Answer:

$12,300

Explanation:

I will assume that Joseph invested in the fund on July 14, 2013.

We have to calculate the future value to March 15, 2014 (8 months later).

since the interest is compounded semi annually, it will earn interest on January 14, 2014.

Future value = $12,000 x (1 + 2.5%) = $12,300

since the fund is going to earn interests again on July 14, 2014, the value on march 14 is the same = $12,300

natka813 [3]

Answer: Option E

Explanation: In a free market system the prices of goods and services produced are determined by the market forces of demand and supply. This are also known as open market.

The intervention of govt. in regulating such markets is very minimal. Thus, the control in such markets stands in hands of private owners. Therefore, the private owners produce with the single aim of profit maximization in such economies.

Hence we can conclude that the right option is E.

Price is sum of:

1. Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years;

2. Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year based on growth at 5%.

Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years:

PV1 = 3*(1+0.30)*0.8929 = 3.90*0.8929 = $3.482

*0.8929 = 1/1.12

PV2 = 3.90*1.30*0.7972 = 5.07*0.7972 = $4.042

PV3 = 5.07*1.30*0.7118 = 6.591*0.7118 = $4.691

PV4 = 6.591*1.30*0.6355 = 8.5683*0.6355 = $5.445

Total = $17.661

Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year:

Market price of the share at the end = 5th year dividend/(Required rate of return - growth rate)

5th year dividend = $8.5683*(1+growth rate) = $8.5683*(1+0.05) = $9

Market price of the share at the end = $9/(0.12-0.05) = $128.57

Present value of $128.57 is 128.57*0.6355(present value interest factor for year 4) = $81.7

So the price of share is $17.661+$81.7 = $99.37

trapecia [35]

Answer:

Stock price = $74.26

Explanation:

<em>The value of a share can be determined using the price earning ratio model. According to this model, the price of a share is estimated as the EPS of the company multiplied by a representative (benchmark) price- earning (P/E) ratio</em> .

The ratio relates the price of a stock to its earning. A stock with a higher P/R indicates a high potent for growth.

Price of stock =Earnings per share( EPS) × benchmark P/E ratio

The appropriate comparative price earnings ratio in the question has been given as 18.8 times.

DATA-

EPS- 3.95

PE- 18.8

Stock price = 3.95 × 18.8= $74.26

Stock price = $74.26
