Answer and Explanation:
Given that the dividend will grow at 20% for two years and then a constant 6% at third year
1st year dividend at 20%= $3
Present value of the dividend for the first year=PV factor at 15%(from table) = $2.61
2nd year dividend at 20% = $3.60
Present value of the dividend for the second year = PV factor at 15%(from table) $2.72
3rd year dividend at 6% growth rate =
$42.40
Present value of the dividend for the third year = PV factor at 15% = $32.06
Current price of the stock =$2.61+$2.72+$32.06
=$37.39
The survey done by Apex Corporation
on its consumers to find out how they view the similarities and dissimilarities
among relevant product attributes for a set of competing brands is an example
of PRODUCT POSITIONING RESEARCH. The main aim of a Product Positioning Research
is to understand the position of a product or a brand in comparison to a competing
product or brand.
Mr. Romeri's actions in deceiving Ms. Conley were legal and ethical --- this statement is FALSE. Deception is never legal nor ethical. Especially in this case where a man deceived a woman for his personal gain. This may be acquitted in some courts but normally this is not acceptable.
Such considerations include understanding of:
the reasons for and objectives of sampling.
the relationship between accuracy and precision.
the reliability of estimates with varying sample size.
the determination of safe sample sizes for surveys.
the variability of data.
Answer:
The required return for the new project is 6.87%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the required return for the new project we would have to calculate the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) adjusted by risk adjustment factor
.
The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]
After -tax Cost of Debt = 3.40%
Cost of Equity = 10.80%
Weight of Debt = 0.39
Weight of Equity = 0.69
Therefore, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity x Weight of Equity]
= [3.40% x 0.39] + [10.80% x 0.69]
= 1.32% + 7.45%
= 8.77%
The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor
= 8.77% - 1.90%
= 6.87%
The required return for the new project is 6.87%
