Answer:

Required rate of return is 6.97%

Explanation:

The required rate of return can be ascertained from the price formula below when the subject of the formula is changed to rate of return instead of stock price:

Stock price =dividend/required rate of return

stock price is $80.40

required rate of return is unknown

the dividend on the preferred stock is $5.60

required rate of return=dividend/stock price

required rate of return =$5.60/$80.40=6.97%

The required rate of return based on the stock price and dividend information provided is 6.97%

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Diverisify

Explanation:

The best option would be to diverisify between various things. Part into a promising crypto such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. Part into some basic index funds such as the SPY (S&P500), some bigger tech companies such as Apple and finally a more risky investment into a stock or crypto which is only in the beginning of its age. If you would like protection against a crisis or similar you could buy some Put options for your stocks.

An author just signed a lucrative contract with a publisher that offers to pay her the amount of $500 at the end of year 9 when
solong [7]

Answer:

Ans. The annuity that will be equivalent to the publisher´s advance would be $26.40 per year, for 9 years at 7% interest rate.

Explanation:

Hi, first, let´s bring that $500 to be paid in 9 years to present value, we need to use the following formula.

PresentValue=\frac{FutureValue}{(1+r)^{n} }

Where: r is our discount rate (7%) and n the periods from now when she will receive that $500 amount. This should look like this.

PresentValue=\frac{500}{(1+0.07)^{9} } =271.97

Ok, so the equivalent amount of money today of those $500 in nine years is $271.97, but the author wants $100 today so the remaining amount has to be used to find the equal annual payments to be made in order to be equivalent to re remaining balance ($171.97). We now need to use the following equation.

Present Value=\frac{A((1+r)^{n}-1 )}{r(1+r)^{n} }

And we solve for "A" like this

171.97=\frac{A((1+0.07)^{9}-1 )}{0.07(1+0.07)^{9} }

171.97=\frac{A(0.838459212 )}{0.128692145}

171.97=A(6.515232249)

A=\frac{171.97}{6.515232249} = 26.40

Therefore, the equivalent amount of money of $500 in 9 years is $100 today and $26.40 every year, at the end of the year, for nine years.

Best of luck.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

$9.63

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Year              Annual dividend paid

   1                                      $1.20

   2                                      $1.12

   3                                      $1.12

   4                                      $14.20

Now,

Year       Annual dividend paid        Present value factor     Present value

   1                              $1.20                          0.84246               1.011

   2                             $1.12                          0.84246               0.7949

   3                             $1.12                          0.59793             0.6696

   4                             $14.20                       0.50373             7.1529

===============================================================

Worth of stock = 1.011 + 0.7949 + 0.6696 + 7.1529

= $9.6284 ≈ $9.63

Note:

Present value factor = [ 1 ÷ (1 + 0.187)ⁿ]
