Answer:

The author is trying to say that the living standards of different classes of people depend on the economic choices they make and the economy of the nations they find themselves in.

Explanation:

The topic, "Mathematics and Economic Reasoning," began by comparing the world's of two girls namely Becky and Desta. Becky who lives in America has a good and comfortable living standard. Her father works at a good law firm where he earns well enough to cater for his family. He has some savings, insurance, two cars, and a partially mortgaged house.

Desta, on the other hand, lives in a poor village in Ethiopia where her family depend on farming to survive. They have no running water, electricity, adequate healthcare, enough food, etc. The author drew these comparisons to show that the environment a person finds himself can affect his economic standard of living.

kolbaska11 [484]

Explanation:

Data provided

Dividend income = $1.1

Ending share per price = $63

Initial price = $57

Total return = (Dividend income + (Ending share per price - Initial price)) ÷ Initial price

= ($1.1 + ($63 - $57)) ÷ 57

= ($1.1 + $6) ÷ 57

= $7.1 ÷ 57

= 0.12456

or 12.46%

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Answer of each requirement is given seperatly below.

a What is the value of Siebel using the DCF method?

Value under DCF = CF * (1+growth rate)/ (WAAC" -Growth rate)

Putting values (assuming after tax earning is all in cash)

"WAAC calculation

Here WAAC is equal to cost of equity (ke) as company is debt free.

so

Ke = risk free rate + beta (risk premium)

    = 5 + 2.5 (6) = 20%

b What is the value using the comparable recent transactions method?

Based on recent tansaction the value of siebel incorporated will be               calculated as shown below

 Value of SI = Profit afte * 10 = 25 * 10 = 250 million dollars

Publicly-traded Rand Technology, a direct competitor of Siebel's sale is taken as bench mark.

c What would be the value of the firm if we combine the results of both methods?

By combining value of both value technique we get 189 + 250 = 439 million dollars.

yawa3891 [41]
