The isberg company just paid a dividend of $0.75 per share, and that dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5.50% per year in the future. the company's beta is 1.25, the market risk premium is 5.00%, and the risk-free rate is 4.00%. what is the company's current stock price, p?

$ 16.66

Explanation: As we know that :-

Stock price = D1/ ( R - g)

where,

D1 = Expected dividend for next year

R = cost of capital

g = growth rate

So now,

D1 = D (1+g)  =  0.75 (1 + 5.5%)  =  $0.79125

g   = 5.5%

R   = rf + (β) * (ERm)

     = 4% + (1.25) * (5%)

     = 10.25%

Now, putting the values into equation we get :-

Stock price = $0.79125/ ( 10.25%  - 5.5% )

                   =  $16.66

ans.

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

i believe the answer would have to be a dependable person
