Google acquisition of Groupon will potential enhance Google strategic value and the traffic of people logging to its site expecting tremendous increase over time. So this appears to be reason for Google to go in for buying Groupon.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The current stock price is $21.54

Explanation:

The current price of the share of Knightmare Inc is the present value of all future cash flows receivable from owning stake in the company.

The future cash flows in this sense are the dividends payable by the company in years 1,2 and 3 which are $6.15,$9.05 and $12.25 per share respectively.

The discount factor in this case is given as 1/(1+r)^N where  r is the required rate of return of 11.7% and the relevant year of dividend receipt,hence the share price is computed thus:

Year   cash flow discount factor               PV

1            $6.15      1/(1+11.7%)^1=0.89525   $5.5

2             $9.05  1/(1+11.7%)^2=0.80148      $7,25

3            $12.25  1/(1+11.7%)^3=0.71753        $8.79

Total present value                                      $21.54

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Cost of equity= 8.0%

Explanation:

<em>Cost of equity can be ascertained using the dividend valuation  model. The model states that the price of a stock is the present value of future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.</em>

Cost of equity (Ke) =( Do( 1+g)/P )  + g

g - 2.2%, P - 36.72, D - 2.18

Ke = (2.18 ×(1+0.022)) /38.72  +  0.022 )  ×  100

= 0.07954 × 100

= 8.0%

 Cost of equity = 8.0%
