at is owed to it by its customers) when a charge sale occurs,abill is sent out at the end of the month .payment is due within thirty days ,but may not occure in that time.if no payment is received within six months of the billing date,the amount is classified as bad debt.thus,an individual account is described by its age in months,or by "paid" or by "bad debt".For numerical values,assume that the prob. that payment is made in the first month is 0.8 and decline by 0.1 each additional month.that is,the prob.it is paid in the second month is 0.7 ,in the third month is 0.6,and so on. Formulate the terminating Markov chain that describes the debt payment.

Answer:

Explanation:

Here is the Markov chain, when the problem says 'terminating' it means that the probability after seven months never changes. After six months

accounting moves it to "bad debt," and, for the purposes of this problem, transistion probabilites end.

Month one: paid 0.8 unpaid 0.2

Month two: paid 0.7 unpaid 0.3

Month three: paid 0.6 unpaid 0.4

Month four: paid 0.5 unpaid 0.5

Month five: paid 0.4 unpaid 0.6

Month six: paid 0.3 unpaid 0.7

Month seven: and above paid 0 unpaid 1.0

Suppose Potter Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.50 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.00, $2.07, $
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using dividend growth model formula for finding dividend per year can be used to find the growth rate per year;

The formula would be D1 = D0(1+g)

and D2 = D1(1+g)

D3 = D2 (1+g)  and so on....

Starting with 2.00 dividend,  <u>growth rate from yr1-yr2;</u>

2.07 = 2.00*(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.00;

1+g = 2.07/ 2.00

1+g = 1.035

g = 1.035-1

g ( y1-y2) = 0.035 or 3.5%

<u>Growth rate from yr2-yr3;</u>

2.24 = 2.07(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.07;

2.24/2.07 = 1+g

1.0821 = 1+g

1.0821-1 = g

g= 0.0821 or 8.21%

Therefore, g(y2-y3) = 8.21%

<u>Growth rate from yr3-yr4;</u>

2.34 = 2.24(1+g)

Divide both sides by 2.24;

2.34/2.24 = 1+g

1.0446 = 1+g

1.0446 -1 =g

g =0.0446 or 4.46%

Therefore, g(y3-y4) = 4.46%

<u>Growth rate from yr4-yr5;</u>

2.50 = 2.34(1+g)

2.50/2.34 = 1+g

1.0684 = 1+g

1.0684-1 = g

g=0.0684 or 6.84%

Therefore, g(y4-y5) = 6.84%

Which of the following are examples of natural barriers to entry? Correct Answer(s) Drag appropriate answer(s) here Smaller comp
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

These are correct:

  • Smaller companies with smaller production processes have higher per unit costs than larger companies. - smaller firms find it harder to adopt economies of scale to reduce costs.
  • Over time, a firm takes control of 85% of the world’s supply of a chemical used in the production of plastic. - the firm has almost total control over a scarce resource, and new competitors have to scramble for the remaning 15%. (note: this is a natural barrier to entry as long as the pharmaceutical company did not collude with the government to reach such a high market share, in said case, it would be an artificial barrier to entry).
  • Lenders are hesitant to provide funding for new firms that will compete with a large, well-established firm. - a small firm may lack market credibility in the financial markets, because investors are hesitant about the future of the company, or do not expect high rates of return.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the current price per share is shown below:

Current price per share = Value of Firm  ÷ Number of stock outstanding

where,

Value of Firm is

= $800,000 ÷ 1.13 + $1,250,000  ÷ 1.13^2

= $1,686,897.96

And, the number of outstanding shares is 35,000 shares

So, the current share price is

= $1,686,897.96 ÷ 35,000 shares  

= $48.20

c. The computation of the shares of stock sold is shown below:

No of shares of stock must be sold is

= ($910,000 - $800,000) ÷ 48.20

= $2,282.16

c. The computation of the new price per share of stock is shown below:

Current price per share = Value of Firm  ÷ Number of stock outstanding

where,

Value of Firm is

= $910,000 ÷ 1.13 +  $1,250,000 ÷ 1.13^2

= $1,784,243.09

And, the number of outstanding shares is 35,000 shares and $2,282.16

So, the current share price is

= $1,784,243.09  ÷ 35,000 shares  + $2,282.16

= $47.86
