Answer:
The price of the stock today is $16.83
Explanation:
The current price per share can be estimated using constant growth model of the DDM. The price per share can be calculated using the following formula,
P0 = D1 / r - g
To calculate the price today, we use the dividend expected for the next period. Thus, using the dividend that will be paid at t=11 or D11, we can calculate the price of the stock at t=10. We further need to discount this price using the required rate of return for 10 years to calculate the price of the stock today.
P10 = 6 * (1+0.04) / (0.14 - 0.04)
P10 = $62.4
The price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 62.4 / (1.14)^10
P0 = $16.83
Answer:
c. A new technology such as the Internet has just been introduced, and it increases investment opportunities.
Explanation:
Nominal interest rate is the sum of real interest rate and expected inflation rate.
If expected inflation rate falls, the nominal interest rate also falls.
During a recession, people are more unwilling to borrow funds ,this pushes interest rate down.
If investment opportunities increases, the demand for funds would increase and nominal interest rate would increase too.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
(A) Half-year and (D) Half-year
Explanation:
MACRS stands for Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System and is the most commonly-used tax depreciation method .Without getting into too much detail, MACRS is accelerated depreciation that allows for a larger deduction while the asset is still new. By comparison, straight-line depreciation gives you the same deduction year after year over the asset's useful life. MACRS cannot be used for intangible property, nor can it be used to depreciate. MACRS convention determines the number of months for which you can claim depreciation during a partial year, either when you first placed the asset in service or when you disposed of it. The mid-month convention only applies to residential rental property, nonresidential real property, and railroad grading or tunnel bore. It simply means that you get a half month's worth of depreciation no matter when that asset was placed into (or taken from) service during that month, whether that was at the beginning, middle, or end of the month. The half-year convention works the same way but instead of the month it goes by the year. In other words, you'll get 6 months' depreciation if the asset was placed into service or disposed of during the year, no matter if it was in January or December.
Answer:
6.91%
Explanation:
The formula for share price using the dividend growth model stated below can be used to determine the cost of equity as well whereby the formula is rearranged in order to make the cost of equity the subject as shown thus:
share price=expected dividend/(cost of equity-growth rate)
share price=$45
expected dividend=last dividend*(1+dividend growth rate)
expected dividend=$0.60*(1+5.5%)=0.633
cost of equity=the unknown
dividend growth rate=5.5%
45=0.633/(cost of equity-5.5%)
45*(cost of equity-5.5%)=0.633
cost of equity-5.5%=0.633/45
cost of equity=(0.633/45)+5.5%
cost of equity=6.91%
