Answer:

A) Yes, because the firm could sell the warehouse if it didn’t use it for the new project.

Explanation:

  • The option A is correct in our scenario, because the firm still have the option to sale the warehouse even they want to use it for the new project.
  • The option B is not correct as the cost of warehouse is not sunk cost, such a cost that has been utilized and  can't be recovered, but we can sale the warehouse and get the payment.
  • The option C is incorrect as once the project is complete then it would be a part of that project so they will not sale the warehouse.

Last year mike bought 100 shares of Dallas corporation common stock for = $53 per share
he received this year dividends of = $1.45 per share
stock is currently selling for = $60 per share
rate of return = ?
capital yield %= (60 - 53 / 53) x 100 = 0.132  x 100 = 13.2%
dividend yield % = (1.45 / 53) x 100 = 0.0273 x 100 = 2.73%
Total yield or rate of return will be = 13.2 + 2.73 = 15.94 %

A company is projected to have a free cash flow of $329 million next year, growing at a 5.7% rate until the end of year 3.
uysha [10]

Answer:

$14.35

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate enterprise value (EV) of this company, which is equal to present value of all free cashflows (CF):

  • Terminal value of free cashflow at year 3 = Year 4 CF/(Cost of capital - Long-term growth) = [329 x (1 + 5.7%)^2 x (1 + 2.1%)]/(13.3% - 2.1%) = $3,350.84
  • EV of the company =  329/(1 + 13.3%) + [329 x (1 + 5.7%)]/(1 + 13.3%)^2 + [329 x (1 + 5.7%)^2 + 3,350.84]/(1 + 13.3%)^3 = $3,117.91

Secondly, we calculate equity value as below:

EV = Equity value + Net debt = Equity value + (Debt - Cash), or:

3,117.91 = Equity value + (64 - 18), or  Equity value = $3,071.91.

Finally, stock price of the company = Equity value/Number of shares = 3,071.91/214 = $14.35.

Combined Communications is a new firm in a rapidly growing industry. The company is planning on increasing its annual dividend b
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Current Market value of the stock at 8.5% return: 105.88

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of the dividends:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Year&Cash \: Flow&PV\\1&1.722&1.59\\2&2.12&1.8\\3&2.61&2.04\\4&3.21&2.32\\5&3.40&98.13\\&&105.88\\\\\end{array}\right]

We will do the following:

each dividends we multiply by the previous, by the grow rate of 23%

D1 1.40 x ( 1 + 23%) = D2 = 1.722

D2 1.722 x ( 1 + 23%) = D3 = 2.12

...

Then after the four years we calculate the gordon model for the infinite series of dividends

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

3.95/(0.085-0.06) = 158

Then calculate the present of each dividends applying the present value of a lump sum

\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

\frac{1.722}{(1 + 0.085)^{1} } = PV_{div1}

PV div1 = 1.59

\frac{2.12}{(1 + 0.085)^{2} } = PV_{div2}

PV div2 = 1.8

\frac{2.61}{(1 + 0.085)^{3} } = PV_{div3}

PV div3 = 2.04

...

Then we add them and get the present value of the stock
