Answer:

P5 = $27.98563259 rounded off to $27.99

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,

  • Do is the last dividend paid
  • D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period  or D1
  • g is the growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return  

To calculate the price today (P0) we use D1 or dividend expected for the next period.Similarly, to calculate the price 5 years from now or P5, we will use D6. We will calculate D6 first and use it in the above formula in place of the numerator. We are given D1 as 3.4

D6 = 3.4 * (1+0.0175)^5

D6 = $3.708096319

The price of the stock 5 years from now will be,

P5 = 3.708096319 / (0.15 - 0.0175)

P5 = $27.98563259 rounded off to $27.99

Answer:

The correct answer is c. risk averse .

Explanation:

Risk aversion is the attitude of rejection that an investor experiences in the face of financial risk, specifically in the face of the possibility of suffering losses in the value of their assets. The degree of risk aversion determines the profile of the investor (conservative, medium, risky) and should be the starting point for choosing an investment product. For example, a person with high risk aversion (conservative profile) will tend to choose products with lower expected yields, but more stable. On the contrary, a risky investor will be more willing to suffer eventual losses in exchange for the possibility of obtaining superior benefits.

One-year Treasury securities yield 4%. The market anticipates that 1-year from now 1-year Treasury securities will yield 2.1%. I
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

3.05%

Explanation:

According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.

Mathematically,

(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1

Here,

r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today

r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today

r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1

By Putting Values, we have:

(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1

(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184

By taking square-root on both sides, we have:

(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305

r2,0 = 3.05%

Amazon.com is now 25 years old and makes $140 billion in annual revenues. As an investor, would it concern you that Amazon.com h
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Personally, as an investor I would be concerned but I would be willing to wait for 3-5 more years to help the CEO diversify the markets.

Explanation:

A company that makes a consistent loss is never a good buy for an investor. However, Amazon has done a couple of things over the last two decades that can give investors some confidence.

For one, the company has grown in revenue and the number of products they offer every year since it's inception. What began as an online book seller now sells everything, from facial creams to make up to electronics.

Amazon has also maintained a first-mover advantage and almost has a monopoly on the e-commerce business in the United States.

With such a strong position and a $140 billion in revenues, the company is almost too big to fail since their debt is very little. With such firepower, the company can further transform and diversity to become profitable and formidable.

The Sedgwick Company estimates sales of a new product at 5,000 units and $3.00 per unit. Management feels the sales quantity is
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

B) $12,825

Explanation:

In order to calculate the worst case scenario of sales first we need to calculate the worst case for sales of units.

The Company estimates that 5,000 units will be sold with a 10 percent plus-or-minus range. So, let calculate the worst case for the sale of units, in this case being 90% of the 5,000 unit estimate. Calculate 90% of 5,000, and this gives us 4,500 units as the worst case scenario.

To calculate the the worst case scenario for price, lets use the $3.00 per unit estimated by the Company, and apply the same concept, however, taking into account that sales price has a 5 percent plus-or minus range. So we caclulate %95 of $3.00, and this gives us $2.85 as our worst case scenario for price.

Now, we take our worst case scenario for amount of units and price:

4,500 units x $2.85 = $12,825

$12,825 is the total dollar amount for the worst case scenario of this product.
