Answer:
$51.25
Explanation:
P9 = Next dividend / Required rate r - Growth rate g
P9 = $15 / 14% - 5%
P9 = $15 / 9%
P9 = $166.67
Po = P9 / (1 - Required rate of return)^9
Po = $166.67 / (1 + 0.14)^9
Po = $166.67 / 3.2519
Po = $51.25
So, the current stock price is $51.25.
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
A convertible debenture can sell for more than its conversion value or less than its bond value.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Net profit margin ratio (%) for 2017 will be:
= Net income/Net sales
= 6220/89500
= 0.0695
= 6.95%
Net profit margin ratio (%) for 2018 will be:
= Net income/Net sales
= 6370/91000
= 0.07
= 7%
An improvement of (7% - 6.95%) = 0.05% occurs in net profit.
2. Asset turnover for the year ended 2017 will be:
Net sales/Average total assets
= 89500/64400
= 1.39
= 139%
Asset turnover for the year ended 2018 will be:
Net sales/Average total assets
= 91000/65000
= 1.4
= 140%
There's an improvement in the asset turnover in 2018.
3. Return on assets for 2017 will be:
= Net income/Average total asset
= 6220/64400
= 9.66%
Return on assets for 2018 will be:
= Net income/Average total asset
= 6370/65000
= 9.80%
An improvement in return on total assets of (9.80% - 9.66%) = 0.14% occurs.
Both component-net profit margin ratio or asset turnover- are responsible for the change in the company's return on assets.
Answer:
brand equity
Explanation:
Brand equity refers to the commercial value added to one product or service by the customer's perception of its brand. Some brands have a higher brand equity and customers perceive them as high quality or luxury products, e.g. Mercedes Benz or Apple. While other brands are perceived as common or ordinary products with medium or low quality.
Two products may be identical or very similar, but the fact that a product's brand may be perceived as better than the other, allows a company to charge a higher price for it.
