Answer:
The effective annual rate is 5.57%
Explanation:
The interest rate that is actually earned or paid on investment or loan including the compounding effect over a given period of time. It is also known as rate.
Effective interest rate = [ ( 1 + r/m )^m ] - 1
Effective interest rate = [ ( 1 + 5.42%/12 )^12 ] - 1
Effective interest rate = [ ( 1 + 0.0542/12 )^12 ] - 1
Effective interest rate = 0.055567 x 100
Effective interest rate = 5.5667% = 5.57%
Answer:
Economic models often vary greatly in assumptions and simplifications.
Explanation:
Most models in Classical Economics are based on a lot of generalizations and simplifications, that intend to model the behavior of the situations of the real world but often fail to encompass all the intricacies and complications that even most straightforward situations present. These simplifications help the Economists figure out the mathematical laws that are governing the real world economic systems. Therefore making the economic modeling a simpler process.
Classic economics implies three basic assumptions:
1- People behave rationally in any situation.
2- Firms and individual want to maximize profit and utility
3- People act independently based on available information.
Answer:
a. If dividends are annual and expected to be constant, what is the intrinsic value (fair price) of ABC stock?
P₀ = $0.26 / 12% = $2.16667 = $2.17
b. What is ABC's dividend yield?
$0.26 / $2.17 = 12%
c. From now on, assume that the dividend of 0.26 was a quarterly dividend. What is the quarterly discount rate?
12% / 4 = 3%
d. What is the intrinsic value if dividends are constant and quarterly?
P₀ = $0.26 / 3% = $8.66667 = $8.67
e. We now think that dividends will grow by 0.3% from quarter to quarter. The firm just paid the quarterly dividend of 0.26. What is the intrinsic value of ABC stock?
P₀ = ($0.26 x 1.003) / (3% - 0.3%) = $9.6585 = $9.66
f. A different analyst thinks that ABC's dividends will grow by 5% for the next 4 quarters, and then grow by 0.3% thereafter. What is the intrinsic value?
Div₀ = $0.26
Div₁ = $0.273
Div₂ = $0.287
Div₃ = $0.301
Div₄ = $0.316
Div₅ = $0.317
terminal value in 4 quarters = $0.317 / (3% - 0.3%) = $11.74
P₀ = $0.273/1.03 + $0.287/1.03² + $0.301/1.03³ + $0.316/1.03⁴ + $11.74/1.03⁴ = $0.265 + $0.271 + $0.275 + $0.281 + $10.43 = $11.522
A depository institution is a financial institution in the United States.
Answer:
$27,000
Explanation:
The following costs were incurred by Smith's company during the month of March
Direct labor $53,000
Indirect labor 18,000
Salary of corporate vice president for advertising 25,000
Direct materials 48,000
Indirect materials 4,000
Interest expense 7,500
Salary of factory supervisor 3,000 Insurance on manufacturing equipment 2,000
Therefore the actual manufacturing overhead for March can be calculated as follows
= Indirect labour + indirect materials + salary of factory supervisor + insurance on manufacturing equipments
= $18,000 + $4,000 + $3,000 + $2,000
= $27,000
Hence the actual manufacturing overhead for March is $27,000
