<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks what the purpose of a safety stock is.

<h3>Answer: B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand​ and/or lead time.</h3>

The reason why answer choice "B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand​ and/or lead time" is the correct answer because companies have safety stocks to control the chances of having a stock out.

Safety stocks are also known as a "reserve" for a company, in other words, stocks that a company doesn't touch. It's to ensure that companies don't go through a time where there's an increase in demand while there is a "delay" in production.

If a companies stock demand goes up, but then they can't "produce" the amount that is needed to meet the demand, then they will go through "stock out" and have to go through what is called "stock out costs."

Safety stocks are also known as a "rainy-day" stock, due to the fact that safety stocks are used when a company are not having a great day with the "demand" / "value" of their stocks. It's just to "ensure" / "keep the company safe" from a huge stock out.

Presently, Stock A pays a dividend of $2.00 a share, and you expect the dividend to grow rapidly for the next four years at 20 p
Flura [38]

Answer:

In order to find the price of a stock which has different growth rate at different periods, we need to find the price at a time when the growth rate slows down after the initial burst of growth and is stable, in this case its in the 4th period.

Year 4 dividend = 2.07

Growth rate (G)= 8%

Required return (R)= 12%

DDM formula for stock price = D*(1+G)/R-G

2.07*(1+0.08)/0.04

=55.89

The maximum that you should be willing to pay for the stock 4 years from now is $55.89 but in order to find out what the maximum we should pay for the stock now, we need to discount this price 4 years back to the present value using the required return of 12 %

so 55.89/1.12^4=35.52

The maximum that you should be willing to pay for the stock now is $35.52
