A deferred call provision refers to the provision whereby the calling of a bond before a particular date is prohibited. The bond is known to be call protected during this period.
Therefore, a deferred call provision prohibits the bond issuer from redeeming callable bonds prior to a specified date.
Answer: 0%
Explanation:
Elasticity measures the change in demand resulting from a change in price. The law of demand holds that when prices increase, quantity demand would decrease and elasticity is meant to show the magnitude of this change.
A unit elastic good means that prices and quantity demanded change by the same amount. This means that for a unit elastic good, if the price change is a 5% increase, the quantity demanded will decrease by 5%.
In terms of revenue, if the price increases by the same amount that quantity demanded decreases, the effects will cancel out so there will be no revenue effect.
Answer:
-9.92%
Explanation:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
- Div₁ = next year's expected dividend = $1.12 x (1 - 11.5%) = $0.9912
- Re = cost of equity = ?
- P₀ = current stock price = $62.91
- g = dividend's growth rate = -11.5%
Re = (Div₁ / P₀) + g
Re = ($0.9912 / $62.91) - 11.5%
Re = 1.58% - 11.5% = -9.92%
Since the cost of equity or required rate of return cannot be negative, I suppose that investors are not worried about Abbott distributing dividends, instead, they prefer that the company reinvests earnings in new projects.
