Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The price and P/E ratio is

Price = Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Growth rate is

= ROE × plowback ratio

= 20% × 0.30

= 6%

And, the current year dividend is ×

= $2 × (1 - 0.30)

= $1.4

So, the price is

= $1.4 ÷ (0.14 - 0.06)

= $17.50

Now the P/E ratio is

= $17.50  ÷ 2

= 8.75

b)  For the present value of growth opportunities, the formula and the computation is

= Price of the stock - earnings ÷ required rate of return

= $17.50 - $2 ÷ 0.14

= 3.21

c)  The P/E ratio and the present value of growth opportunities is

But before that we need to find out the price which is

Price = Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Growth rate is

= ROE × plowback ratio

= 20% × 0.20

= 4%

And, the current year dividend is

= $2 × (1 - 0.20)

= $1.6

So, the price is

= $1.6 ÷ (0.14 - 0.04)

= $16

Now the P/E ratio is

= $16  ÷ 2

= 8

And, the growth opportunities is

= Price of the stock - earnings ÷ required rate of return

= $16 - $2 ÷ 0.14

= 1.72

Why might these sources of individual values not prove very helpful when making complex business decisions
Blababa [14]

Answer:

The first part of the question is missing:

"We all learn values from sources such as family, religion, and school. Why might these..."

To be honest, most of the time business decisions are not clean cut ethical or unethical, even if you are not doing anything wrong or illegal. When you are doing business you will try to make the largest possible profit and money doesn't just appear from no where, if you earn money, you will be taking it away from someone else. In the best case scenario, you will be giving that customer a higher perceived value than the cost of your product or service, so everyone wins.

But many times, not everyone wins. E.g. you manage a construction company and you will bid for a project, hopefully you will win and make money, but others will lose. Empathy is good for marketing, but very bad for finances.

When thousands of jobs are replaced not by Chinese workers, but instead by computers and robots, it's just bad luck for the unemployed. When large stores like Sears go bankrupt while Amazon surges, good for Amazon, bad for Sears.

You can purchase an item you need for a project for $10,000 and it has daily operating costs of $500, or you can lease the item
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

On the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Daily operating costs of $500
  • Purchasing cost for the item:  $10,000
  • Lease amount: $700

Let x is the number of days the purchase cost be the same as the lease cost. As we now that:

The total cost should be equal to the total lease received

<=> 10,000 + 500x = 700x

<=> 200x = 10000

<=> x = 50

Hence, on the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost
