Bensen Co. paid a dividend of $5.25 on its common stock yesterday. The company's dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 8.5% indefinitely. The required rate of return on this stock is 15.5%. You observe a market price of $78.50 for the stock. Should you purchase this stock

I would purchase the share as he actual value is more than its current market price

Explanation:

expected dividend in perpetuity =present dividend *growth rate

present dividend is $5.25

growth rate is 8.5%

expected dividend =$5.25*(1+8.5%)

expected dividend=$5.70

in determining the actual value of the stock we the stock price formula below:

price=expected dividend/(expected return-growth rate)

price=$5.70/(15.5%-8.5%)

price=$81.43

In actual terms the stock should be selling for $81.43, hence a buy decision at $78.50 would be a welcoming as the stock is selling beyond its real worth.

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
