Answer:
I would buy the APPLE stock
Explanation:
Microsoft stock price = $173
dividends earned = $4, $5 and $5.5
value after 3 years = $190
Apple stock price = $285
Dividends earned = $5.5, $8.5 and $10.5
value after 3 years = $330
Applying the dividend discount model
IVO = present value of dividend + present value of terminal price
for Microsoft
IVO = ( 4/1.1 + (5/(1.1/2)) + ( 5.5/(1.1/3)) + ( 190/(1.1/3))
= $154.65
for Apple
IVO = ( 5.5/1.1 + ( 8.5/( 1.1/2)) + (10.5/(1.1/3)) + ( 330/(1.1/3))
= $267.8
Note: the IVO's are less than the current price of the stocks ( IVO = the intrinsic value of the shares ) but Microsoft shares are overpriced compared to apple
Answer:
0.62 or 62 %
Explanation:
Weight of common equity = Market Value of Equity ÷ Total Market Value of Sources of Finance
where,
Market Value of Equity = $111 million
Total Market Value of Sources of Finance = $62 million + $7 million + $111 million = $180 million
therefore,
Weight of common equity = $111 million ÷ $180 million
= 0.62 or 62 %
Conclusion
the weight of common equity that should be 0.62 or 62 %
