Answer:

c) 11%

Explanation:

The question is to determine the rate of return on Groupong Inc's

The rate of return represents an investment's net gain or net loss calculated over a period of time and usually expressed in terms of the percentage of the initial cost of investment.

The rate of return in this question is calculated as follows:

Rate of Return = (The Dividend for the next year/ the current price of the share) + The Growth rate

The dividend for the next year = current year dividend x (1+r), where r is 3.5

= 2.78 x (1+0.035)

=2.78 x 1.035

= (2.8773/38.3) + 0.035

=0.1101 or 11%

topjm [15]

Answer:

It would sell for 761.49 dollars

Explanation:

Generally, stock prices are determined on stock market based on supply and demand mechanism. However, according to the discount dividend model present value of stock could be calculated as dividend per share/(cost of capital equity-growth rate). Growth rate between year 1 and 2 is 3-4/4 equals to -0.25%. From year 2 until year 3 it is 46-3/3 equals to 14.33%. Now we can take arithmetic average of these two and we get 7.04%( 14.33-0.25/2). Finally share could sell today for 46+3+4/(14-7.04%) equals to 761.49 dollars

A beneficiary acquired stock from a decedent. The stock's fair market value at the date of the decedent's death was $500,000. Th
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Beneficiary recognized gain is $510000.

Explanation:

The amount paid by the decedent for the stock = $280000

The market value of the stock at the time of death = $500000

The selling price or the amount received by the beneficiary by the sell of stock = $510000

Since the recognized gain is calculated by subtracting the amount paid by the person to buy the stock from the amount that he receives from the sale of stock. But in this case, the beneficiary pays zero for the stock but gets all the money after selling.

Beneficiary recognized gain = amount received from the sell – the amount paid by the beneficiary.

= $510000 – 0

= $510000
