Answer:

The value of its common stock is $29.41

Explanation:

As the Dividend payment is for indefinite period of time, This is the perpetuity payment. The value of share can be determined  by calculating the present value of perpetuity payment.

The formula for the present value of perpetuity is as follow

Present value of perpetuity = Cash flow / Required Rate of return

In this case the present value of perpetuity is the value of stock cash flows is The dividend payment.

Value of Stock = Dividend / Required Rate of return

Answer: Value of the common stock = $29.41

Explanation:

GIVEN the following ;

Dividend =$2.50

Rate of return (r) = 8.5% 0.085

The question above requires us to calculate the value of common stock which is equivalent to the present value of perpetuity which is the amount of a fixed income or cash flow an individual earns at regular interval for an INDEFINITE period.

RECALL;

PRESENT VALUE of PERPETUITY IS GIVEN BY:

PV of perpetuity = (Dividend or coupon per period ÷ interest rate(r))

PV of perpetuity = ($2.50 ÷ 0.085)

PV of perpetuity = $29.411

PV of perpetuity = $29.41

If inflation is increasing at 2.4 percent per year, and your salary increases at the same rate, how long will it take your salar
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

it take 29.23 years, my salary to double.

Explanation:

To make the salary double I have to increase the value of salary by 100%. If inflation rate is 2.4 percent per year and salary increase the same rate the time period to make it double can be calculated as follow.

As every year 2.4% has compounding effect, so we will use compounding formula to solve this problem.

Target value = Existing value ( 1 + growth rate )^time period

200% = 100% ( 1 + 2.4% )^n

2 = 1 ( 1 + 0.024 )^n

2 = 1 ( 1.024 )^n

2 = 1.024^n

Taking log on both sides to solve the n

Log 2 = n Log 1.024

n = Log 2 / Log 1.024

n = 29.23 years

I will take 29.23 year to double the salary
