Answer:
First Expected Dividend will come in at the end of Year 3 or t=3 assuming current time is t=0.
D3 = $ 4.25, Growth Rate for year 4 and year 5 = 22.1 %
Therefore, D4 = D3 x 1.221 = 4.25 x 1.221 = $ 5.18925 and D5 = D4 x 1.221 = 5.18925 x 1.221 = $ 6.33607
Growth Rate post Year 5 = 4.08 %
D6 = D5 x 1.0408 = 6.33607 x 1.0408 = $ 6.59459
Required Return = 13.6 %
Therefore, Current Stock Price = Present Value of Expected Dividends = [6.59459 / (0.136-0.0408)] x [1/(1.136)^(5)] + 4.25 / (1.136)^(3) + 5.18925 / (1.136)^(4) + 6.33607 / (1.136)^(5) = $ 45.979 ~ $ 45.98
Price at the end of Year 2 = P2 = Present Value of Expected Dividends at the end of year 2 = [6.59459 / (0.136-0.0408)] x [1/(1.136)^(3)] + 4.25 / (1.136) + 5.18925 / (1.136)^(2) + 6.33607 / (1.136)^(3) = $ 59.3358 ~ $ 59.34
Dividend Yield at the end of year 3 = DY3 = D3 / P2 = 4.25 / 59.34 = 0.07612 or 7.612 %
Total Required Return = 14. 6 %
Therefore, Required Capital Gains Yield = 14.6 % - 7.612 % = 6.988 %
Answer:
Year 1 PV = 91,743.12
Year 2 PV =126,251.99
Year 3 PV = 154,436.70
Explanation:
<em>The present value of future sum is the amount that ought to be invested today at interest rate compounded annually to equal the sum at the end of a particular period.</em>
The present value of a future sum is given as follows:
PV = FV × PV (1+r)^(-n)
PV - present value
FV - Future value
r- interest rate
n- number of years
Year 1 PV = 100,000× 1.09^(-1) =91,743.12
Year 2 PV = 150,000× 1.09^(-2) =126,251.99
Year 3 PV = 200,000× 1.09^(-3) = 154,436.70
Answer:
Favorable for price and unfavorable for usage.
Explanation:
Provided Information,
Standard Material = 2.2 pounds per unit
Standard cost = $2 per pound
Actual Quantity = 2.3 pounds per unit
Actual cost = $1.95 per pound
In Material Price variance we have = (Standard Price - Actual Price) 
Actual Quantity
Since Standard Price $2 is more than actual price = $1.95 the variance is favorable.
In material quantity variance we have = (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity) Standard Rate
Since actual quantity used = 2.3 pounds is more than standard 2.2 pounds the variance will be unfavorable
Therefore, Price Variance = Favorable, and Quantity Variance = Unfavorable.
Answer: In macroeconomics, gross domestic product (GDP) is a macroeconomic magnitude that expresses the monetary value of the production of goods and services of final demand of a country or region during a determined period, normally one year or quarterly.
GDP can be measured by adding up all the final demands for goods and services in a given period. In this case, the destination of the production is being quantified. There are four major areas of spending: household consumption (C), government consumption (G), investment in new capital (I) and the net results of foreign trade (exports-imports).
And it can also be measured by adding the income of all the factors that contribute to the production process, such as wages and salaries, commissions, rents, copyrights, fees, interests, profits, etc. The GDP is the result of the calculation by means of the payment to the factors of the production. All this, before deducting tax.
Thus the statements "b. An increase in Social Security expenses" as government expenses, "c. An increase in retirement and pension benefits to elderly citizens" as subsidies or transfers, and "
d. An individual receiving an annual performance bonus of $5,000" as financial interest are likely to increase a country GDP.
