Answer:

B

Colgate-Palmolive Company has just paid an annual dividend of $ 1.50$1.50. Analysts are predicting dividends to grow by $ 0.12$0
klio [65]

Answer:

The price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today is $66.47

Explanation:

In order to calculate the price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today we would have to calculate first the Present value of dividend of next 5 years as follows:

Present value of dividend of next 5 years as follows=

Year Dividend Discount factor Present value      

a             b          c=1.085^-a             d=b*c      

1 $       1.62 0.921659 $       1.49      

2 $       1.74 0.849455 $       1.48      

3 $       1.86 0.782908 $       1.46      

4 $       1.98 0.721574  $       1.43      

5 $       2.10 0.665045 $       1.40      

Total                                   $       7.25

Then, we have to calculate the Present value of dividend after 5 years as follows:

Present value of dividend after 5 years=D5*(1+g)/(Ke-g)*DF5

Present value of dividend after 5 years=$2.10(1+6%)/(8.50%-6%)* 0.665045

Present value of dividend after 5 years=$59.22

Current value of stock=Present value of dividend of next 5 years+ Present value of dividend after 5 years    

Current value of stock= $7.25+$59.22      

Current value of stock=$66.47        

The price does the​ dividend-discount model predict Colgate stock should sell for​ today is $66.47

swat32

Answer:

The correct answer is (d)

Explanation:

Better quality can help to reduce many costs such as customer’s dissatisfaction cost, inspection cost and warrant and service cost. When customers don't like the quality of the product they are likely to buy the same product from somewhere else that is the dissatisfaction cost. Still, maintenance cost is likely to incur no matter how good the quality is. Maintenance cost helps to keep the product clean and fresh for long-term use.

An accountant increases the price he charges for his services by 2 percent. In​ response, the demand for his services decreases
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

The reason is that the price and demand are inversely proportional so if the price has been increased then the demand of the product will be decreased. Take the example of Bugatti Chiron, the price of the car is $19 million and total number of people that own is in tens this is because the buyers are less in quantity due to higher prices of the product. Same is the case here, if the accountant is going to charge high then his revenue will drop due to lower people are willing to buy its services.
