Answer:
more intense the competitive pressures posed by substitute products.
Explanation:
The lower the user's switching costs: the more intense the competitive pressures posed by substitute products.
Switching costs can be defined as the cost of a consumer switching from a product to a substitute good.
Therefore when such switching costs are low, it will be easier to switch from one product to another, implying that the competitive pressure from substitute goods are higher.
Answer: $123,583.90
Explanation:
Given the following Parameters,
Net income = $120,226,
Interest rate = 9%
Tax = 30%
The following formula then applies,
Diluted EPS = (Net income + Interest after tax)/Total outstanding shares outstanding
Now, Interest(Before tax) = $53,300 * 0.09 = $4797
Now we have to calculate it After Tax
= 4,797 (1-tax rate)
= 4,797(1-0.3)
= $3,357.90
The numerator is,
= (Net income + Interest after tax)
= 120,226 + 3,357.90
= $123,583.90
The numerator in the diluted earnings per share calculation for 2018 would be $123,583.90
Answer:
D. Deflation
Explanation:
"Consumer Price Index" <em>(CPI)</em> measures the changes in the weighted average of prices of a market basket (consisting of consumer goods and services). It tells the<u> cost of living for every consumer. </u>
"Inflation" refers to the sustained increase of prices of goods and services while "deflation" refers to the sustained decrease of prices of goods and services.
In the situation above, the CPI is considered lower than before, thus <u>deflation</u> must have occurred during the second six-year period. It shows a <u>negative inflation rate.</u>
So, this explains the answer.
Answer: 2.4%
Explanation:
Cash dividend = $0.85
Earnings per share = $3.50
Market price per share = $35.50
The dividend yield will be calculated as:
= Cash dividends / Market price per share
= $0.85 / $35.50
= 0.024
= 2.4%
The dividend yield is 2.4%.
