Apple Inc. is expected to pay a dividend of $2.20 at the end of the coming year. It is expected to sell for $80 at the end of the year. If its equity cost of capital is 15%, what is the expected capital gain from the sale of this stock at the end of the coming year

Step-by-step explanation:

d1 = 2.20

p1 = 80

k - cost of capital, 15%

p0 = (p1+d1)/(1+k) = (2.20+80)/1.15 = 82.20/1.15 = $71.48

Capital gain = 80 - 71.48 = 8.52

Capital gain in percentage = (80-71.48)/71.48 = 11.92%

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
