Adams and Collin Enterprises expect earnings and dividends to grow at a rate of 25% for the next 4 years, after the growth rate

ollegr [7]

Answer:

the intrinsic value of the stock is 42.97

If the stock is priced at 40 dollars it would be a good idea to purchase the share as will provide a better yield than the cost of capital of 9.6%

Explanation:

First, we solve for the cost of equity using the CAPM:

$Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)$

risk free = 0.03

market rate = 0.09

premium market = (market rate - risk free) = 0.055

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 1.2

$Ke= 0.03 + 1.2 (0.055)$

Ke = 0.09600

<em>Now we solve for the intrinsic price using the gordon model</em>

<em>with multi-stage growth:</em>

First, we calcualte the future dividends

grow rate Dividends

0 1.25

1 0.25 1.5625

2 0.25 1.953125

3 0.25 2.44140625

4 0.25 3.051757813

4 0.03 3.143310547

Now in the last year, we calcualte using the gordon model or constant grow:

$\frac{3.143310547}{0.096-0.03} = Intrinsic \: Value$

32.7128182

Now we calculate and add together the present value of each of this future cash flow to determnate the intrinsic value ofthe share:

$\frac{Principal}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Present Value

1 1.5625 / (1+0.096)^1 = 1.425638686

2 1.953125 / (1+0.096)^2 = 1.625956531

and so on, giving the following values:

3 1.854421226

4 2.114987712

present value of the future dividends at 3% 22.67126448

<u>Finally we add them and get:</u>

42.97160726

Answer:

Contribution margin per unit: $42.9

Total contribution margin: $8,580

Explanation:

The contribution margin per unit is calculated by calculating the total contribution margin, which is basically the total sales, minus the costs of production, in this cae we have that we sold:

60 regular chairs

140 executive charis

Now the total in sales is:

Regular sales: $6,000

Executive chairs: $23,800

The variable cost of each is:

Regular chairs: $3720

Executive chairs: $17,500

We add up the sales and withdraw from it the total variable cost:

29,800-21,220=8,850

The total contribution margin is equal to $8850.

And the contribution margin per unit is given by dividing the total contribution margin by the number of units sold:

8850/200= 42.9

So the contribution margin per unit is 42.9 dollars.

The main problem will arise when it has to be with converting the public good to numbers where it can be interpreted and studied.

Suppose an investor is considering one of two investments that are identical in all respects except for risk. If the investor an

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": pay less for the security that has higher risk.

Explanation:

While investing, risk is a measure of how an asset can fluctuate providing profits or incurring losses. Risk investment tends to be associated with volatility which is how sensitive the asset is to respond to events that can make the asset price skyrocket or drop sharply.

<em>In case an investor believes his strategy will provide a fair return, he must be considering the net profit (gross profit minus initial investment) will be high enough. Besides the initial investment should have been purchased at the lowest price possible and the asset bought must represent the security with the highest risk at the moment of the purchase.</em>

Ithaca is considering a new $45,000 snowplow that will save the city $400 per day of use compared to the existing one. It should

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a/ 20 days per year on average

b/ The use of road salt to is an effective deicer method. However, it will eventually causes some harmful impact on the environment including but not limited to increasing in water/soild salinity, contamination of public drinking waters, destroy the soild structure and slowly killing of trees and plants. Luckily, there are some other options which are more environment-friendly such as Cheese brine, Sand, Urea, Beet molasses

Explanation:

a/ To evaluate the investment of the new snowplow, denote X is the average amount of saving per a year as the new snowplow is used.

Consider the average amount of saving as an annuity for the next 12 years, with the discount rate of 14%. The present value (PV) = 45,000 - 2,500/1.14^(-12) =$44,481.1

Thus, to obtain the rate of return of 14%, PV of the annuity should be equals to $44,481.1 meaning: 44,481.1= (X/14%) x [ 1 - 1.14^(-12)] <=> X = $7858.44

As one day use would save Ithaca $400, to achieve the targeted saving of $7858.44, the city has to use the snowplow at least 20 days per year ( 7858.44/400)
