Answer:
open an new office because the expected marginal benefit ($12.5 million over 5 years) is greater than the estimated marginal cost ($7 million)
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Given that
Total marginal benefit = 12.5 million
And, the Total marginal cost = 7 million
Based on the above information
We can see that the new office should be opened as the marginal benefit would be more than the marginal cost
Therefore the first option is correct
And, the rest of the options would be incorrect
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The statement, if true, that would explain the analysts' predictions would be "the Producer Price Index has been steadily increasing over the past few months."
That is what would have been the factor that supports the forecast. Although inflation has been constant at low levels, what changed was the Producer Price Index that is moving up. This factor could modify the results despite inflation is stable at this moment. When inflation is high, it directly affects the price of goods and the consumer.
Answer:
17%
Explanation:
Purchase price of bond = $921.77
Years investment held = n = 7
Coupon rate = C = 15%
Frequency of payment = m = 2
Annual coupon = $1,000 × (0.15/2) = $75.00
Realized Yield = i
Selling price of bond = PB = $961.22
The realized rate of return is approximately 16.6 percent. Using a financial calculator provided an exact yield of 16.625 percent.
Answer:
$16.21
Explanation:
Worth of the stock is the present value of all the cash flows associated with the stock. Dividend is the only cash flow that a stock holder receives against its investment in the stocks. We need to calculate the present values of all the dividend payments.
Dividend Payment $1.10
Growth rate first 3 years 10%
Growth rate first 4 years 3.2%
Required rate of return 12%
Dividend Discount Factor PV Factor
First year Dividend $1.21 0.892857143 $1.08
Second year Dividend $1.33 0.797193878 $1.06
Third year Dividend $1.46 0.711780248 $1.04
Fourth year Dividend $1.61 0.635518078 $1.02
Stock value after fourth year = $18.89 0.635518078 <u>$12.00 </u>
Stock Value <u>$16.21 </u>
