Answer:

b. 48

Explanation:

The computation of the expected value of the future stock price is as follows;

= Respective future price × respective probabilities

= $40 × 0.5 + $50 × 0.3 + $65 × 0.2

= $20 + $15 + $13

= $48

hence, the  expected value of the future stock price is $48

kirill [66]

Answer:

A.) $81,100,000

B.) $64,000,000

C.) $17,100,000

Explanation:

EBIT = $90 million

Tax rate = 21%

Depreciation = $10 million

gross fixed assets increased by $56 million

current assets increased by $44 million

current liabilities increased by $36 million

A.) Operating Cash flow for 2021

EBIT + Depreciation - (EBIT × Tax rate)

$90, 000,000 + 10,000,000 - (90,000,000×0.21)

100,000,000 - (18,900,000) = $81,100,000

B.) Investment in Operating capital for 2021:

Increase in gross fixed asset + (increase in current asset - increase in liability)

$56,000,000 + ( $44,000,000-$36,000,000)

= $56,000,000 + $8,000,000

= $64,000,000

C.) Free cash flow

Operating Cash flow - investment in operating

$81,100,100 - $64,000,000 = $17,100,000

Transportation stocks currently provide an expected rate of return of 15%. TTT, a large transportation company, will pay a year-
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The answer is: 10% constant growth rate

Explanation:

Since transportation stocks provide a 15% rate of return, TTT stock should also provide the same rate of return. We can expect to earn $9 (= $60 x 5%) every year from our investment in TTT stocks. We are receiving $3 as dividends, so the constant growth rate should equal the difference between the expected return minus the dividend payments:

  • $9 - $3 = $6; $6 represents 10% of the current stock price

We can also calculate this with the following formula:

expected return rate = (dividends / price) + growth rate

15% = (3 / 60) + g

15% = 5% + g

10% = g

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

2.09

Explanation:

Asset ratio is  a business tool used to measure the efficiency of assets towards sales generation by comparing net sales to average total assets.

It is calculated by dividing the net sales by average total assets.

The average total assets is used in order to make allowance for fluctuation in the course of business year

Net sales = $217550

Opening total asset = $94200

Closing Total assets = $ 113500

Asset ratio turnover = 217550/(94200+113500)/2

=2.09
