Professor Bai is worried about his job security, and has started to venture into a new startup. Perhaps surprisingly, he is able

to take his startup to IPO within a 5-year period (please allow me to dream). The firm has just announced its first dividend of $3/share and the firm’s dividend is expected to grow extremely fast for 4 years in a row at 30% each year. However, Professor Bai expects that the company will only grow at 5% after that forever (Professor Bai is vampire and lives forever!!). Expected return (discount rate) for stocks is 12%. Please use the dividend discount model to price the stock at t=0.

Answer:

Explanation:

Price is sum of:

1. Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years;

2. Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year based on growth at 5%.

Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years:

PV1 = 3*(1+0.30)*0.8929 = 3.90*0.8929 = $3.482

*0.8929 = 1/1.12

PV2 = 3.90*1.30*0.7972 = 5.07*0.7972 = $4.042

PV3 = 5.07*1.30*0.7118 = 6.591*0.7118 = $4.691

PV4 = 6.591*1.30*0.6355 = 8.5683*0.6355 = $5.445

Total = $17.661

Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year:

Market price of the share at the end = 5th year dividend/(Required rate of return - growth rate)

5th year dividend = $8.5683*(1+growth rate) = $8.5683*(1+0.05) = $9

Market price of the share at the end = $9/(0.12-0.05) = $128.57

Present value of $128.57 is 128.57*0.6355(present value interest factor for year 4) = $81.7

So the price of share is $17.661+$81.7 = $99.37

Huai takes out a $3,600 student loan at 6.6% to help him with 2 years of community college. After finishing the 2 years, he tran

Alja [10]

Answer:

a. The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Explanation:

a. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 1.

To determine the amount of periodic payments, the present value of annuity formula should be used:

$PV=P(\frac{1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} )$

Where:

PV= present value

p=periodic payment

i=rate of interest

n=number of periods

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 3,600 (loan).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 6.6% or 0.066. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.066 / 12).

n= 4 years and 7 months, that is 55 months.

And we replace in the formula:

$3600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.066}{12})^{-55} }{\frac{0.066}{12} } )$

$3600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.055)^{-55} }{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(\frac{1-(0.7395812268)}{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(\frac{0.2604187732}{0.0055} )$

$3600=P(47.348867)$

Therefore:

$P=\frac{3600}{47.348867}$

$P=76.03$

The monthly payment on loan 1 is $76.03.

b. Calculate the monthly payment on loan 2.

We get the data for this exercise:

PV= 11,600 (loan 2).

p= unknown (we must find this value)

i= 7.3% or 0.073. However, because we need to know the monthly payment, the interest rate should be divided by 12 (0.073 / 12).

n= 2 years and 7 months, that is 31 months.

And we replace in the formula:

$11600=P(\frac{1-(1+\frac{0.073}{12})^{-31} }{\frac{0.073}{12} } )$

$11600=P(\frac{1-(1+0.006083)^{-31} }{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(\frac{1-(0.8286047296)}{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(\frac{0.1713952704}{0.006083} )$

$11600=P(28.1761088936)$

Therefore:

$P=\frac{11600}{28.1761088936}$

$P=411.69$

The monthly payment on loan 2 is $411.69.

Answer:

Increase in Net Operating Income = $3,000

Explanation:

Provided Current Operating income

D = $45,000

E = $15,000

F = ($5,000)

Total operating Income = $55,000

In case product f is dropped then fixed cost of $21,000 will not be incurred.

Total fixed cost of Product F = $23,000

Avoidable fixed cost = $21,000

Fixed cost still to be incurred = $23,000 - $21,000 = $2,000

Net operating Income will arise same for Product D and E, there will be additional fixed cost of $2,000 without product F

Net Operating Income will be

D = $45,000

Add: E = $15,000

Operating Income = $60,000

Less: Fixed Cost = -$2,000

Net Operating Income = $58,000 after dropping product F

Less: Net operating income with product F = $55,000

Increase in Net Operating Income = $3,000
