Bob bought some land costing $16,390. today, that same land is valued at $46,817. How long has bob owned this land if the price

faltersainse [42]

Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

Given that land was bought by Bob for $16390, the price is increasing at the rate of 6%, price of land today is $46817.

We are required to find the time for which Bob need to own the land so that the price of the land is $46817 today.

Compounding means calculating amount on the principal and the amount added interest.

Rate of increasing the price of land be 6%.

Price when Bob bought the land=$16390.

Price of land today=$46817.

It is like compounding of interest and the sum is calculated as under:

S=P* $(1+r)^{n}$

In the above equation P is theamount at beginning,r is rate of increasing and n is the number of years.

46817=16390 $(1+0.06)^{n}$

46817/16390= $(1.06)^{n}$

$(1.06)^{n}$ =2.8564

$(1.06)^{n}$ = $(1.06)^{18}$ (Approximately)

From both the sides we will get n=18.

Hence Bob has to own his land for 18 years if the price is increasing at the rate of 6% per year.

A rapidly growing company just paid a dividend of $1.50 a share. For the next three years, the earnings growth rate is projected

Lelu [443]

Answer:

$41.66

Explanation:

Let us assume the dividend in year n be denoted by Dn and the Stock price by Pn

Given that,

D0 = $1.50

Now

Growth rate for next 3 years

g1 = 15%

D1 = D0 × (1 + g1)

= 1.50 × (1 + 0.15)

= 1.725

D2 = D1 × (1 + g1)

= 1.725 × (1 + 0.15)

= 1.984

D3 = D2 × (1 + g1)

= 1.984 × (1 + 0.15)

= 2.282

Subsequent Growth rate = g2 = 4%

Now

D4 = D3 × (1 + g2)

= 2.282 × (1 + 0.04)

= 2.373

So, According to Gordon's Growth Rate,

P3 = D4 ÷(r - g2)

P3 = 2.373 ÷ (0.09 - 0.04)

= $47.46

Now

Value of Stock now is

= P0

= D1 ÷ (1 + r) + D2 ÷ (1 + r)^2 + D3 ÷ (1 + r)^3 + P3 ÷ (1 + r )^3

= 1.725 ÷ (1 + 0.09) + 1.984 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^2 + 2.282 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^3 + 47.46 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^3

= $41.66

Alona [7]

When the bonds will mature, the company will receive, maturity value plus the interest earned on the bonds.

The maturity value will be the par value, as nothing is given, the bonds are redeemed at par value i.e. $ 46,000.

The interest income will be calculated as -

Interest Income = 7 % * $ 46,000 = $ 3,220

Thus, the total cash proceeds = $ 46,000 + $ 3,220 = $ 49,220

A manager invests $20,000 in equipment that would help the company reduce it's per unit costs from $15 to $12. He expects the eq

yKpoI14uk [10]

Since the cost of $20,000 has been incurred two years ago, the firm should check and see as to how many units of the product were produced in the two years. Did the firm produce enough items to break even the cost of acquisition. Additionally the business should also check the current market value of this two year old equipment. The business manager should weigh in the savings that is to be obtained from outsourcing along with the resale value of the old machine and then take a declension as to whether the company should go for outsourcing. Also, the business manager must examine whether the outsourcing can happen for the long run. This is because two years down the line, outsourcing may have increased the cost and again another process may look attractive. So a through cost benefit analysis should be made before taking a decision.
