Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The single-factor productivity of the firm is 1 seat per labor hour.

Explanation:

The Single-factor productivity means the output when a unit of input is used. It is used to identify how many resources are used to produce a unit output.

The Acme Aircraft produce 1 aircraft seat per labor hour.

The single-factor productivity is calculated by formula :

Output/Input

No. of seats produced / ( No. of workers * Hours worked )

Single Factor Productivity = 2 Seats / 4 workers * 0.5 (30/60) hours

Adams and Collin Enterprises expect earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 25% for the next 4 years, after the growth rate

ollegr [7]

Answer:

the intrinsic value of the stock is 42.97

If the stock is priced at 40 dollars it would be a good idea to purchase the share as will provide a better yield than the cost of capital of 9.6%

Explanation:

First, we solve for the cost of equity using the CAPM:

$Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)$

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.09

premium market = (market rate - risk free) = 0.055

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.2

$Ke= 0.03 + 1.2 (0.055)$

Ke = 0.09600

Now we solve for the intrinsic price using the gordon model

with multi-stage growth:

First, we calcualte the future dividends

grow rate Dividends

0 1.25

1 0.25 1.5625

2 0.25 1.953125

3 0.25 2.44140625

4 0.25 3.051757813

4 0.03 3.143310547

Now in the last year, we calcualte using the gordon model or constant grow:

$\frac{3.143310547}{0.096-0.03} = Intrinsic \: Value$

32.7128182

Now we calculate and add together the present value of each of this future cash flow to determnate the intrinsic value ofthe share:

$\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Present Value

1 1.5625 / (1+0.096)^1 = 1.425638686

2 1.953125 / (1+0.096)^2 = 1.625956531

and so on, giving the following values:

3 1.854421226

4 2.114987712

present value of the future dividends at 3% 22.67126448

Finally we add them and get:

42.97160726

Great Lakes Steel Supply is losing significant market share and thus its managers have decided to decrease the firm's annual div

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

There's an error in the numbers for this question; I found the correct one and pasted it below;

"Great Lakes Steel Supply is losing significant market share and thus its managers have decided to decrease the firm's annual dividend. The last annual dividend was $1.30 per share but all future dividends will be decreased by 2.75 percent annually. What is a share of this stock worth today at a required return of 15.5 percent? "

Explanation:

Use dividend discount model (DDM) to calculate the stock price

$P0 = \frac{D0(1+g)}{r-g}$

whereby,

P0 = Current price

D0 = Last dividend paid = 130

g = growth rate = -275% or -2.75 as a decimal

r = required return = 155% or 1.55 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers to the DDM formula above;

$P0 = \frac{1.30(1-0.0275)}{0.155 + 0.0275} \\ \\ = \frac{1.2643}{0.1825} \\ \\ =6.9277$

Therefore this stock is worth $6.93
