Equity Futures: Ford Motor CompanyFrom the five year historical share prices of the company, below s the reliable data.If I purchase 100 futures shares now, I think the price would be determined by their price in five years will be determined by the related average growth. This average growth will be derived from the average growth in five years as observed from the five year historical prices.From the price figures above the average price level in the five years stands at 11.76. This reflects a 9.9 change in the price of the companys shares for the past five years; which is 385.14% increase. This is derived by (11.76-2.57)/2.57/ (100). Looking at the average change from the date of purchase; which is the current price, therefore, assuming my100 share purchase would grow at the same rate, the price of my futures would be;Number of shares*(price on the purchase date*percentage growth)=100*(17.08*385.14%) =6578.19I expect the price of the shares in one year to be much higher. This is because 385.14% change in the prices of a company is not a small growth rate. In one year the price of the shares will have a growth of more than triple. This shows that investing in the shares of the Ford Motor company would be a good strategic idea. According to Grundy, Johnson & Scholes (1998), strategy is always important in investment. The fact that the companys rate of return has been more than 50% is a good point to rely on with regard to the expected performance of the company. The companys expected rate of return stands at 62.17%. Thos I one of the highest rates of return in the motor vehicle industry.From the data shown above, the prices of the companys shares have been very stable. It has been moving in a reasonable rate. This means that the share prices are not affected by unreasonable movements in the companys economic as well as other factors in the market. This means that an investment on the shares of this company is good enough to guarantee good returns and stability of an investment. This would be backed up by the fact that Ford has been very stable in the car market. This can be attributed to the strong companys work ethic has been able to give the company a strong position even in times of economic and market turbulence(Besley & Brigham, 2011).. The companys policy on making the environment green and getting diverse in its activities has been very instrumental in the good performance. According to Wetherly and Otter (2008), a companys relation with the environment is very important to consider.From the growth rate I am seeing on the futures of this company, it is important to concentrate on them since my bank, the New York Mellon corporation bank is mot able to give that amount on savings or any other investment property.ReferencesBesley, S., & Brigham, E.
