A stock will pay no dividends for the next 3 years. Four years from now, the stock is expected to pay its first dividend in the amount of $2.1. It is expected to pay a dividend of $2.9 exactly five years from now. The dividend is expected to grow at a rate of 5% per year forever after that point. The required return on the stock is 14%. The stock's estimated price per share exactly TWO years from now, P2 , should be $______. Do not round any intermediate work, but round your final answer to 2 decimal places (ex: $12.34567 should be entered as 12.35). Margin of error for correct responses: +/- .10.

Inflation Issues

• Does the base basket used to create the CPI precisely reflect your individual choices? If the answer is no, do the inflation rates calculated using the CPI represent the changes in purchasing power that you actually experience?
• Do you substitute between goods as one becomes more expensive, i.e., would you buy more of a less expensive good if the price of your first choice rose significantly? If the answer is yes, does the CPI inflation rate represent the decrease in purchasing power that you actually experienced?
• Based on your answers to the above, does the choice of the market basket matter?

Sales price P15 per unit

Variable costs:

SG&A P2 per unit

Production P4 per unit

Fixed costs (total cost incurred for the

Betsy Birdsong, an interior designer, has made plans to definitely retire in three years. She has begun to downsize her business and is moving out of the 2,000 square foot commercial condominium she owns in a prestigious business park. Betsy does not wish to sell at this time, so she has decided to offer the condominium as a lease-purchase option. While she hasn't decided on a purchase price, she is adamant about the lease term:   a three-year lease with a two-year option (for the first two years only).  

What is your opinion as to why she would require such a lease term?

Prepare an amortization spreadsheet in Excel.  The sheet should be labeled, and I should be able to change purchase price, interest rate, or the other relevant factors and the spreadsheet should automatically update. As we discussed in class, spend some time labeling the spreadsheet and using proper cell references.  This is the first but not the last spreadsheet of this type, it is highly likely that elements of this spreadsheet will be helpful in subsequent assignments, so time spent here may mean less time in the future.

For an initial calculation, assume you are purchasing a $400,000 home with 5% down at an interest rate of 4%, financed over 30 years using a traditional mortgage.

19. You are considering leasing a car. You notice an ad that says you can lease the car you want for $417.00 per month. The lease term is 60 months with the first payment due at inception of the lease. You must also make an additional down payment of $2,370. The ad also says that the residual value of the vehicle is $18,500. After much research, you have concluded that you could buy the car for a total "driveout"price of $35,800. What is the quoted annual interest rate you will pay with the lease? (please solve in excel and explain which pieces of information are relevant) :) Thank you!
