Answer
a) Gordon's Constant Growth model : P0 = D1 / (r-g)
r = 3% =0.03
, g= -7% = -0.07
, D0 = $5.1
D1 = D0*(1+g)
D1 = 5.1*(1-0.07)
D1 = $4.743
P0 = 4.743/(0.03- (-0.07))
P0 = 4.743/0.10
P0 = $47.43
So, Stock M should sell at a price of $47.43 today
b) Price 8 years from now
==> P8 = D9/(r-g)
P8 = D0*(1+g)^9/(r-g)
P8 = 5.1* (1-0.07)^9 / (0.03- (-0.07))
P8 = 5.1*0.52041108298 / (0.03- (-0.07))
P8 = 2.65410
P8 = $26.54
c) Investor may want to buy the stock today for the Dividends. If the dividends paid are high enough, the present value of the dividends is also high and may more than compensate the fall in stock price. This type of stocks work and give cash flows like a project where the initial cashflows are higher and later cashflows are less because of market factors.
Answer:
Increase by $37,100.
It will accept any time the price is above $43 with the condition it will not incur in additional fixed cost.
$63. is the sales price that generates 106,000 dollar of operating income
Explanation:
As the units will not inccur in any additional fixed cost we should check for the contribution margin this units will provide:
50 dollars - 43 dollar of variable cost = 7 dollars
5,300 saws x $7 = 37,100
The sales reveues will increase by that amount.
(5,300 x $43 dollars each in cost + 106,000 contribution )/5,300 = sales price
sales price = 63
