Answer:

The value of this stock today should be $6.22

Explanation:

The company will start paying dividends 2 years from today that is at t=2. The dividends received 2 years from today can be denoted as D2. The constant growth model of DDM will be used to calculate the price of this stock at t=2 as the growth rate in dividends is constant forever.

The price at t=2 will then be discounted back to its present value today to calculate the price of this stock today.

The price of this stock at t=2 will be,

P2 = D2 * (1+g) / (r - g)

P2 = 0.6 * (1+0.04)  /  (0.12 - 0.04)

P2 = $7.8

The value of this stock today should be,

P0 = 7.8 / (1+0.12)^2

P0 = $6.218 ROUNDED OFF TO $6.22

Answer:

Price of share = $ 0.6696

Explanation:

<em>According to the dividend valuation model , the current price of a stock is the present value of the expected future dividends discounted at the required rate of return</em>

This principle can be applied as follows:

Year 2  0.60× 1.12^(-2) = $0.04783

PV of year of year 3 onward

This will  done in two steps:

Step 1

Calculate the PV of dividend in year 2 terms

= 0.60× 1.04 /(0.12-0.04) = $0.78

Step 2

Re-discount the PV (in year 2) to year 0

0.78 × 1.12 ^(-2) = 0.621811224

Price of share

=0.04783 +0.621811

=$ 0.6696

Your financial analyst calculated the following ratios for three companies: Boeing Microsoft PG&amp;E Cash ratio 0.15 0.1 0.1 Cu
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: Not necessarily: The debt ratios are not directly comparable, since each company is in a different industry.

Explanation:

We cannot authoritatively state that even though Boeing has such a high debt rate, that it is a riskier company than either Microsoft or PG&E. This is due to the drawback in ratio analysis of bias if compared across different industries.

Ratio analysis best works when comparing companies in the same industry because their situations will be similar. Comparing across industries can be misleading because different industries operate in different ways. In the Airplane manufacturing business for instance, having a high amount of debt due to having the tangible assets to back it up might be a normal thing.

The debt ratios are therefore not directly comparable because each company is in a different industry.

The better-off test for evaluating whether a particular diversification move is likely to generate added value for shareholders
Arada [10]

Answer:  Has competitively valuable value chain match-ups with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart.

Explanation:

The better-off test of diversification is that the company must gain a return that is higher than incremental growth. Incremental growth is usually defined a 1 + 1 = 2 formula and this test argues that Diversification must provide more than this such that the company achieves synergistic growth ( 1 + 1 = 3) which is what happens when different entities work better together than alone.

Diversification should therefore be into an area that will be able to match-up with the company's present businesses such that its businesses can perform better together than apart and produce even greater returns.
