Answer: c. earns a higher return than the rate paid on debt.

Explanation:

If the debt that the company incurs leads to the company making more money than they are paying as interest for the debt, then more money will be available as net income which would increase the Return on Equity.

ROE is calculated by dividing the Net Income by Shareholder equity. Interest is an expense. If this expense is lower then the increase in net income as a result of the debt then it follows that net income would increase and so would ROE.

HELP PLEASE HURRY!!!! Is it fair to restrict people's ability to work based on their age? Why or why not? Justify your answer.
7nadin3 [17]
Yes, it is fair. Younger people (Below 18) need to focus more on school. Work can take their attention off of school. And without school they wont be able to get a better job. Plus younger people can only work part time due to child labor. Most workers below 18 also have parents  that's job is to feed and care for them, which means they do not even need to work until they are over 18. most people that work under the age of 18 is just for the fact of having money, not because they need it to live.

A rapidly growing company just paid a dividend of $1.50 a share. For the next three years, the earnings growth rate is projected
Lelu [443]

Answer:

$41.66

Explanation:

Let us assume the dividend in year n be denoted by Dn and the Stock price by Pn

Given that,

D0 = $1.50

Now

Growth rate for next 3 years

g1 = 15%

D1 = D0 × (1 + g1)

    = 1.50 × (1 + 0.15)

   = 1.725

D2 = D1 × (1 + g1)

= 1.725 × (1 + 0.15)

= 1.984

D3 = D2 × (1 + g1)

= 1.984 × (1 + 0.15)

= 2.282

Subsequent Growth rate = g2 = 4%

Now  

D4 = D3 × (1 + g2)

     = 2.282 × (1 + 0.04)

     = 2.373

So, According to Gordon's Growth Rate,

P3 = D4 ÷(r - g2)

P3 = 2.373 ÷ (0.09 - 0.04)

    = $47.46

Now  

Value of Stock now  is

= P0

= D1 ÷ (1 + r) + D2 ÷ (1 + r)^2 + D3 ÷ (1 + r)^3 + P3 ÷ (1 + r )^3

= 1.725 ÷ (1 + 0.09) + 1.984 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^2 + 2.282 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^3 + 47.46 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^3

= $41.66
