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.

the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio is 1.73

Explanation:

The computation of the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio is shown below:

risk free asset contains the beta of 0

And,  

market beta = 1

Now  

1 = 1 ÷ 3 × 0 + 1 ÷ 3 × 1.27 + 1 ÷ 3 × beta

The beta of other stock = 1.73

hence, the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio is 1.73

Here we assume that one-third should be invested in all 3 things each

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

a. unethical

Explanation:

This company's behavior is unethical. In the globalized world, it is natural for transnational firms to direct their production structure to countries where labor is cheaper, as this makes their product more competitive in the international market. However, these firms must not take advantage of regulatory failures in the labor market in these countries to increase their profit. Every firm must be concerned and ensure that the physical integrity and health of employees who work on its plants is preserved, regardless of location. Thus, in order to act ethically, this firm should implement process improvements to minimize the exposure of employees to chemical agents and to inhibit the exploitation of the labor that occurs when employees work in excess and without being paid for overtime.
