"The company will pay a dividend of $15 per share 10 years from today and will increase the dividend by 5 percent per year there
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Current Share price= $114.21

Explanation:

The Dividend Valuation Model is a technique adopted to detremine the value of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows that would arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return (discount rate)

The model is premised on the concept of the time value of money. The idea that $1 today is not the same as $1 tomorrow. The $1 of today is worth more than that of tomorrow; because of the opportunity to earn interest. So to determine the worth of a future cash flow, we compute its worth today- its present value.

The Present Value of a future cash flow is the amount that needs to be invested today at a particular rate of return to equal the same cash flow in the future. Present value means the value in year 0 or now

The process of calculating the present value of a future sum is called discounting. So to calculate the current stock price in this question, we shall discount the future dividends using the required rate of return and then add them together.

So if an asset (e.g a stock) promises some cash flows in the future, those cash flows need to be brought to their present values and then be added to arrive at the value of the asset

In this question, the cash flows are the dividends as given and the rate of return (discount rate) is 15%

So we apply this model as follows:

Step 1 : PV of div from year 1 to 10  =  15× ((1-1.15)^(-10))/0.15)  =  75.282

Step 2:PV (in year 10)of div from year 11 onward=(15×1.05)/(0.15-0.05)=  157.5

Step 3:PV(in year 0) of div from year 11 onward =  157.5 × (1.15)^ (-10) =  38.93

Current Share price= $75.282 + $38.93 = $114.21

<em>Note:</em><em> step 3 is important because the the cash flows from year 11 onward were discounted to arrive at their values in year 10. Since we are interested in the current price i.e year 0 value, it is important that we re-discount again to bring them to their PV in year 0.</em>

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Some of the advantages and conveniences of buying internationally are as follows:

1. Revenues are expanding;

2. Competition among firms will be decreasing;

3. Diversifying the risk management;

4. Getting the chance to specialize (1);

The difference between buying a shirt made in Canada, but find the same one made in China is the availability of raw materials. The same raw materials can be found in various countries with the help of international trade. Transportation makes the difference either. The final difference is where you are staying. If you stay in Canada, you might get the Canadian shirt cheaper than the Chinese one. Again, if you stay in China, you might find the cheaper price in China. If you do not stay in both of the countries, it will be difficult to assume.

Workers were lured with attractive wages and accommodation. But, the wages were paid in 'Scrips' which were company printed currency meant to be spent in the stores owned by the company owned and controlled stores inside the company town. This led to the employees getting dependent on employers and their personal freedom and space getting interfered by employers. This relation led to the term 'Wage Slavery'.
