Answer:

true, it reduces costs by sharing activities

Explanation:

In this case, since the diversified firm has three different businesses that share common marketing and service operations, it is benefiting from a type of economies of scope called shared activities.

Economies of scope basically refers to saving money when producing two or more goods or services by using common production processes in order to reduce costs. The joint production of the goods or services will cost less than if the company produced each one separately.

This company is benefiting from using shared activities because one single marketing unit and another single operations unit will serve the three separate businesses.

Avocado Incorporated just paid a dividend of $3. An analyst expects this dividend to grow at a rate of 12% for the next 3 years.
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The most you should pay for this stock is 126.89

Explanation:

The dividend in years 1 – 3 will grow at 12% and then at 5% forever.  

We had to get the PV for the dividends in years 1-3 (year 3 also includes the estimated future value of the stock).

We used our calculators to find the PV of each year at the 8% discount rate.  Finally we will add them all together to get the final answer.

We find the future dividends using g =12%

Dividend in year 0 --->

Dividend in year 1 ---> 3.36

Dividend in year 2 ---> 3.76

Dividend in year 3 ---> 4.21

Dividend in year 4 ---> 4.43

Now we will calculate the present value of the future dividends using r = 8%

Stock Value assuming constant growth rate  = 147.52 --(a)

PV in year 1 ---> 3.11

PV in year 2 ---> 3.23

PV in year 3 ---> 120.45  --(discounting (a))

= 120.45 + 3.23 + 3.11

= 126.89
