Answer:
35,000 stocks
Explanation:
Dividends can be either distributed in cash or distributed as new stock. In this case the company decided to issue stock instead of cash payments. Since the company has 500,000 outstanding and the board declared a 7% dividend, then 35,000 stocks should be issued (= 500,000 x 7%).
Whether shareholders receive money or stocks, they still have to include the dividends as part of their gross income.

Answer:
$42.5 billion
Explanation:
the expected value formula = ∑ (valueₙ x probabilityₙ)
expected value = (low value x probability of low value) + (most likely value x probability of most likely value) + (high value x probability of high value)
= ($5 billion x 20%) + ($45 billion x 70%) + ($100 billion x 10%) = $1 billion + $31.5 billion + $10 billion = $42.5 billion
Answer:
11.3%
Explanation:
Given that,
Growth rate of industrial production, IP = 4%
Inflation rate, IR = 3.0%
Beta = 1.1 on IP
Beta = 0.5 on IR
Rate of return = 7%
Before the changes in industrial production and inflation rate:
Rate of return = α + (Beta on IP) + (Beta on IR)
7% = α + (1.1 × 4%) + (0.5 × 3%)
7% = α + 4.4% + 1.5%
7% - 4.4% - 1.5% = α
1.1% = α
With the changes:
Rate of return:
= α + (Beta on IP) + (Beta on IR)
= 1.1% + (1.1 × 7%) + (0.5 × 5%)
= 1.1% + 7.7% + 2.5%
= 11.3%
Therefore, the revised estimate of the expected rate of return on the stock is 11.3%.
