The GDP includes all the domestic production of final and legal goods and services.

The risk-free rate of return is 5.5%, the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 17%, and the stock of Xyrong Corpor

Katen [24]

Answer:

1. $12.31

2. -11.96%

Explanation:

a) Calculation to determine the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock

First step is to calculate the Required Return

Using this formula

Required Return = Risk-free Rate + [Beta * (Expected Market Return - Risk-free Rate)]

Let plug in the formula

Required Return= 5.5% + [2.7 * (17% - 5.5%)]

Required Return= 5.5% + 31.05% = 36.55%

Second step is to calculate g using this formula

g = ROE * (1 - Payout Ratio)

Let plug in the formula

g= 18% * (1 - 0.25)

g= 13.5%

D0 = EPS0 * Payout Ratio = $10 * 0.25 = $2.50

P0 = [D0 * (1 + g)] / [r - g]

= [$2.50 * (1 + 0.135)] / [0.3655 - 0.135]

= $2.8375 / 0.2305 = $12.31

b). Holding Period Return = [P1 + D1 - P0] / P0

= [$8 + $2.8375 - $12.31] / $12.31 = -$1.4727 / $12.31 = -0.1196, or -11.96%

Connor Corp. has large amount of data that they are trying to analyze from the last 15 years. They have an arithmetic sales grow

MrRa [10]

Answer:

11.14%

Explanation:

Blume's formula is used to combine both arithmetic and geometric returns. This is because using arithmetic growth rate exclusively would be overly optimistic for longer time horizons and on the other hand, using geometric growth rates exclusively would be overly pessimistic for short time horizons.

Using the attached formula, plug in the given numbers;

R(T) would be the sale growth rate we need to calculate.

R(T) = $\frac{5-1}{15-1} *0.09 + \frac{15-5}{15-1} *0.12$

R(T) =0.0257 + 0.0857

R(T) = 0.1114 as a decimal

Therefore, the forecast sales growth would be 11.14%
