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

However, investors expect Computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $0.50 coming 3 years from today. The dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 49% per year - during Years 4 and 5; but after Year 5, growth should be a constant 9% per year. If the required return on Computech is 16%, what is the value of the stock today? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

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

Assume that a firm spends $500 on two inputs, labor and capital. If the wage rate is $20 per hour and the cost of capital is $25
Zolol [24]

Answer:

D. -4/5

Explanation:

Given that

Wage rate = $20 per hour

Cost of capital = $25 per hour

Recall that,

Slope of isocost = -(w/r)

Where,

W = wage rate

r = rental cost of capital.

Thus,

Slope of isocost curve

= -(20/25)

= -0.8 or -4/5

Note that, the negative of the ratio is the price of the two inputs. Also isocost is a line showing the various combinations of inputs which cost the same amount.
