Answer: 3%
Explanation:
To calculate the real interest rate, it should be noted that the inflation rate is needed and this can be calculated using the consumer price index as:
= [(126-120)/120] × 100
= 6/120 × 100
= 5%
Real interest rate will now be:
= Nominal Rate - Inflation Rate
= 8% - 5%
= 3%
Answer:
C. As more securities are added to a portfolio, total risk typically would be expected to fall at a decreasing rate.
Explanation:
Portfolio diversification gives more security to a portfolio, which expected to results in a decreasing rate of total risk.
The portfolio which is diversified carries the co-variance measure of risk. It has the property of reducing the risk as it diversifies the portfolio to a great extent.
It reduces the overall risk by diversifying the assets i.e. stock , bonds, commodities etc.
Hence, the most appropriate answer is option C.
Answer:
$10.28
Explanation:
<u>Step 1. Firstly we use the of the The dividend discount model (DDM)</u>
This calculation is: D1 = D0 x (1 + g)
D1 = $0.72 x (1 + 2.8%) = $0.74.
Where
Do = Dividend now
D1 = Dividend in year 1
g = growth
<u>Step 2 Next, using the Gordon Growth Model, </u>
Price per share is found to be D(1) / (r - g)
Price = $0.74 / ( 10% - 2.8%) = $10.28
where:
Do = Dividend now
D1 = Dividend in year 1
g = growth
r = required return
Answer:
What is the expected dividend yield for Portman's stock today?
d. 6.40%
Suppose Portman is considering issuing 62,500 new shares at a price of $26.78 per share. If the new shares are sold to outside investors, by how much will Judy's investment in Portman Industries be diluted on a per-share basis?
a. $0.52 per share
Thus, Judy's investment will be diluted, and Judy will experience a total loss of $0.52 x 7,500 = $3,900
Explanation:
cost of equity = Re = risk free rate of return + (Beta × market premium) = 5% + (0.90 x 6%) = 10.4%
dividend in one year = $1.68 x 120% = $2.016
intrinsic stock price = $2.016 / (10.4% - 4%) = $31.50
expected dividend yield = dividend / stock price = $2.016 / $31.50 = 6.4%
Judy's loss per share = ($31.50 - $26.78) x (62,500 / 562,500) = $0.5244
