Answer: Appreciate

Explanation:

When a country increases interest rates, it will lead to an appreciation in currency. This is because there will be more demand for the currency of the country because people will want to take advantage of the higher interest rates and make a gain.

As the demand for the currency increases but the supply stays the same, the value of the currency will appreciate.

With Australia taking up their interest rates, their dollar will appreciate in value.

pychu [463]

Answer:

a.

1st $5.43

2nd $5.89

3rd $6.39

4th $6.93

5th $7.52

6th $7.81

b.

$75.85

Explanation:

Dividend is the payment to the stockholders out of earning of the company. Companies have a dividend policy which determine the future dividend payments.

Dividend of each year can be calculated by using the growth rate as a discount in the compounding formula.

Dividend Payment

First year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^1 = $5.43

Second year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^2 = $5.89

Third year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^3 = $6.39

Fourth year = $5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^4 = $6.93

Fifth year =$5 x ( 1 + 8.5% )^5 = $7.52

Sixth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 3.8% )^1 = $7.81

b.

Intrinsic value of the stock is the present value of all the associated dividends

We need to calculate the present value of all the dividend payment.

First year = $5.43 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-1 =  $4.87

Second year = $5.89 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-2 = $4.74

Third year = $6.39 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-3 = $4.61

Fourth year = $6.93 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-4 = $4.48

Fifth year = $7.52 x ( 1 + 11.5% )^-5 = $4.36

After fifth year the dividend will be discounted as follow

PV of dividend after fifth year = [ $7.81 / (11.5% - 3.8%) ] x [ (1+11.5%)^-6 ] = $52.79

Intrinsic Value of Stock = Sum of PV of all dividends = $4.87 + $4.74 + $4.61 + $4.48 + $4.36 + $52.79 = $75.85

Alex

Answer:

net income = $106,000

Explanation:

net income = total revenues - total expenses = $772,000 - $666,000 = $106,000

Any additional capital raised will increase the company's cash flows (financing activity) and any dividends distributed will decrease them (another financing activity), but they do not affect the company's net income.
