Answer:

Explanation:

Next year's dividend (D1) = 1.48

Perpetual growth rate (g) =2.5% or 0.025 as a decimal

Rate of return or discount rate = 12% or 0.12 as a decimal

Since the dividends will be growing at a constant rate with no definite time period, it means that it will grow at that rate forever.

Use present value of growing perpetuity formula to calculate the price of this stock;

Price = D1 /(r-g)

Price = 1.48 / (0.12 - 0.025)

= 1.48/ 0.095

= 15.5789

Therefore the maximum amount you should pay is $15.58

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

$81,020

Explanation:

The cost of the asset includes the cost of purchase less any given discount or tax returns and the addition of other cost incurred in making the asset available for use.

As such, the cost of the machine

= $77,000 - (5% * $77,000) + $2,000 + $4,520 + $1,350

= $81,020

The routine maintenance cost is not a part of the asset but an expense in p/l.

Suppose apples come in two quality​ levels, low quality and high quality. At a store in the​ apple-growing region, the price of​
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price of​ low-quality apples = ​$1 per pound

Price of high-quality apples = $4 per pound

Marginal utility of low-quality apples = 3 utils

Marginal utility of high-quality apples = 12 utils

Equimarginal:

(Marginal utility of low quality apples ÷ Price per apple) = (Marginal utility of high quality apples ÷ Price per apples)

(3 utils ÷ $1) = (12 utils ÷ $4)

3 = 3

Yes, Timmy is maximizing his utility as his equimarginal utility is same for both the goods as shown above.

Up in Smoke Tobacco Shops' bond carries a 9 percent coupon, pays interest semiannually, and has 10 years to maturity. What is th
lara [203]

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Since the bond is selling at a discount, it means that the coupon rate is blow the market rate, so the actual rate must be higher. Since there is only one option with an interest rate above 9%, we must check to see if it works.

10% yearly interest rate = 5% semiannual interest rate

we must determine the PV of the 20 coupons paid and the face value at maturity.

to calculate the PV of the 20 coupons ($45 each) we can use an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function with a 5% discount rate: PV of the coupons = $560.80

the PV of the face value in 10 years = $1,000 / 1.05²⁰ = $376.89

the present value of the coupons and the bond at maturity = $560.80 + $376.89 = $937.69. The PV using a 5% semiannual rate is very similar to $937.75, and since the question asked us to round up to the nearest whole percent, we can assume it is correct.
