Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.

However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $0.75 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly-at a rate of 16% per year-during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 8% per year. If the required return on Computech is 14%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Answer:

The intrinsic value of the stock is 9.76

Explanation:

We have to use the dividend growth model

It is fundamental to understand that these values are in the future so we must take them to present value, using the required return of 14%

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-&DIVIDENDS&PRESENT VALUE\\1&0&0\\2&0&0\\3&0.75&0.506228637151512\\4&0.87&0.515109841312065\\5&1.0092&8.73578093453209\\Intrinsic&Value&9.75711941299567\\\end{array}\right]

We multiply year 3 by 1.16 to get year 4

Then we multiply year 4 by 1.16 to get year 5 dividends.

Then we use the dividend growth model to get the value ofthe future years

\frac{dividends}{return-growth} = intrinsic \: value

Again, this value is set 5 years into the future, so we have to calculate the present value

\frac{intrinsic \: value}{1.14^{5} } = Present Value

Same process is done for year 3 and 4

\frac{.75}{1.14^{3} } = PV \: Year3

\frac{.87}{1.14^{4} } = PV \: Year4

Then we add the three values to get the value of the stock today.

What form of FDI is NOT an option in the service industry, due to the fact that many services have to be produced where they are
ankoles [38]

Answer: C. exporting

Explanation:

As many services have to be produced where they are sold, Exporting is not very ideal in the Service industry even if it might work here and there.

Exporting is a form of FDI that means sending the good in question to another country and this is not ideal when services are needed.

For instance, you need your hair cut in Maine but Maine uses exported Barbers from Mexico City, the logistics of such a business are to understate it, untenable. The barber should be in Maine.

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Performance-reward relationship

Explanation:

Jaime is used to having her high performance (top sales rep) earn her the rewards of recognition and success. Now that someone who hasn't reached the same level of performance that she has but got all the rewards (the promotion) she can no longer trust that better performance will lead to better rewards. When trust in work relationships is broken, people will lose satisfaction and search for new opportunities.

true or false: the profit margin is the financial gain from a sale after the costs of providing the sold product have been deduc
kotykmax [81]

The profit margin is the financial gain from a sale after the costs of providing the sold product have been deducted. Thus, the statement is true.

<h3>What is the profit margin?</h3>

Profit margin is the portion of sales that a company keeps after all costs are subtracted. It essentially displays the percentage of each dollar of sales that is kept as profit. A 15% profit margin, for instance, means that a company keeps $0.15 from every dollar of sales produced.

Comparing the firm's operations to those of a best-in-class company, maybe in a different industry, is another way to increase your profit margin. This comparison could point out several operational tweaks that could be done to raise profit margins.

Television channel operating profits vary from as high as 45 to 55 percent at MTV and Nickelodeon down to 12 to 18 percent at NB
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

MTV and cable channels can have higher operating profits largely because they have lower costs and can reach very specific demographic groups quite easily. MTV and Nickleodeon are typically not paying high and uncertain prices for their shows. They air mainly reruns of proven shows or relatively low-cost reality shows. This means that they have more cost certainty.

In addition, they have very clear target audiences where the networks do not. MTV is clearly aimed at teens and young adults while Nickleodeon is a kids' channel. Advertisers are attracted to channels with such clear demographics.

As far as Porter's five forces go, the most likely reason for the higher cable profits would have to do with brand equity and the lower propensity among buyers to substitute.

These would mean that cable channels have a lower threat of new competition and a lower threat of substitute products. It is true that it is easy for a new cable channel to be created, but it is much harder for such a channel to get the name recognition and brand equity that MTV and Nickleodeon have.
