CONSTANT GROWTH

CONSTANT GROWTH Your broker offers to sell you some shares of Bahnsen & Co. com- mon stock that paid a dividend of $2.00 yesterday. Bahnsen’s dividend is expected to grow at 5% per year for the next 3 years. If you buy the stock, you plan to hold it for 3 years and then sell it. The appropriate discount rate is 12%. a. Find the expected dividend for each of the next 3 years; that is, calculate D1, D2, and D3. Note that D0 1⁄4 $2.00. b. Given that the first dividend payment will occur 1 year from now, find the present value of the dividend stream; that is, calculate the PVs of D1, D2, and D3 and then sum these PVs. c. You expect the price of the stock 3 years from now to be $34.73; that is, you expect P^3 to equal $34.73. Discounted at a 12% rate, what is the present value of this expected future stock price? In other words, calculate the PV of $34.73. d. If you plan to buy the stock, hold it for 3 years, and then sell it for $34.73, what is the most you should pay for it today? e. Use Equation 9-2 to calculate the present value of this stock. Assume that g 1⁄4 5% and that it is constant. f. Is the value of this stock dependent upon how long you plan to hold it? In other words, if your planned holding period was 2 years or 5 years rather than 3 years, would this affect the value of the stock today, P^0? Explain.

Part 1` Mining Enterprise is a small company with 15 employees. They have just opened shop in a small office complex. They need to install a LAN, because they have an information database that all the employees use,, for purpose of payroll, accounting, and for the geological informational database. Because money is fairly tight, the company decides to spend as little as possible to setup its network.
Part II. Now, two years after its first LAN, Enterprise Mining needs to expand. Business has been very good, and employees ate extremely productive working on an efficient LAN. The problem is, though, that there is no office space left for Enterprise Mining on its present floor.( It is currently on the 2nd floor). Enterprise Mining needs to connect its LAN on the second floor with the LAN on the 22nd floor. Although business is good, Enterprise Mining is still a little tight for cash.
Part III. It is now five years later. Enterprise Mining has expanded even further. It now operates on eight different floors. Each floor is almost like its own business unit, but a fair bit of data is still transferred between the different floors. Also, some industrial espionage rumors have begun to circulate, so security is of importance. The budget can be sacrificed to a degree for security, but the sky is not the limit.
Part IV. No requirements has expanded into washing carpets as well(nothing like a diversified company).

What role does religion, morality, and worldview play in the creation of public policy?

you will be required to draft 1 short research paper. The paper must be at least 500 words (not including the title page and bibliography), in current Turabian format, with default margins and in 12-pt. Times New Roman font. Each paper must include citations (footnotes or endnotes) to adequate sources supporting and/or illustrating your positions. A minimum of 3 sources are required. Each paper must include a title page and bibliography in current Turabian format.
Do not let the short length requirement of this paper mislead you. Concise writing is often more demanding than expansive writing. The goal of this paper is not merely to offer your opinion or subjective discussion of the topic, but rather to provide a concise, well-supported analysis of a fundamental question: What role does religion, morality, and worldview play in the creation of public policy?
This is an open research project, meaning that you are expected to use and cite support outside of the class readings. Superficiality is a danger with this topic as it would be easy to write two pages without reaching the substance of the discussion. Better papers will show not only a grasp of the abstract aspects of this question but an understanding of its practical implications.
