Answer:

They are all price takers. 

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.

Market price is set by the forces of demand and supply. Therefore, firms are price takers. Because all firms sell identical goods, no seller can set the price for her goods. If a seller attempts to sell above the market price, it would lose patronage. A seller would have no incentive to sell below market price because they would be earning losses.

Perfect competition produces at : price = marginal cost = marginal revenue.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. the company's present businesses offer attractive growth opportunities and can be counted on to generate good earnings and cash flows for shareholders.

Explanation:

A commercial line of products refers to products that are related to each other by some condition such as price, use or distribution. If, after evaluating the market, it is found that these products have a high growth potential, the best thing would be to continue betting on them within a reasonable period of time to reach a considerable level of sales. These products can in some way motivate the sale of others and therefore generate profits in the medium or short term for the shareholders.

The last dividend paid by Wilden Corporation was $1.55. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 1.5% for 2 years,
shtirl [24]

Answer:

e)  $37.05

Explanation:

Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.

So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula

P = D (1+g)/r-g

r- rate of return, g = growth rate

Present value of the future dividends:

PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)

                     = 1.4047

PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)

                     =  1.27

PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)

Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)

=43.114

Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

  =43.114 × (1.12^(-2))

   = 34.37

Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37

                                       = $37.05

Note

To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0
