Answer:

  • Yes it is.
  • Ethical issue ⇒ Insider Trading.

Explanation:

Trading on the stock exchange is supposed to be as fair as possible so that every investor has a fair chance of making returns. If a person - like this supervisor - is using information that is material but not publicly disclosed yet to trade on markets, the fairness of the market is compromised because the person will have an edge over other investors which will enable them make unfair profits.

Information on quarterly returns is usually material so we can expect it to be material here as well which means that the supervisor is engaged in insider trading.

Insider trading is not only unethical but also highly illegal. Reporting your supervisor can get them sent to jail.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

$69.47

Explanation:

D1 = ($1.45*1.20) = $1.7

D2 = ($1.7*1.20) = $2.04

D3 = ($2.04*1.20) = $2.45

Value after year 3 = (D3*Growth Rate) / (Required rate-Growth Rate)

Value after year 3 = ($2.45*1.08) / 0.11-0.08

Value after year 3 = $2.646 / 0.03

Value after year 3 = $88.20

Current share price = Future dividend and value*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time)

Current share price = $1.7/1.11 + $2.04/(1.11)^2 + $2.45/(1.11)^3 + $88.20/(1.11)^3

Current share price = $1.5315315 + $1.65571 + $1.7914189 + $64.49107

Current share price = $69.4697304

Current share price = $69.47

You buy a seven-year bond that has a 6.50% current yield and a 6.50% coupon (paid annually). In one year, promised yields to mat
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The current yield and annual coupon rate of 6.50% show that the bond price was at par a year ago.

The givens are FV=1,000, n= 6, PMT = 65.00, and i= 7.50 so with this we know that the selling price this year is $953.06.

So the holding period return is $1,000+$953.06+$65.00

$1,000=0.0181=1.81%

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)
