Answer:

$259.34

Explanation:

the value of the stock can be determined using the two stage dividend discount model.

In the first stage, the present value would be determined using a discount rate of 18%.

In the second stage, the present value would be determined using a discount rate of 6%.

Values from the first and second stage would be added together to determine the value of the stock

First stage

Present value in year 1 = ($3.2 x 1.18) / 1.087 = $3.47

Present value in year 2 = ($3.2 x 1.18²) / 1.087² = $3.77

Present value in year 3 = ($3.2 x 1.18³) / 1.087³ = $4.09

Present value in year 4 = ($3.2 x 1.18^4) / 1.087^4 = $4.44

Second stage

($3.2 x 1.18^4 x 1.06) / (0.087 - 0.06) = 243.57

Value of the stock = $3.47 + $3.77 + $4.09 + $4.44 +  243.57 = $259.34

Degger [83]

Answer:

less than $1 million.

Explanation:

According to my research, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this next change is likely to save less than $1 million. We can predict this since the first change saved $1 million but was a reduction of 3%, the second change is a reduction of 2% so it will most likely not reach 1$ million in savings

Suppose that you are a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The economy is experiencing a sharp rise
monitta

As a member of the Federal Reserve Board, in an inflationary situation I would suggest a change in the federal funds rate that would be accomplished by raising the base interest rate of the US economy. This would make bonds more attractive and people would stop consuming to invest in public debt securities. In addition, raising interest rates would discourage credit, causing banks to lend less. Since inflation is a monetary phenomenon caused by the excess of currency in circulation, these measures would have a downward effect on inflation, as they reduce the amount of money in circulation in the economy.

GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.

GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Net Export

Net Export = Export - Import

Net Export = $1 - $2 = -$1

GDP = $7 + $1 + $5 - $1 = $12

All calculations are in trillion

Bas_tet [7]

Answer: 14%

Explanation:

To calculate the Annual Rate of Return on such a project, you divide the Average net profit that the project is expected to make by the Average investment value.

This in effect compares future income to the investment in the project and so is a very useful tool in analysis.

Annual Rate of Return = Average Net Profit / Average Investment

Average Net Profit.

A new salon will normally generate annual revenues of $64,160, with annual expenses (including depreciation) of $40,500.

The net profit is revenue less expenses so,

= 64,160 - 40,500

= $23,660

Average Investment

The Average Investment is calculated by taking the average of the Initial Value of the project and it's ending value.

Initial value is $262,000 as that was the cost.

The Ending Value is the salvage value of $76,000.

= (262,000 + 76,000) / 2

= $169,000

The Annual Rate of Return is,

= 23,660 / 169,000

= 0.14

= <u>14%</u>
