Consider the following three stocks: Stock A is expected to provide a dividend of $10 a share forever. Stock B is expected to pa

y a dividend of $5 next year. Thereafter, dividend growth is expected to be 4% a year forever. Stock C is expected to pay a dividend of $5 next year. Thereafter, dividend growth is expected to be 20% a year for five years (i.e., years 2 through 6) and zero thereafter. If the market capitalization rate for each stock is 10%, which stock is the most valuable?

Answer:

Value of stock =$100

Value of stock B=$83.33

Value of stock C = $104.51

Explanation:

Stock A

A dividend of $10 a share forever is a perpetuity.

PV of a perpetuity =\frac{CF}{ke}

where CF is the cash-flow expected per compounding period = $10

            ke=return on investment or market capitalization rate=0.1

Value of stock A = \frac{10}{0.1} =$100

Stock B

Given D1=$5, g = 4% forever- this stream of cash-flows can be valued using the constant growth model where

PV=\frac{D_1}{ke-g}

where D1 is the dividend expected at the end of year 1 = $5

             ke is the return on investment or market capitalization rate = 0.1

             g is the growth rate = 0.04

Value of stock B= \frac{5}{0.1-0.04} = $83.33

Stock C

The stock dividends  have two distinct growth periods, the 1st 6 years where g= 20% and after that, zero growth

Price of the stock C = \frac{D1}{(1+ke)^1}+\frac{D2}{(1+ke)^2}+\frac{D3}{(1+ke)^3}+\frac{D4}{(1+ke)^4}+\frac{D5}{(1+ke)^5}+\frac{D6}{(1+ke)^6}+\frac{P6}{(1+ke)^6}

where P6= \frac{D7}{ke}=\frac{D6}{ke}

Price of the stock C = \frac{5}{(1+0.1)^1}+\frac{5(1.2)}{(1+0.1)^2}+\frac{5(1.2)^2}{(1+0.1)^3}+\frac{5(1.2)^3}{(1+0.1)^4}+\frac{5(1.2)^4}{(1+0.1)^5}+\frac{5(1.2)^5}{(1+0.1)^6}+\frac{5(1.2)^5}{0.1*(1+0.1)^6}

= 34.2755+\frac{5(1.2)^5}{0.1*(1+0.1)^6} =$104.51

Stock C is more valuable as it has a higher present value of cash flows.

Nina has a convex utility of wealth function, u(x). She is contemplating two prospects, L and M, where L is a mean preserving sp
Lerok [7]

Answer:

b. Nina will prefer L to M.

Explanation:

Convex utility of wealth indicates that an individual tends to be comfortable with taking risks.

A concave utility function shows an aversion for risk.

A mean preserving spread occurs when one variable has greater variance than another but they both have the same mean.

In the given scenario prospect L will have a greater variance than prospect M since it is a mean preserving spread.

Given Nina's risk taking preference she will most likely take prospect L that offers more variability over prospect M

Sarjit Systems sold software to a customer for $80,000.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

If the products are sold seperately they would sell for $100,000:

Software $70,000 = 70%

Technical Support $30,000 = 30%

Sarjit Systems sold the software for $80,000

Software 70% of 80,000 = $56,000

Technical Support 30% of 80,000 = $24,000

We will record technical support as deferred revenue since the customer pays for the support upfront before receiving the service.

The journal entry would be:

Account Title                          Debit           Credit

Cash                                       80,000

 Sales Revenue                                          56,000

  Deferred Revenue                                   24,000

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{8.8\% \ and \ 2.16 \%}".

Explanation:

Fischer relationship centered:

\to (1 + Nominal\  rate) = (1 + Real\ rate) \times (1 + Inflation)\\\\\to \text{For Costaguanan Stock},\\\\\to (1 + 97 \%) = (1 + Real \ rate) \times (1 + 81 \%)\\\\

\to (1 + 0.97 ) = (1 + Real \ rate) \times (1 + 0.81 )\\\\\to (1.97) = (1 + Real \ rate) \times (1.81)\\\\ \to (1 + Real \ rate) = \frac{1.97}{1.81} \\\\\to (1 + Real \ rate) = 1.088 \\\\\to Real \ Rate = 1.088 -1 \\\\

                     = 0.088 \\\\= 8.8\%

\text{For Ruritania Stock,}

\to (1 + 17 \%) = (1 + Real \ rate) \times (1 + 4 \%)\\\\\to (1 + 0.17 ) = (1 + Real \ rate) \times (1 + 0.04 )\\\\\to (1.17) = (1 + Real \ rate) \times (1.04)\\\\\to (1 + Real \ rate) = \frac{1.17}{1.04}\\\\\to (1 + Real \ rate) = 1.216\\\\\to Real \ rate = 1.216 -1

                    = 0.216 \\\\=2.16 \%
