What dividends do you expect for JJ stock over the next 3 years?

The correct answer is $1.79

B. JJ’s stock has a required return of 13% and so this is the rate you’ll use to discount dividends. Find the present value of the dividends stream; that is. Calculate the PV of D1, D2, and D3, and then sum these PVs.

The correct answer is $3.97

C. JJ stock should trade for $27.05 3 years from now (i. e you expect p3=$27.05) discounted at 13% rate, what is the present value of this expected future stock price? In other words, calculate the PV of $27.05

The correct answer is $18.74

D. If you plan to buy the stock, hold it for 3 years, and then sell it for $27.05, what is the most you should pay for it?

The correct answer is $22.71

E. Use the constant growth model to calculate the present value of this stock. Assume that g= 6% and is constant.

F. Is the value of this stock dependent on how long you plan to hold it? In other words, if you planned holding period were 2 years or 5 years rather than 3 years, would this affect the value of the stock today, p0? Explain your answer

5. profit maximization and shutting down in the short run suppose that the market for polos is a competitive market. the following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 price (dollars per polo) quantity (thousands of polos) mc atc avc for each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (hint: you can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the previous graph to see precise information on average variable cost.) price quantity total revenue fixed cost variable cost profit (dollars per polo) (polos) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) 12.50 135,000 27.50 135,000 45.00 135,000 if the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (fc) in the short run. in this case, the firm's fixed cost is $135,000 per day. in other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $135,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease). this firm's shutdown price—that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down—is per polo.
