Answer:

g = 0.0738255 or 7.38255% rounded off to 7.38%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,

  • D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year
  • g is the growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return or cost of equity

Plugging in the values of P0, D0 and r in the formula, we can calculate the value of g to be,

32 = 2.27 * (1+g) / (0.15 - g)

32 * (0.15 - g) = 2.27 + 2.27g

4.8 - 32g = 2.27 + 2.27g

4.8 - 2.27 = 2.27g + 32g

2.53 = 34.27g

g = 2.53 / 34.27

g = 0.0738255 or 7.38255% rounded off to 7.38%

Answer:

13 years

Explanation:

Note that, if we add the annual interest rate of 7.9% to $8000 [(0.079*8000)+8000] we get a total value of $8632. We perform random division of the 8632 with 11 12, 13 years we note that at 13 years the total annual payment is lowest.

The required return on the stock of Moe's Pizza is 10.8 percent and aftertax required return on the company's debt is 3.40 perce
saw5 [17]

Answer:

6.88%

Explanation:

Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt * Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity * Weight of Equity]

WACC = [3.40%*0.39] + [10.80%*0.69)

WACC = [0.034*0.39] + [0.108*0.69)

WACC = 0.01326 + 0.07452

WACC = 0.08778

WACC = 8.78%

The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor

The required return for the new project = 8.78% - 1.90%

The required return for the new project = 6.88%
