Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends. 

<span>Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)

</span>where
D1<span> = </span><span>expected annual </span>dividend<span> per share in the following year </span>
<span>k = the investor's discount rate or required </span>rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate 

<u>From the problem:</u>
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08

k is unknown

Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:

k = (D1/P0) + g

Substituting the variables with the given values, 

k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170

In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.

Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.

Consider the following: Cash in Bank - checking account of $18, 500 Cash on hand of $500. Post dated checks received totaling $3
lesya [120]

Answer:

b $19,000

Explanation:

The reconciliation between the book balance and the bank statement examines the transactions recorded in either account but omitted in the other and the transactions recorded wrongly in  both accounts.

Given the following transactions

Cash in Bank - checking account = $18, 500

Cash on hand = $500

Post dated checks received =  $3 500 and

Certificates of deposits = $24,000

Cash balance in balance sheet = $18, 500 + $500 + $24,000

= $43,000

The post dated check is not included as the cash is yet to be received. The balance in the post dated check will form part of the receivables balance and not that of cash.

The certificate of deposit may be accounted for as part of cash and cash equivalent as shown in the computation above. Where the certificate of deposit is accounted for as a short term investment,

Cash balance in balance sheet = $18, 500 + $500 = $19,000

OMG Inc. has 4 million shares of common stock outstanding, 3 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 50 thousand bond
babymother [125]

Answer:

w_{d} = 0.3274 or, 32.74%

Explanation:

We know,

Capital Structure = Debt + Common Stock + Preferred stock

Given,

Common Stock = 4,000,000 shares

Share price = $21

Total common stock = No. of shares x share price

Total common stock = 4,000,000 shares × $21 = $84,000,000

Preferred Stock = 3,000,000 shares

Share price = $10

Total preferred stock = $10 x 3,000,000 shares

Total preferred stock = $30,000,000

Debt rate = 111% = 1.11

Debt = 50,000 bonds x $1000 par x 1.11

Debt = $55,500,000

Total Capital = $(55,500,000 + 84,000,000 + 30,000,000)

Total capital structure = $169,500,000

The weight for debt in the computation of OMG's WACC

= \frac{Debt}{Total Capital Structure}

= \frac{55,500,000}{169,500,000}

= 0.3274

or, 32.74%

When the store hires two workers, they are able to serve 16 customers per hour. When the store hires three workers they are able
kotegsom [21]

Answer: $24

Explanation:

Given that,

Two workers serve = 16 customers per hour

Three workers serve = 22 customers per hour

Each customer spends an average of $4 in the store.

Total revenue from Two workers = 16 × $4

                                                       = $64

Total revenue from Three workers = 22 × $4

                                                          = $88

Therefore, the marginal benefit of hiring the third worker would be:

=  Total revenue from Three workers - Total revenue from Two workers

= $88 - $64

= $24

how can you guarantee that your talk or speech will be interesting to your audience? Is this good advice? Why or why not? Justif
Rashid [163]
If you want to make sure it's interesting, you have to cater your speech/talk to your target audience. This is good advice. A 15-page detailed Powerpoint presentation with note cards would do as much good when presenting to kindergarteners as a water hose would do good in a flood. But, say, it was a fire, then the water hose might come in handy. In our case, your boss at the business meeting would find your Powerpoint much more interesting than kindergarteners would. 

Hope this helps! Have a nice day :)
