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

Johnny is a sophomore in college and has a 1.5 cumulative grade point average (GPA). Johnny's cumulative GPA will fall even furt
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: B

Explanation:

With the options given, Johnny can only perform worse if he performs worse than his cumulative GPA and also if he performed less than he ever performed before. The last option about Johnny's performing worse than last semester might not necessarily have an effect on his GPA. A cumulative GPA is the total GPA Johnny has gotten since he started school. The last semester might be one of his best semesters and probably had a good result so getting a result slightly lower than his last semester might not necessarily mean there will be a reduction in his cumulative GPA. So option B is correct.

KIM [24]

Answer:

The most accurate answer is *They fear that if they give a positive reference for someone who doesn't work out in a new job, they may be sued by that person's new employer.

Explanation:

Giving a reference of an employees character, professional and ethical behavior, productivity and integrity is a great responsibility and not just a mere simple act.

this is mainly because the references are a main way to assess the suitability of hiring an employee and if we give an incorrect reference, the other firm might rely on it and hire an ineffective employee.
