.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%

Sliva [168]

The convexity of the bond is 61.810 and the duration of the bond is 7.330 years.                                                                                                      

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • A newly issued bond has a maturity of 10 years. It pays a 7.7% coupon rate. The coupon payments will receive each year. Using the coupon payments the year will be reduced.
  • The maturity year will get reduced. So the duration of the bond is approximately 7.330 years. If the bond is sold at par value the convexity can be calculated using the number of years.
  • So the convexity of the bond is 61.810.

You put $10000 in an account earning 5%. After 3 years, you make another deposit into the same account. Four years later (7 year
ikadub [295]

Answer:

money deposited after end of 3rd year is $4877.75  

Explanation:

given data

initial amount  = $10000

rate = 5%

time = 3 year

after 7 year account balance = $20000

solution

we consider here money deposited after end of 3rd year is = x

first we get here compounded amount after 3 years as

compounded amount = initial amount × (1+r)^{t}    ................1

compounded amount = 10000 × (1+0.05)^{3}

compounded amount = $11576.25

so at 7 year account balance is

account balance = ( compounded amount + x )  × (1+r)^{t} ....................2

$20000  = ( $11576.25 + x ) × (1+0.5)^{4}  

solve it we get

x =  $4877.75  

so money deposited after end of 3rd year is $4877.75
