Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

This statement is false, since the residual theory of dividends argues that these are irrelevant, that is, that the value of the company is not affected by its dividend policy. The main drivers of this theory are Modigliani and Miller. Both authors affirm that the value of the company is determined solely by the profitability and the degree of risk of its assets (investments), and that the way in which the organization divides its income between dividends and reinvestment does not have a direct effect on its value .

However, some studies show that significant changes in dividends affect the price of shares in the same direction, that is, increases in dividends translate into increases in stock prices, and vice versa. In response, M and M propose that the positive effects of dividend increases be attributed, not to the dividend itself, but to the informational content of dividends with respect to future income. Thus, any increase in dividends would cause investors to raise the price of the shares, while a decrease would cause a corresponding decrease in the price of the shares.

Cash flows:

Cf1= $6,100

Cf2= $11,100

PV= Cf / (1+i)^n

PV1= 6,100 / 1.15= 5,304.35

PV2= 11,100 / 1.15^2= 8,393.19

PV3= 17,300 / 1.15^3= 11,375.03

The open-economy macroeconomic model examines the determination of a. unemployment and the exchange rate. b. the output growth r
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

c. the trade balance and the exchange rate.

Explanation:

An Open Economy is an economy that allows the free inflow and outflow of goods, services, capital and people. The opposite of a closed economy.

What sets these two models apart is that in an open economy, both imports and exports are allowed, so that countries necessarily have to trade in more than one currency, so the exchange rate must be examined. In addition, business transactions are recorded in a balance of payments. So these are the two concepts that are not tried in a closed economy analysis, but are introduced in an open economy.

You want to invest in a project in Canada. The project has an initial cost of C$828,000 and is expected to produce cash inflows
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

C$24,650

Explanation:

initial cost C$828,000

net cash flows for years 1, 2 and 3 C$355,000

discount rate 12%

the net present value in C$ = C$355,000/1.12 + C$355,000/1.12² + C$355,000/1.12³ - C$828,000 = C$316,964 + C$283,004 + C$252,682 -  C$828,000 = C$24,650

Since we are asked to determine the NPV in Canadian dollars, all we need to do is carry out the same calculations as if they were any other currency. We do not need to make any adjustments due to the exchange rate between US dollars and Canadian dollars.
