Consider the situation with the following initial values. The risk-free rate of return is 3 percent, and the expected return on the market is 8.7 percent. Stock A has a beta coefficient of 1.4, a dividend growth rate of 5 percent, and a current dividend of $2.60 per share. The value of the stock is $45.65 currently.

A) If the expected return on the market rises to 10 percent and the other variables remain at their initial values, what will be the value of the stock (new value is $35). Explain why the value of the stock changes from the original value of $46.65.

B) If the risk-free return rises to 4.5 percent and the return on the market rises to 10.2 percent, but all other variables remain at their initial values, what will be the value of the stock (value is $36.50). Explain why the value of the stock changes from the original value of $46.65.

C) If the beta coefficient falls to 1.1 and the other variables remain at their initial values, what will be the value of the stock (value is $63.93). Explain why the value of the stock changes from the original value of $46.65.

PC Connection and CDW are two online retailers that compete in an Internet market for digital cameras. While the products they sell are similar, the firms attempt to differentiate themselves through their service policies. Over the last couple of months, PC Connection has matched CDW’s price cuts, but has not matched its price increases. Suppose that when PC Connection matches CDW’s price changes, the inverse demand curve for CDW’s cameras is given by P = 1,000 - 2Q. When it does not match price changes, CDW’s inverse demand curve is P = 700 -0.5Q. Based on this information, determine CDW’s inverse demand function over the last couple of months.

I got the first part, P=700-.5Q if Q is less than or equal to 200, and 1000-2Q if Q is greater than or equal to 200. I can't figure out how to find the range in which changes in marginal cost have no effect on CDW's profit-maximizing level of output.

neno Industries just paid a dividend of $1.30. Analysts expect the company's dividend to grow by 15 percent for 3 years and then the rate of growth changes to 5 percent per year from Year 4 onwards. The required rate of return is 8 percent. What is the total present value of the dividends for the first 3 years i.e. for stage I?

The required rate of return is 8 percent. What is the present value of cash flows during the stage II?

The board of directors for a particular company consists of 10 members, 6 of whom are loyal to the current company president and 4 of whom want to fire the president. Suppose the chair of the board (who is a loyal supporter of the current president) suggests to randomly select 4 other board members to serve on a committee to decide the president’s fate. Find the probability for the first 3 questions and explain your answer for the fourth question. (75–150 words, or 1–2 paragraphs)

-What is the probability that all 5 committee members will vote to keep the president in place, if no one changes their minds?

-What is the probability that a majority of the committee will vote to keep the president in place, if no one changes their minds?

-What is the probability that the vote is 4 to 1 to replace the president, if no one changes their minds?

-Imagine that you were the president of the company and you hoped to keep your position. Considering the various probabilities, would you consider the chair of the board’s suggestion to be in your favor or not? If the choice was yours, would you allow the suggestion to proceed?

Considering the idea of the liquidity preference theory of chapter 5, we are considering the relationship between changes in a measure of the US money supply and changes in interest rates.   Admittedly the theory and state of analysis is a bit vague in some ways because it isn’t really clear which interest rate and which money supply aggregate to use.   You will find in the data sheet DISC02Data.xlsx useful. In the first tab “RawDataFromFred” is data on M2 and a 3 month interest rate. I have added two additional items, calculations shown. The first is YRLY%M2, the second is MTHLY%M2.   YRLY%M2 is the yearly percentage change in M2 over a year period, MTHLY%M2 is the monthly change in M2 over a month to month period. Use the data in the tab “Q1Analysis” as that has all you need and the dates of the variables are matched.

1. According to the Liquidity Preference Theory, what type of relationship should I expect between changes in the money supply and interest rates? Explain.

1. Suppose that the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) is considering using trade policies to protect U.S. wheat farmers/producers. The USITC plans to use the following trade policies: (i) an export subsidy (ii) a production subsidy; (iii) an export tariff; and (iv) an export quota. Assume that the U.S is a small Home country in the world market for wheat.

a. As an international trade lobbyist for U.S consumers and taxpayers, which two of the four forms of trade policies would you strongly support and why? [20%] [ Approximately 200- 400 words]

b. From the remaining two forms of trade restrictions, which one would you oppose strongly and why? [10%] [ Approximately 100- 200 words]

Draw the graphs to explain the changes in consumer surplus, changes in producer surplus, changes in government revenue and the net welfare loss due to each of the trade policies that you have selected. Be sure to discuss other important differences among the trade policies for the organization that hired you as a lobbyist.

Case-IT Auditing

ABC has a sound change management process/policy for program code changes that includes the ability for users to request changes which are entered by users through a web based internally managed portal (CMP)ICS). User requests are then electronically routed to the appropriate IT and business personnel for review and approval to proceed to work the request. Once IT completes the coding revisions and performs unit and system testing, then users will test the system changes. Upon satisfactory testing the users will formally approve the movement of code to production using the web-based change portal. IT will then work with the business areas to move the code from the test environment to production at the agreed to time. All testing support is retained. ABC IT department maintains a downtime window on Sundays that allow time for code migrations. Additionally, this same downtime window allows for appropriate full backups to occur for all systems. During the week incremental backups occurs.
