Present value = Current market price - floatation costs = 900 - 25 = 875

Future value = 1,000 face value

The result will be:

= 6.31%

If tax is 35%, after-tax cost is:

= 6.31% * (1 - 35%)

= 4.10%

A financial analyst expects KacieCo. to pay a dividend of $3 per share one year from today, a dividend of $3.50 per share in yea
Helga [31]

Answer:

If your required return on KacieCo stock is 15 %, the most you would be willing to pay for the stock today if you plan to sell the stock in two years is $26.43

Explanation:

Accoring to the given data we have the following:

D1= $3

D2=$3.50

P2=$28

Ks=15%

Therefore, in order to calculate the most P0 you would be willing to pay for the stock today if you plan to sell the stock in two years, you would have to use the following formula:

P0 = PV of D1 + Pv of D2 + PV of P2

P0 = D1/(1+ks)^1 + D2/(1+Ks)^2 + P2/(1+Ks)^2

P0 = 3/(1+15%) + 3.5/(1+15%)^2 + 28/(1+15%)^2 = $26.43

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

$69.33

The current stock price in DDM = D1/r-g

Where D1= Dividend at year 1 = Current dividend (1+ growth rate)

D1= $2 (1+ 4%)= $2.08

R = Required rate of return= .07

Current Stock price= $2.08/0.07 - 0.04

Current Stock price= $2.08/ 0.03

Current Stock price= $69.33
