Hello, need some help with the following questions
1. which of the following asset valuation will deliver the highest return on asset assuming an increase in price levels?
A. Net book value
B. Gross book value
C. Replacement cost
D. Net realizable value
the answer given is A. i am confused on why the answer isnt C because based on my understanding, the replacement value is the cost of setting up an equivalent venture, so, if the price lvls increase the cost of setting up will increase. How is my understanding flawed?
2. Shine wants to buy shares of Perry co in two years. Shine uses the dividend valuation model with an assumed dividend growth of 5%.
if Shine’s discount rate is 10% and Perry’s current dividend is $20, what is the approximate price shine will pay?
A. 400
B. 420
C. 441
D. 463
The answer is D. the answer i managed to get was C.
my calculation:
Po= [20 (1.05)^2 ]/ (10%-5%)
answer:
Po= [20 (1.05)^3]/ (10%-5%)
the question stated that you will be buying the shares in 2 yrs so why is it 1.05^3 instead of 1.05^2?
1. The return on assets has the value of the assets as the denominator. Therefore the lower the value the higher the return will be.
2.Share values are always ex-div values unless told otherwise. So if they buy a share in 2 years time, the first dividend will be in 3 years time.
ahhhh, it is clear now! thank you Mr. Moffat!
You are welcome 🙂
