Computech corporation is expanding rapidly and currently needs to retain all of its earnings; hence, it does not pay dividends. however, investors expect computech to begin paying dividends, beginning with a dividend of $0.50 coming 3 years from today. the dividend should grow rapidly - at a rate of 28% per year - during years 4 and 5, but after year 5, growth should be a constant 8% per year. if the required return on computech is 18%, what is the value of the stock today? do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to the nearest cent.

The value of the stock today is  $4.86

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to find the value of dividend 4, 5 and 6, ths las one we will use to find the perpetuity value of this stock (since it will grow at 8% from year 5). So, let´s go ahead and find D4, D5 and D6

Now, we need to find the price of this stock, for that we have to bring to present value all those cash flows.

Where:

r = required return of Computech

g= growth rate from year 5 (8%)

Everything should look like this.

Therefore:

So, today´s value of this stock is $4.86

no, a company likes to look at potential employees that are professional, well mannered, clean, honest, etc. don't show up looking/acting like a clown. (unless that's your job xd) hope this ! =^-^=

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
