Answer:

A government department is a sector of the UK government that deals with a particular area of interest. Government departments are either ministerial or non-ministerial departments.

Ministerial departments are led politically by a Government Minister, usually called a ‘secretary of state’ and supported by a team of junior ministers and civil servants, themselves led by a Senior Civil servant known as a permanent secretary, in charge of administrative management. Ministerial departments cover matters requiring direct political oversight, such as the Department for Transport or the Foreign Office.

Metallica Bearings, Inc., is a young start-up company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next seven years, because

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The price of the stock today will be $66.19

Explanation:

To calculate the price of a stock whose dividends will grow at a constant rate forever is calculated using the constant growth model of dividend discount model approach. To calculate the price of the stock today using this model, we use the following formula,

P0 = D1 / r - g

We will first calculate the price of the stock at t=8 using D9 because we use the next period's dividend to calculate the price of a stock. We will then discount back the price at t=8 to today's price.

P8 = 14.25 * (1+0.06) / (0.14 - 0.06)

P8 = $188.8125

The price of the stock today will be,

P0 = 188.8125 / (1+0.14)^8

P0 = $66.189 rounded off to $66.19

A stock has an expected return of 11.85 percent, its beta is 1.24, and the expected return on the market is 10.2 percent. What m

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The risk free rate is 3.325%

Explanation:

The required rate of return or cost of equity of a stock can be calculated using the CAPM. The CAPM estimates the required rate of return of a stock based on three factors- risk free rate, stock's beta and the market risk premium. The equation of required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate
rM is the return on market
(rM - rRF) gives us the risk premium of market

We already have the values for r, Beta and rM. Plugging in these values in the formula, we calculate the rRF to be,

Let rRF be x.

0.1185 = x + 1.24 * (0.102 - x)

0.1185 = x + 0.12648 - 1.24x

1.24x - x = 0.12648 - 0.1185

0.24x = 0.00798

x = 0.00798/0.24

x = 0.03325 or 3.325%

A farmer and a meatpacker use the commodity markets to reduce their risk. One agrees to buy live cattle in the future at a fixed

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

A farmer is the one that owns the cattle and is ready to sell it on the market demand, while the meatpacker is the one who buys the product and sells it in different parts to the end consumers.

Since they both are using the commodity market to reduce the risk, the farmer will be the one who agrees to sell the cattle in the future at a fixed rate, while the meatpacker will be the one who agrees to buy the cattle in the future at a specified price fixed by him.

Hope this helps. ThankYou.
