Answer:
Current market price (Po) = $50
Growth rate (g) = 7%
Dividend paid (Do) = $1
Required return (Ke) = ?
Po = Do<u>(1 + g)</u>
Ke - g
$50 = $1<u>( 1 + 0.07)</u>
ke - 0.07
$50 = <u> 1.07</u>
Ke - 0.07
$50(Ke - 0.07) = $1.07
50Ke - 3.5 = $1.07
50Ke = $1.07 + $3.5
50Ke = $4.57
Ke = 4.57/50
Ke = 0.0914 = 9.14%
Explanation:
The current market price of a stock equals current dividend paid, subject to growth rate, divided by the difference between required rate of return and growth rate. The current market price, growth rate and current dividend paid were provided in the question with the exception of the required return (Ke). Thus, the required return becomes the subject of the formula.
Answer:
interest = the amount earned on bonds or savings accounts
capital gains = the profit earned from selling a financial asset
dividend = the amount of money paid to share holders of a company
Explanation:
A capital gain is a financial term that is most often captured on tax returns when money is made above the face value or declared value of an asset or property that is sold.
When an individual 'purchases' a bond or places money into a savings account, that money is held in an "interest" baring account or grows over time. Savings account: A percentage is paid for holding those funds in a savings account based on the amount held. The financial institution where the funds are held, pays the owner a fee for use of said money that it is held. Those funds are called "interest" and are collected by the owner of those funds. A bond is typically purchased at a reduced face value amount. If the bond is held for a stated amount of time, the bond value reaches maturity after that time. Those gains are called interest and are typically captured on a 1099i form for tax purposes.
A dividend is a profit paid to a stockholder or investor of a company/business entity. Typically those funds are paid when a threshold of profits are reached by that company/business entity. Typically a dividend is captured on a 1099d form for tax purposes.
Answer:
a. demand for existing shares of the stock and the price will both fall.
Explanation:
