When opening your Roth IRA investing account , your financial advisor gives you two options.

If management wants to maximize its stock price, and if it believes that the dividend irrelevance theory is correct, then it mus

kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is False.

Explanation:

This statement is false, since the residual theory of dividends argues that these are irrelevant, that is, that the value of the company is not affected by its dividend policy. The main drivers of this theory are Modigliani and Miller. Both authors affirm that the value of the company is determined solely by the profitability and the degree of risk of its assets (investments), and that the way in which the organization divides its income between dividends and reinvestment does not have a direct effect on its value .

However, some studies show that significant changes in dividends affect the price of shares in the same direction, that is, increases in dividends translate into increases in stock prices, and vice versa. In response, M and M propose that the positive effects of dividend increases be attributed, not to the dividend itself, but to the informational content of dividends with respect to future income. Thus, any increase in dividends would cause investors to raise the price of the shares, while a decrease would cause a corresponding decrease in the price of the shares.

Suppose that an income producing property is expected to yield cash flows for the owner of $150,000 in each of the next five yea

vivado [14]

Answer:

$1,449,635.50

Explanation:

The computation of the value of the property today is shown below:

First the present value for 5 years is

Year Cash flows Discount factor Present value

1 $150,000 0.925925926 $138,888.89

2 $150,000 0.85733882 $128,600.82

3 $150,000 0.793832241 $119,074.84

4 $150,000 0.735029853 $110,254.48

5 $150,000 0.680583197 $102,087.48

Total present value $598,906.51

The discount factor is

= 1 ÷ (1 + rate)^years

And, the formula of future value is

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate)^number of years

$1,250,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.08)^5

$1,250,000 = Present value × 1.469328077

So, the present value is $850,729

Now the today value of the property is

= $598,906.51 + $850,729

= $1,449,635.50

1. The beta for Eastman Kodak is 1.10. The current six-month treasury bill rate is 3.25%. Estimate the cost of equity for Eastma

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

1) Cost of equity is 12.501%

2) Price of bond is $935.82

3) Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

Explanation:

1) Given:

Beta = 1.1

Risk free rate (Rf) = 3.25%

Market risk premium (Rp) = 8.41%

Using CAPM to compute cost of equity:

Re = Rf + β (Rp)

= 3.25 + 1.1(8.41)

= 12.501%

2) Price of bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10 years

Coupon rate = 8%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.08× 1000 = $80

Discount rate (rate) = 9% or 0.09

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of bond is $935.82. It is negative as it's cash outflow

3) Price of semi-annual bond is present value of bond.

Face value (FV) = $1,000

Maturity (nper) = 10×2 = 20 periods

Coupon rate = 8% ÷ 2 = 4%

Coupon payment (PMT) = 0.04× 1000 = $40

Discount rate (rate) = 9% ÷ 2 = 4.5% or 0.045

Using spreadsheet function =PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV)

Price of semi-annual bond is $934.96

Which of the following sentences express correct number style?

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: a. The professional software package included Web 2.0 applications, but it cost more than $1,200.

Explanation:

A simple rule for writing a correct number style is that when writing numbers between 1 - 9 ( single digits numbers), you should spell them out. When writing anything larger however or if writing multiple numbers, you should write them as numerals.

This convention can be typically broken every now and then in certain cases. One of those cases is that, if you have a situation where you have 2 numbers in a sentence, you have to use one style for it and if the 2 numbers consist of 1 small number and 1 large number you would preferably have to use numerals.

For this reason Option A which has two numbers written as numerals is correct.

It is worthy of note however, that different styles exist as do Citation Styles and this answer is based on the most rudimentary of said styles.
