Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

a)

1$ = Can $1.12

It takes a value of 1 U.S dollar to have 1.12 Canadian dollars.  This signifies that the U.S dollar is worth more than Canadian dollars.

b)

Assuming that the absolute Purchasing Power Parity PPP holds,

Since 1$ = Can $1.12, the cost  in the United States of an Elkhead beer, if the price in Canada is Can$2.85 can be determined to be:

= \dfrac{2.85}{1.12}

= $2.545

c)

Yes, the U.S. dollar is selling at a premium relative to the Canadian dollar.

This is because we are being told that the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can $1.12 & in six (6) months time the forward rate will be Can $1.14.

d)

The U.S dollar is expected to appreciate in value because it is trading at a premium in the forward market.

e)

Canada has higher interest rates. This determined by using the formula:

= \dfrac{(\dfrac{Fwd}{Spot }-1)}{n}

where; n= numbers of years = 6 month/12 month = 0.5 year

Then;

=\dfrac{(\dfrac{1.14}{1.12 }-1)}{0.5}

= \dfrac{(1.0178-1)}{0.5}

= \dfrac{(0.0178)}{0.5}

= 0.0356

= 3.56%

The common stock of Zeta Group sells for $42 per share, has a rate of return of 12.2 percent, and a dividend growth rate of 1.8
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The amount of the last annual dividend paid is <u>$4.3</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

The common stock of Zeta Group sells for $42 per share, has a rate of return of 12.2 percent, and a dividend growth rate of 1.8 percent annually.

Now, to find the amount of last annual dividend paid.

Let the amount of last annual dividend paid be l.

Price of per share (p) = \$42.

Rate of return (r) = 12.2\%.

Rate of dividend growth (g) = 1.8\%.

Now, to get the amount of last dividend paid we put formula:

p=\frac{l(1+g)}{r-g}

42=\frac{l(1+1.8\%)}{12.2\%-1.8\%}

42=\frac{l(1+0.018)}{0.122-0.018}

42=\frac{l\times 1.018}{0.104}

<em>Multiplying both sides by 0.104 we get:</em>

<em />4.368=1.018l<em />

<em>Dividing both sides by 1.018 we get:</em>

4.3=l

l=\$4.3.

Therefore, the amount of the last annual dividend paid is $4.3.

This is the repetition of money paid that is made at the beginning of each defined period. Period could be monthly, quarterly, yearly and so on. A common example used in explaining this is Rent paid at the beginning of each month.

     interest payable          31,500  credit

procceds                      740,783

face value                <u>     700,000    </u>

premium on bonds payable 40,783

When comparing, the firm received more than the face value hence, there is a premium on the bonds as the coupon payment are above the market rate.

Now, the interest will be calculate as follow:

carrying value x market rate:

740,783 x 0.08/2 = 29,631.32 interest expense

cash outlay:

700,000 x 0.09/2 = 31,500

amortization on premium (difference) 1,868.68

new carrying value: 740,783 - 1,868,68 = 738,914

second payment accrual:

738,914 x 0.04 = 29,556.57

cash outlay                  31500

amortization    1,943.43
