Answer:
Combined Communications
The current value of one share of this stock if the required rate of return is 15.5 percent is:
= $46.00.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Annual dividend = $0.20
Expected growth rate for the next 4 years - 15%
Expected growth rate after 4 years = 11.5% (15% - 3.5%)
Required rate of return = 15.5%
Current Price of the share = Annual Dividend * (1 + Dividend Growth Rate)/ (Required rate of return - Dividend Growth Rate)
= ($0.20 * 1 + 0.15)/ (0.155 - 0.15)
= $0.23/0.005
= $46
Future Price after 4 years = ($0.23 * 1 + 0.115)/(0.155 - 0.115)
= $0.25645/0.04
= $6.41
Answer:
Rejected
Explanation:
Given that
CF0 = $100 million
CF1 = $-60 million
CF2 = $-60 million
Discount rate of return = 12%
So, the computation of the net present value is shown below:
Net present value = Initial investment - annual cash flows
where,
Annual present value
= Yearly cash flows × PVIFA factor for 12% at 2 years
= -$60 million × 1.6901
= -$101.406 million
And, the initial investment = $100 million
So, the net present value is
= $100 million - $101.406 million
= -$1.406 million
Therefore, The project should be rejected
Answer: CPM and PERT use different activity time estimates.
Explanation:
Program (Project) Management and Review Technique (PERT) is appropriate when the project time needed to complete different activities are unknown while the Critical Path Method or CPM is fitted for recurring projects in nature. PERT deals with activities that are not predictable but CPM deals with repetitive activities. PERT focuses/concentrates on time while CPM focuses on time-cost & trade-off. Also, PERT requires three-time estimate while CPM requires one-time estimate. PERT uses a probabilistic model and on the other hand, CPM uses a deterministic model. In PERT, a technique of planning and controlling time is used but CPM uses a technique to control cost and time.
