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

maria [59]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As a company's sales level increases, its current assets will increase, e.g. cash, inventories, accounts receivables increase. generally, also the fixed assets increase, specially if the firm was previous producing at full capacity even before total sales increased. But as sales increase, not only do the company's assets increase, its current liabilities generally increase also, and its profits should increase. In this case, 60% of the company's profits are reinvested in the company, and the liabilities represent more than half of the total assets. Therefore, it is possible that the company needs external financing, but it is also possible that it doesn't. You cannot assume that the company will necessarily need external financing, because retained earnings  and the increase in current liabilities might be enough to finance the company's growth in sales.
