Answer:

This is true, the efficient market hypothesis only holds if all the investors are rational, for example if an investor is not rational and wants to make a loss instead of profit, then the efficient market hypothesis wont hold as the investor will be acting in a way that wont benefit him. When the investor acts irrationally, then he wont react correctly to the information he has and buy or sell stocks which he isn't supposed to buy or sell and this will change the price of the stock from what the price of the stock should be.

Megatrends stock will generate earnings of $2 per share this year. The discount rate for the stock is 10%, and the rate of retur

lawyer [7]

Answer:

a. Find both the growth rate of dividends and the price of the stock if the company reinvests the following fraction of its earnings in the firm:

(i) 0% ⇒ g = 0, P₀ = $2/10% = $20

(ii) 20% ⇒ g = 0.2 x 10% = 2%, P₀ = $1.632/8% = $20.40

(iii) 40% ⇒ g = 0.4 x 10% = 4%, P₀ = $1.248/6% = $20.80

b. Redo part (a) now assuming that the rate of return on reinvested earnings is 15%.

(i) 0% ⇒ g = 0, P₀ = $2/10% = $20

(ii) 20% ⇒ g = 0.2 x 15% = 3%, P₀ = $1.648/7% = $23.54

(iii) 40% ⇒ g = 0.4 x 15% = 6%, P₀ = $1.272/4% = $31.80

What is the present value of growth opportunities (PVGO) for each reinvestment rate

ROE = 10%, reinvestment rates:

(i) 0%: PVGO = $20 - $2/10% = $0

(ii) 20%: PVGO = $20.40 - $2/10% = $0.40

(iii) 40%: PVGO = $20.80 - $2/10% = $0.80

ROE = 15%, reinvestment rates:

(i) 0%: PVGO = $20 - $2/10% = $0

(ii) 20%: PVGO = $23.54 - $2/10% = $3.54

(iii) 40%: PVGO = $31.80 - $2/10% = $11.80

Explanation:

sustainable growth rate = g = retention rate x ROE

PVGO = stock price - earnings/Re

Which of these would be a good candidate for a one-variable data table and payment function?

choli [55]

The correct option is this: CHECKING SCENARIOS WITH VARIABLE DOWN PAYMENT.
A data table is a range of cells, which shows how changing one or two variables in one's formula can affect the value of that formula.
In excel, instead of creating several scenarios, one can create a data table with which one can quickly try out different values for formula.<span />

Consider the following two mutually exclusive projects:Year Cash Flow (X) Cash Flow (Y)0 ?$16,400 ?$16,400 1 6,660 7,190 2 7,240

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

1a. 7.12%

b. 6.99%

2. 9.69%

Explanation:

The IRR is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

The IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator.

The IRR for project X :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-16,400

Cash flow in year 1 = $6,660

Cash flow in year 2 = $7240

Cash flow in year 3= $4760

IRR = 7.12%

The IRR for project Y :

Cash flow in year 0 = $-16,400

Cash flow in year 1 = $7,190

Cash flow in year 2 = $7,780

Cash flow in year 3 = $3530

IRR = 6.99%

The cross over rate is the rate that equates the cash flow from both projects.

The first step is to subtract the cash flow from project Y from the cash flow of project X

Cash flow for year 0 = $16400 - $16400 = 0

Cash flow for year 1 = $6,660 - $7,190 = $-530

Cash flow for year 2 =$7,240 -$7,780 =$-540

Cash flow for year 3 = $4,760 - $3,530 = $1230

The next step is to find the discount rate using a financial calculator.

Cash flow for year zero = 0

Cash flow for year one = $-530

Cash flow for year 2 =$-540

Cash flow for year 3 =$1230

Cross over rate = 9.69%
