Answer:

Correct option is B.

<u>Asset A</u>

Explanation:

Reward to variability ratio = return/σ

Asset A,σ = 15/0.4 = 37.5

Asset B,σ = 20/0.3 = 66.67

Since deviation(volatility) is lesser for asset A,a risk investor would prefer asset A.

Anne Lockwood, manager of Oaks Mall Jewelry, wants to sell on credit, giving customers 3 months to pay. However, Anne will have
Alja [10]

Answer:

15.18%

Explanation:

Calculation for the nominal annual rate

First step is to find EFF% using this formula

EFF%=[1+(Nominal rate percentage/Numbers of months in a year )]^Numbers of months in a year

Let plug in the formula

EFF%=[1+(15%/12)^12

EFF%=(1+0.0125)^12

EFF%=(1.0125)^12

EFF%=1.1608×100%

EFF%=116.08%

Second step is to find Rnom compounding quarterly of 116.08% using this formula

Rnom compounding quarterly = (1+(R/4)^4

Let plug in the formula

Rnom compounding quarterly= (116.08%)^(1/4) Rnom compounding quarterly= 1+ R/4

Hence,

Rnom compounding quarterly = 15.18%

Therefore Anne Lockwood should quote her customers with Rnom compounding quarterly of 15.18%

Nachman Industries just paid a dividend of D0 = $1.32. Analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 30% this year, by 10% i
ladessa [460]

Answer:

$44.87

Explanation:

Use Dividend Discount Model to solve this question;

First, find the dividend per year;

First year's dividend ; D1 = D0(1+g)

D1 = 1.32 (1.30) = 1.716

Second year's dividend ; D2 = 1.716 (1.10) = 1.8876

Third year's dividend ; D3 = 1.8876 (1.05) = 1.9820

Next, find the present value of each dividend at 9% required return;

PV (D1) = 1.716 / (1.09) = <em>1.5743</em>

PV (D2) = 1.8876 /(1.09²) = <em>1.5888</em>

PV (D3 onwards) = \frac{\frac{1.9820}{0.09-0.05} }{1.09^{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{47.19}{1.1881}

= PV (D3 onwards) = <em>41.7052</em>

Sum up the PVs to find the current market value of the stock;

= 1.5743 + 1.5888 + 41.7052

= 44.8683

Therefore the value is $44.87
