Problem 5

5.1 Gordon’s model of equity valuation assumes k < g. (True / False)

5.2 High P/E multiple may indicate, all else equal:

              a. High growth

              b. Low systematic risk

              d. Overvaluation

              e. Any of the above

5.3 Under Gordon’s model of equity valuation, the same dividend amount is paid out in perpetuity. (True / False)

5.4 Retention ratio is the percentage of earnings that is paid out as dividends. (True / False)

5.5 Firm X is priced at $10 per share. Expected dividend next year is $1 per share, and the expected stock price next year is $11. Therefore, stock is expected to earn (11 + 1 – 10)/10 = 20%. This implies that the company has required rate of return that is also 20%. (True / False)

5.6 When ROE < k, increasing _______ should increase the intrinsic value of equity.

              a. Retention ratio

              b. Dividend payout

              c. Dividend growth rate

5.7 Present Value of Growth Opportunities PVGO can never be negative. (True / False)

5.8 Required rate of return on equity can be found from which formula?

              a. CAPM

              b. Gordon’s Model

              c. ROE

              d. Either of the above, depends on what information is provided

5.9 If the company is correctly priced under Gordon’s model, and changing dividend payout policy does not change stock price, it must be that

              a. ROE = k

              b. The company is a cash cow

              c. PVGO > 0

5.10 Growth in dividends can be represented as sustainable growth rate in Gordon’s model. (True / False)

Java question, not sure how to do this...

You need to create a base class that should have the following functionality.

- Calculate avg. Students grade. Input parameter to this method is an array that shows grades for at least ten courses.

You need to create a child class that inherits the base class. The child class should have a method to calculate max grade from 10 courses.

You need to write a demo class. The demo class should have a main method that calls child class and able to provide max and avg. Grade.

Compare and Contrast stage models of change management.

Suppose you are at a party, and one of your human friends decides to run around the room screaming "I'm a jawed fish." It's not a costume party, so the other guests look at your friend a bit oddly-- actually a lot oddly-- and they edge away. But you stand up and say that your friend is right. Assuming that the other partygoers are trained in phylogenetic systematics, what argument could you make to convince them? Your answer will be most convincing if it is constructed in complete sentences and uses specific and appropriate terms (spelled correctly); you could also use figures to help illustrate the point you are making.

Okay, I have a general idea of how to use the scanner, but i'm a bit confused of how to ask multiple questions and also how maps work, which is making me struggle on this questions... If i had more time, i'd study a bit more, but I only have about 3 hours. If possible, could you explain every step with comments?

Use the scanner class to ask users their name and age. Store at least 10 users on a map, and use the iterator to print all the values. Print the youngest user's name

Why are educational programs that outline the risks associated with STDs not completely effective? What might be done to enhance their effectiveness among an adolescent population? Please be specific in your reasons and your suggestions. Include information from research.

random election of 11 children tested and finds that their mean attention span is 31 minutes with a standard deviation of 8 minutes. assuming attention spans are normally distributed, find a 95% confidence interval for the mean attention span of children.   also calculate the upper and lower limit of the confidence interval

8. Assume you have a singly linked list with no tail pointer. Implement removeTail(). Raise an exception of the method is called on an empty list.
template<typename Object> class LinkedList {
private:

class Node {

Object data;

Node* next;

};

Node *head;
public:

LinkedList() : head(nullptr) {}

Object removeTail(Object data);

};

9. What are iterators? What purpose do they serve?
10. What does it mean to invalidate an iterator?
11. Explain the difference between separate chaining and open addressing in hash tables.
12. Define load factor and explain its relevance to hash table performance.
13. What are collisions with respect to hash tables?
14. Which hash tables distinguish between slots that have never been used, and slots that once contained an item but has now been deleted.
15. List and explain the worst-case and average-case running times for each HashTable method below
(a) void insert(Key k, Value v)

(b) bool contains(Key k)

(c) Value get(Key k)

1. Write a function named computeInterest that computes the amount

# of interest on a given amount of money. The function should accept

# the amount of starting money (deposit) and the interest rate (rate)

# and return total amount of money in account after the interest is added.

# Just use a basic interest calculations. For example, for a deposit of

# 100 and a rate of 0.045 your function should return 104.5.

# You must have exception handling. If a string value is sent to the

# function instead of a number, print "Use only numeric values".

#

# Finally, add MULTIPLE doctest tests to the docstring below to test your

# computeInterest method using a number different values

def computeInterest(deposit, rate):

'''

Compute and return the total value of a deposit after applying a simple

interest amount.

A random sample of n = 1,400 observations from a binomial population produced x = 659.

(a) If your research hypothesis is that p differs from 0.5, what hypotheses should you test?

H₀: p ≠ 0.5 versus H_a: p = 0.5H₀: p = 0.5 versus H_a: p < 0.5     H₀: p = 0.5 versus H_a: p > 0.5H₀: p < 0.5 versus H_a: p > 0.5H₀: p = 0.5 versus H_a: p ≠ 0.5

(b) Calculate the test statistic and its p-value. (Round your test statistic to two decimal places and your p-value to four decimal places.)

Explain 302(b)(2)'s requirement of "substantially disproportionate with respect to the shareholder" for a redemption to be treated as an exchange (aka stock ownership testes).

I was asked to create a function called mydrawing in Matlab to draw or plot lines onto a graph, using a so called pen.

The pen will start at the origin and will move along the +ve horizontal axis. The pen is also supplied with a list of commands in a form of a string, to draw or plot the lines onto the graph. The string commands are:

1) 'F' : the pen moves forward by x = 1.0

2) 'R' : the pen will turn right by a known angle

3) 'L' : the pen will turn left by a known angle

This function is written in such a way that if I type mydrawing(*insert the string*, *insert the angle*), I could draw or plot a square in the graph.

How do I code for these functions in Matlab?
