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

Value of Stock = $2.5 / 8.5%

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

posledela

Answer:

Find below complete question:

There are three equally large divisions in a conglomerate: (i) food division, (ii) travel division, and (iii) construction division. Their divisional betas are 0.5, 1.8, and 2.2, respectively.

What is the overall beta for the entire firm?

A.0.5

B.1.8

C.1.5

D.2.2

Correct option is C,1.5

Suppose that you are evaluating a project in the food division. What is the appropriate discount rate for this project? Assume that the CAPM holds. The risk-free rate is 1% and the expected return on the market is 7%.

A.10%

B.11.8%

C.4%

D.14.2%

Correct option is A,10%

Explanation:

The starting point is to determine the overall beta for the company.

Since all the three divisions are equally large,it means they share the same probability weighting of 0.3333(1/3)

food division               0.3333 *0.5

Travel division             0.3333*1.8

construction                 0.3333*2.2

overall beta                  1.49985  

1.5 approx

Ke=Rf+beta(Rm-Rf)

Rf is the risk free rate of 1%

Rm is the expected return on market of 7%

beta is 1.5

Ke=1%+1.5*(7%-1%)

Ke=10%

Which of the following relies the most on the health of the economy?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: Trade Industries

Explanation:

Trade industries survive as long as people and businesses can afford to trade goods and services. If entities are unable to afford consumption for a reason such as a decline in income, the trade industries will suffer.

When the economy is not healthy, income levels of people will reduce and so trade industries will suffer as opposed to a healthy economy where entities can afford goods and services which will ensure the survival of trade industries.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1 and a half months worth of depreciation

Explanation:

The advantage of starting to depreciate an asset purchased on December is that next year you will be able to depreciate it for a full year under MACRS.  Generally, when you purchase an asset, you have to use the half year convention and your depreciation expense for the first year will be low compared to the second year. But if you start depreciating your asset in the current year, even if you purchased it on December and the depreciation expense is not that significant, the next year you will be able to depreciate it at the second year rate.
