Answer:

<em>The lesser quality machine should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost of $15,075.60</em>

Explanation:

The equivalent annual cost is the present value of the printer machine divided by the present value  annuity factor.

Annuity factor for n years = 1- (1+r)^(-n)/r

Annuity factor for four years = (1- 1.14^-4)/0.14 =2.9137

Annuity factor for three years =(1- 1.14^-3)/0.14= 2.3216

Printer                                                        Equivalent annual cost of printer

High quality        45,000/2.9137                  15,444.22

Lesser quality    35,000/2.3216                   15,075.60

<em>The lesser quality machine should be purchased because it has a lower equivalent annual cost of $15,075.60</em>

Storico Co. just paid a dividend of $3.15 per share. The company will increase its dividend by 20 percent next year and then red
Elanso [62]

Answer:

$61.29

Explanation:

Calculation for what Storico Co. Share of stock will sell today.

Since we have a stock that has a normal growth in which the dividend growth changes every year for the first four years. We can therefore find the price of the stock in Year 3 because the dividend growth rate is constant after the third dividend, which means the price of the stock in Year 3 will be the dividend we are going to use in Year 4, we shall then divide it by the required return less the constant dividend growth rate.

Therefore the price in Year 3 will be calculated as :

P3= $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)(1.05) / (.12 – .05)

P3= $5.020785/0.07

P3=$71.72

Let find the price of stock today using the PV of the first three dividends in addition with the PV of the stock price in Year 3:

Hence,

P0= $3.15(1.20)/(1.12) + $3.15(1.20)(1.15)/1.12^²+ $3.15(1.20)(1.15)(1.10)/1.12^³+ $71.72/1.12^³

P0=$3.78/1.12+$4.347/1.2544+$4.7817/1.404928+$71.72/1.404928

P0=$3.375+3.465+3.4035+$51.048

P0= $61.29

Therefore if the required return on the company’s stock is 12% what the share of stock will sell for today will be $61.29

juin [17]

Answer: A) limited decision making

Explanation:

When a customer is experiencing limited decision making, they are looking to make a choice that requires that they spend a decent amount of time doing some sort of research in order to make a decision.

The research time will not be quite extensive that it would require in-depth research, but it should be more than basic time spent on normal purchase decisions.
