Simplifying
(2a + 5)(3a + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2a)(3a + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2a)(-4 + 3a) = 0

Multiply (5 + 2a) * (-4 + 3a)
(5(-4 + 3a) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
((-4 * 5 + 3a * 5) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
((-20 + 15a) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
(-20 + 15a + (-4 * 2a + 3a * 2a)) = 0
(-20 + 15a + (-8a + 6a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 15a + -8a = 7a
(-20 + 7a + 6a2) = 0

Solving
-20 + 7a + 6a2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-5 + -2a)(4 + -3a) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-5 + -2a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-5 + -2a = 0

Solving
-5 + -2a = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -2a = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -2a = 0 + 5
-2a = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-2a = 5

Divide each side by '-2'.
a = -2.5

Simplifying
a = -2.5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + -3a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + -3a = 0

Solving
4 + -3a = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -3a = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -3a = 0 + -4
-3a = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-3a = -4

Divide each side by '-3'.
a = 1.333333333

Simplifying
a = 1.333333333
Solution
a = {-2.5, 1.333333333}

Francis Inc.'s stock has a required rate of return of 10.25%, and it sells for $57.50 per share. The dividend is expected to gro
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:            ke = D1/Po + g

                 0.1025 = D1/57.50 + 0.06

        0.1025-0.06 = D1/57.50

            0.0425     = D1/57.50

                      D1    = 0.0425 x 57.50

                      D1    = $2.444

           

Explanation: Cost of equity is equal to dividend in 1 year's time divided by the current market price plus the growth rate. Other variables were provided in the question except the dividend at the end of the year (D1).

Thus, D1 becomes the subject of the formula. The appropriate cost of equity is $2.44. The correct answer is B.

anzhelika [568]

Answer: C) noncompensatory rule

Explanation:

The non-compensatory rule is used to describe a situation where a person does not believe that the good traits of a product in one area will compensate for perceived bad traits in another area.

For Elton, the good trait is well known brand names and the bad trait is brand names that are not well known. Even if for the brand that is not well known, the price is lower, the discount is higher or the store is well known, these still will not be enough to compensate for the bad trait of not being well known.
