Answer: $52,431.50
Explanation:
The liability reported will be the present value of the six payments of $11,000.
Since this is a constant amount, it will be an annuity:

= 11,000 * 4.7665
= $52,431.50

Explanation:
Calculation for 5th year dividend.
Year	Dividend	Growth	Dividend
1 1.23	1.18 1.45
2 1.45	1.18 1.71
3 1.71	1.18 2.02
4 2.02	1.18 2.38
5 2.38	1.18 2.81
Now we find EPS for 5th year through payout ratio.
EPS5 = D5 / Payout ratio
EPS5 = $2.81 / 0.30
EPS5 = $9.37
Calculation for price.
P0 = Benchmark PE ratio x EPS5
P0 = 18 ($9.37)
P0 = $168.66
B. What is the stock price today.
Year	Dividend	Table value at 14%	PV of dividend
1	1.45	0.8771 1.27
2	1.71	0.7694 1.32
3	2.02	0.6749 1.36
4	2.38	0.5920 1.41
5	171.47	0.5193 89.04
Total 94.40
Stock price today = $94.40
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Longly will receive $1,817.43 from selling the bond.
Explanation:
As the coupon rate is 8%; we have annual coupon payment = 2,000 x 8% = $160.
The price of the bond Longly will receive is equal to the present value of 20 annual coupon payment plus the present value of $2,000 face value repayment in 20 years time; with the two streams of cash flow discounting at the market rate at the date of issuing 9%; which is calculated as:
[ ( 160/9%) x [ 1 - 1.09^(-20) ] ] + ( 2,000 / 1.09^20 ) = $1,817.43.
So, the answer is $1,817.43.
