Answer:

Ans. Current Share Price=$33.85

Explanation:

Hi, we first have to establish the dividend for the first 3 years and the  dividend when the growth rate falls off to a constant rate of 8% with the formula to find the present value of a perpetuity with constant growth rate. From there, we need to bring all the above cash flows to present value and that is the price of the share. The formula is as follows.

Price=\frac{D1}{(1+r)^{1}}+\frac{D2}{(1+r)^{2} } +\frac{D3}{(1+r)^{3} } +\frac{D3(1+g)}{(r-g)} \frac{1}{(1+r)^{3} }

To find D1, D2,and D3, we have to do this.

D1=Do(1+0.19)

D2=D1(1+0.19)

D3=D2(1+0.19)

Since 0.19 is the growth rate for 3 years. Everything should look like this

Price=\frac{4.04}{(1+0.12)^{1}}+\frac{4.29}{(1+0.12)^{2} } +\frac{25.52}{(1+0.12)^{3} } +\frac{25.52(1-0.08)}{(0.12+0.08)} \frac{1}{(1+0.12)^{3} } =33.85

notice that the sign of the last part do not coincide with the formula, that is because the growth rate from the first 3 years is -8%.

Best of luck.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?

So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.

c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.

This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.

d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?

Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.

The Insurance company guaranteed that the minimum rate that they will pay their policyholders as 3%. Just because the investments are now drawing only 2.5% due to the economic downtown does not absolve them of this agreement.

They must therefore still pay their policy holders the minimum return guaranteed which is 3%.
