Answer:
a. Relevant
Explanation:
The documentary on prime time television that brought awareness to Cook Inc... being defendant in several lawsuits relating to it's defective tyres that has caused vehicles to overturn is a financial information that is relevant.
As a financial analyst, being presented with such information is very relevant and it makes me to consider it as a factor before issuing loan to the organization and also help to garner what the public'e perception of the company stock will be. In addition, the information will help to make predictions about future directions of the company's stock price and, evaluate the company's financial health and earnings potential to be able to pay back the loan if given the loan.
Answer:
1. C. $33.76 per share
2. B- The constant growth model can be used if a stock's expected constant growth rateis less than its required return
3. 8.25% ; $35.62 ; 5.5%
Explanation:
1. Using the Constant Growth Model to calculate the intrinsic value would be best given the above values.
The formula is;
Value = Next Dividend / (Required Return - Growth rate)
Value = (2.64 * ( 1 + 5.5%)) / ( 13.75% - 5.5%)
Value = 2.7852/8.25%
Value = $33.76
2. Going by the formula, if the expected growth rate is more than the required return, the intrinsic value would be a negative number and a stock's price cannot go below 0. The growth rate has to be less than the required return for this to work.
3. At Equilibrium, the stock dividend is growing as it should.
Dividend Yield should therefore be;
= Next Dividend / Stock Value * 100
= (2.7852 / 33.76) * 100
= 8.25%
Stock Price should grow at the growth rate so;
= 33.76 * ( 1 + 0.055)
= $35.62
Gains yield refers to what rate the stock will change in value. Growth rate is 5.5% so that will be the answer.
Answer:
b. 8.225%
Explanation:
In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,
Present value = $754.08
Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 7.25% ÷ 2 = $36.25
NPER = 9 years × 2 = 18 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 11.75%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 11.75% × ( 1 - 0.30)
= 8.225%
I don't think so cause they are both different companies. <span />
Answer:
The correct answer is Product Development Stage.
Explanation:
If any of the changes are required to be incorporated in a design, the best point of attempting these changes is in the product design phase such that the considerations are included from the initial stage and the design effort is not wasted.
