Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $1.59 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $1.25, $1.33, $1

.40, and $1.51 per share in the last four years. a. If the stock currently sells for $40, what is your best estimate of the company’s cost of equity capital using the arithmetic average growth rate in dividends? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) a. What if you use the geometric average growth rate? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The dividend growth rate is given as D2/D1 - 1

Year            Dividend                        Growth rate

1                    $1.25                            

2                   $1.33                       ($1.33/ $1.25 - 1) 6.4%

3                   $1.4                          ($1.4/$1.33 - 1) 5.26%

4                   $1.51                         ($1.51/$1.4 -1)  7.86%  

       

The arithmetic average growth rate is the average of all the growth rates.

Arithmetic average growth rate = (6.4% + 5.26% + 7.86%) / 3 = 6.51%

The cost of annuity = (cost of common stock / Selling stock price) * 100% + Average growth rate

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.51% = 10.49%

b) The geometric growth rate is given as:

geometric average growth rate =

(\frac{D_n}{D_o} )^{\frac{1}{n} }-1\\D_n=1.51,D_o=1.25,n=3\\\\Geometric\ growth\ rate=\frac{1.51}{1.25}^{1/3}-1=6.5\%

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.5% = 10.48%

Answer:

The best answer is C.

Explanation:

Regulation T initial margin to short stock is 50% of $3,000 = $1,500. However, since this is a new account, it must meet the minimum initial margin of $2,000 needed to open an account. Therefore, $2,000 must be deposited.

Well i guess there arent any options...but it wold most likely result in more people buying them but in a negative light paying people who get them less and the supplies they need to do so overall harder to get, but with more people buying a demand for it would be higher, and you can take what you want out of my answer i could go on for a while

Tom [10]

Answer: Positive.

Explanation:

Suppose there are two related goods, i.e, Good A and Good B.

Cross price elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of demand for Good A if there is a change in the price of its related good, i.e, Good B.

Now, we are talking about gasoline and public transportation, suppose if there is increase in the price of gasoline then it will be costlier for the people to drive their own cars, as a result demand for public transportation increases.

There is a positive relationship between the gasoline and public transportation.

Hence, cross-price elasticity of demand between gasoline and public transportation is Positive.
