Answer:

The intrinsic value of the stock is $36.55 and option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required rate of return on the stock which is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in the stock.

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the return on market

r =  0.02 + 1.29 * (0.1 - 0.02)   =  0.1232 or 12.32%

The stock's dividend growth is constant. Thus, the current price or intrinsic value of such a stock can be calculated using the constant growth model of the DDM. Th formula for price under the constant growth model is,

P0 = D1 / r-g

Where,

  • D1 is the dividend expected for the next period or D0 * (1+g)
  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

P0 = 3 * (1+0.038)  /  (0.1232 - 0.038)

P0 = $36.549 rounded off to $36.55

Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Cat. Labor costs will
liberstina [14]

Question Completion:

Assume the following:

Selling price per unit = $54

Current total variable cost = $24.50

Total Fixed Costs = $69,000

Answer:

Chester

To break-even on product Cat, Chester needs to sell 2,379 units instead of 2,339 units.

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

New variable cost will increase by ($3.40 - $2.90)/2 = $0.25

New variable costs will be = $24.75 ($24.50 + $0.25)

Contribution margin per unit = $29.25 ($54 - $24.75)

New fixed costs = $69,000 + ($0.25 * 2,339) = $69,585

Old break-even units = $69,000/$29.50 = 2,339 units

New break-even units = Fixed cost/contribution margin per unit

= $69,585/$29.25

= 2,379 units

b) Chester's break-even point in units is calculated by using the break-even formula: Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit) or $69,585/$29.25.  The variable cost per unit includes only the cost that will be passed to customers.  This means that half of the labor cost is regarded as variable, while the other half is taken is fixed cost.

coldgirl [10]

To run the business, he outlays $8,000 in cash to cover all the costs involved with running the business, and earns revenues of $150,000. Winston's implicit costs $64,000

<h3>What is implicit costs?</h3>

Any expense that has already happened but isn't always shown or reported as a separate charge is considered an implicit cost. It stands for an opportunity cost that develops when a business commits internal resources to a project without receiving any direct payment in exchange.

For instance, losing out on sales and commissions while training a new employee takes up a day. This opportunity cost, often known as the commission and other pay, is a cost to the employee or trainer.

Explicit costs are distinguished from implicit costs by economists. Out-of-pocket costs including those for labour, supplies, and rent are considered explicit costs, also known as accounting costs. Implicit costs are expenses a company faces without making a direct financial commitment.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

<u>less risk</u>

Explanation:

Note: <u>The question appears to be incomplete. Another similar question has been attached for reference purpose and the answer provided herein is based upon that</u>.

It is common consumer behavior of sticking to a brand name despite another lower cost option providing the same base or constituent. Particularly in case of necessities, the law of demand i.e lower price higher demand fails as consumer would prefer being exposed to lesser risk no matter whatever be the cost.

In the given case, the consumer i.e Cole prefers going with a brand name as it provides him with a higher degree of assurance as the brand has a certain reputation attached to it which the other generic option lacks.

Secondly owing to his familiarity with the drug and it's past usage experience, he has developed brand loyalty apparently.

Thus, Cole's decision is attributable to <u>less risk.</u>
