Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Managers should nurture the relationship to ensure the reliability of the contract.

Explanation:

The phrase:

"<em>The contract is in the relationship, not on the paper</em>";

while doing business implies that the obligation between the parties does not rely only on what is stated on the contract but in keeping a good relationship. This implies being flexible with what the contract might establish without affecting the other party's interest to keep doing business between them.

In such a way, firms rely on legal and fiduciary relationships.

A company currently pays a dividend of $2.8 per share (D0 = $2.8). It is estimated that the company's dividend will grow at a ra

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Intrinsic value: 53.41 dollars

Explanation:

First, we use the CAPM model to know the value of the stock

$Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)$

risk free 0.085

premium market =(market rate - risk free) = 0.045

beta(non diversifiable risk) 1.3

$Ke= 0.085 + 1.3 (0.045)$

Ke 0.14350

Now we need to know the present value of the future dividends:

D0 = 2.8

D1 = D0 x (1+g) = 2.8 * 1.23 = 3.444

D2 3.444 x 1.23 = 4.2361200

The next dividends, which are at perpetuity will we solve using the dividned grow model:

$\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value$

In this case dividends will be:

4.23612 x 1.07 = 4.5326484

return will be how return given by CAPM and g = 7%

plug this into the Dividend grow model.

$\frac{4.5326484}{0.1435 - 0.07} = Intrinsic \: Value$

value of the dividends at perpetity: 61.6686857

FInally is important to note this values are calculate in their current year. We must bring them to present day using the present value of a lump sum:

$\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

$\frac{3.444}{(1 + 0.1435)^{1} } = PV$

3.011805859

$\frac{4.23612}{(1 + 0.1435)^{2} } = PV$

3.239633762

$\frac{61.6686857}{(1 + 0.1435)^{2}} = PV$

47.16201531

We add them and get the value of the stock:

53.413455

Answer:

The present value of your windfall if the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent is $5,562

Explanation:

Amount of Prize = $3,000,000

number of year = 66 years

Discount Rate = 10%

use following formula to calculate the Present value of Lottery prize

Present Value = Future value / ( 1 + discount rate )^number of years

PV = FV / ( 1 + r )^n

PV = $3,000,000 / ( 1 + 0.10 )^66

PV = $3,000,000 x ( 1 + 0.10 )^-66

PV = $3,000,000 x ( 1.10 )^-66

PV = $5,561.65

PV = $5,562

svp [43]

Answer:

6.383%

Explanation:

Calculation for the What is the yield to maturity

Using this formula

YTM=n√Face value/Bond price -1

Where,

n=one-year

Face value=10,000

Bond price=9,400

Let plug in the formula

YTM=1√10,000/9,400−1

YTM=1.06383-1

YTM=0.06383*100

YTM=6.383%

Therefore the yield to maturity will be 6.383%
