Answer:

P0 = $66.6429 rounded off to $66.64

Option c is the correct answer

Explanation:

Using the two stage growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula to calculate the price of the stock today is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r)  +  D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n  +  [(D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2) / (r - g2)) / (1+r)^n]

Where,

  • g1 is the initial growth rate
  • g2 is the constant growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return

P0 = 2* (1+0.2) / (1+0.1)  +  2 * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.1)^2  +  2 * (1+0.2)^3 / (1+0.1)^3  

+  2 * (1+0.2)^4 / (1+0.1)^4  +  2 * (1+0.2)^5 / (1+0.1)^5  +

[(2 * (1+0.2)^5 * (1+0.04)  /  (0.1 - 0.04)) / (1+0.1)^5]

P0 = $66.6429 rounded off to $66.64

9 . Implied interest rate and period Consider the case of the following annuities, and the need to compute either their expected
vodomira [7]

Answer:

IRR 6% for Jabob

His friend will need 12 years saving cash to obtain their collegue funds.

Explanation:

We will solve for the rate being the annuity of 3 payment of 800

and the present value 2,138.41

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

C 800

time 3

PV 2,138.41

rate ?

800 \times \frac{1-(1+x)^{-3} }{x} = 2,138.41\\  

To solve we can use excel, a financial calculator or trial and error

For excel we will do the following:

write the list of cash through the loan life:

-2,138.41

+800

+800

+800

then we write in the empy cell

=IRR(

select the values and press enter

This will give the IRR which is 6%

For the second assignment:

we need to solve for time:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

C    3,800

time            n  

rate            0.06

PV $31,897

3800 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-n} }{0.06} = 31,897\\  

 We work out the formula:

(1+0.06)^{-n} = \frac{31,897\times 0.06}{3,800}

Now we solve the right side and apply logarithmic properties

-n = \frac{log0.503636842
}{log1.06}

-n = -11.77128325

n = 11.77

It will take 12 years to obtain their target amount

What warranty is created when a merchant affirms that the goods meet certain standards of quality, description or condition?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

An express warranty

Explanation:

Express warranties can be made in writing, orally or even inferred by the salesperson's conduct. Even if the salesperson made a mistake by offering an express warranty, it is still valid. An express warranty states that a good or service will specifically be a certain way, or perform in a certain way. When a salesperson shows a model of the good, that is considered a express warranty that the good will be the same as the model.

You are an accounting student at a university and also a talented guitar player. During summer vacation, you are hired full time
Travka [436]

Considering the scenario described above, at the store, I am an employee. This is because I'm hired full-time.

Also, because an office manager is supervising me, that shows I am an employee.

Also, given that I work within normal business hours at the store, that is a characteristic of an employee. Again, payment of wages is associated with employee relations.

On the other hand, I work as an independent contractor at the pub because I decide the music to play and get paid per gig.

Also, given that I don't work at normal hours and get paid at a lump sum, this is an independent contractor working feature.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that I worked as an independent contractor at the pub and an employee at the store.
