Answer:

$0.36

Explanation:

Expected value of the lottery ticket = (p1 x a1) + (p2 x a2) + (p3 x a3) + (p4 x a4)

p1 = probability of winning $1 = 1/5 = 0.2

a1 = $1

p2 =  probability of winning $5 = 1/100 = 0.01

a2 = $5

p3 =  probability of winning $1000 = 1/100,000 = 0.00001

a3 = $1000

p4 =  probability of winning $1 million = 1/10,000,000 = 0.0000001

a4 = $1 million

(0.2 x 1) + (0.01 x 5) + (0.00001 x 1000) + (1,000,000 x 0.00001) = $0.36

Computech Corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends.
Arturiano [62]

Answer: $8.81

Explanation:

To solve this, add the present values of the dividends from years 3, 4 and 5 and then add the present value of the terminal value of the stock at year 5.

Year 3 dividend = $0.50

Year 4 dividend = 0.50 * (1 + 49%) = $0.745

Year 5 dividend = 0.745 * 1.49 = $1.11005

= Dividend in year 3 / (1 + required rate of return)³ + Dividend in year 4 / (1 + required rate of return)⁴ + Dividend in year 5 / (1 + required rate of return)⁵ +   (Dividend in year 5 * (1 + growth rate) / ( required rate of return - growth rate ) ) / (1 + required rate of return)⁵

= 0.5 / 1.16³ + 0.745/1.16⁴ + 1.11005/1.16⁵ + ( 1.11005 / (16% - 9%)) / 1.16⁵

= $8.81

Tamarisk, Inc. has 12000 shares of 5%, $100 par value, non-cumulative preferred stock and 48000 shares of $1 par value common st
hjlf

Answer:

$84,000

Explanation:

preference share dividend is at 5% on $100 par value. The  number of preference shares is 12,000 shares ( non cumulative)

The year 2017 preference share dividend pay out is 5% of 100 multiplied by 12,000 = $60,000

Deduct $ 60,000 from $144,000 dividend declared in 2017 , the balance is common stockholders dividend.

144,000 minus 60,000 = $84,000

Non cumulative preference shares dividend are paid first for the year the company declares dividend. The dividend is not cumulative ( prior years dividend for which company did not declare dividend are forfeited).

The common stockholders are paid dividend after preference shares dividend are paid. The common stockholders bears the full risk of the business as seen above. In event of liquidation, they are the last to be settled from realised asset of the bankrupt company.
