Uncle John's Pipe Company has been experiencing several years of financial difficulty and, thus, has considered maintaining its dividend payment at $2.50 indefinitely. What is the value of its common stock if the required rate of return is 8.5 percent?

Value of the common stock = $29.41

Explanation:

GIVEN the following ;

Dividend =$2.50

Rate of return (r) = 8.5% 0.085

The question above requires us to calculate the value of common stock which is equivalent to the present value of perpetuity which is the amount of a fixed income or cash flow an individual earns at regular interval for an INDEFINITE period.

RECALL;

PRESENT VALUE of PERPETUITY IS GIVEN BY:

PV of perpetuity = (Dividend or coupon per period ÷ interest rate(r))

PV of perpetuity = ($2.50 ÷ 0.085)

PV of perpetuity = $29.411

PV of perpetuity = $29.41

the correct answer would be b, when, queen, calder hall and london.

explanation:

we always capitalize words when a paragraph or sentence is starting, when an important name is used, when a place is being written, or simply when a noun is used, etc. so in this sentence, sentence is starting from 'when', so it will be written in capital letters. secondly, queen is considered to be an important person, so it will also be written in capital letter. next, the name of the town is mentioned, i-e calder hall, which will also be written in capital letters. in the last,   city name is being used, 'london', which will also be written in capital letters. so option b is the most appropriate one.
