Answer:

Laptop = $3250

Desktop = $2900

Explanation:

Total finance charge = $398

Laptop cost = 350 + x

Desktop = X

<u>Workings</u>

Finance cost = (7% *X ) + (6% * 350+x ) = 398

0,07 X + 0.06 X + 21 = 398

0.13 X + 21 = 398

0.13 X = 398 -21

0.13 X = 377

Therefore ,X = 377/0.13

=2900

Cost of Desktop = 2900

Cost of Laptop =2900+350 =3,250

Zephyr Electricals is a company with no growth potential. Its last dividend payment was $4.50, and it expects no change in futur
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: $50

Explanation:

We can use the Gordon Growth Model of Stock Valuation. The formula is thus,

P = D1 / r – g

D1 = the annual expected dividend of the next year

r = rate of return

g = the expected dividend growth rate (assumed to be constant)

There is no growth potential and dividends are expected to stay the same so no growth rate and D1 will be the same as D0.

Plugging that into the formula therefore will give us

P = D1/r

P= 4.5/0.09

= $50

Current Stock Price is $50.
