Answer:
a. 26%
b. 28.2%
Explanation:
Consider the following formula:
Gross profit ratio = Net sales - Cost of sales / Net sales
Walgreen's 2015 gross profit ratio: (103444-76520)/103444
26.0%
Walgreen's 2014 gross profit ratio: (76392-54823)/76392
28.2%
Answer:
The price of the stock today is $15.63
Explanation:
The three stage Dividend Discount model will be used to calculate the price of this stock as the dividends are growing at three different growth rates. These dividends will be discounted back to calculate the price of the stock today.
The price per share today under this model will be:
P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [Dn * (1+gC) / (r - gC)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
- D1 is the dividend expected for the next period of Year 1.
- gC is the constant growth rate or third stage growth rate that will last forever.
P0 = 1.25 / (1+0.2) + 1.25 * (1+0.4) / (1+0.2)^2 + 1.25 * (1+0.4) * (1+0.2) / (1+0.2)^3 + 1.25 * (1+0.4) * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.2)^4 +
[1.25 * (1+0.4) * (1+0.2)^2 * (1+0.08) / (0.2 - 0.08)] / (1+0.2)^4
The P0 = $15.625 rounded off to $15.63
Answer:
- Compound Interest ⇒ FV = PV x (1 + I ) ^N
- Simple Interest ⇒ FV = PV x I x N
Explanation:
With compound interest the rate of growth needs to be compounded which is why the time period is used to exponentially adjust it.
With simple interest there is no compounding so the value is simply the interest that will be earned every period (which is a constant value) multiplied by the number of periods and the amount to be invested.
Answer:
$1,247.12
Explanation:
For computing the asked price we need to apply the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below
Given that,
Future value = $1,000
Rate of interest = 4.151% ÷ 2 = 2.076%
NPER = 17 years × 2 = 34 years
The 20 years come from May 2019 to May 2036
PMT = $1,000 × 6.193% ÷ 2 = $30.965
The formula is shown below:
= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)
So, after applying the above formula, the present value or the ask price is $1,247.12
