The company's cost of equity is 9.45%

Given that

Annual dividend paid, D0 = $2.35

Dividend growth rate, g = 3.15% = 0.0315

Current stock price per share = $38.44

Now,

Current price of share = D1 ÷ (r - g) -(1)

Here,

r is the required rate of return

D1 = dividend at year 1 =  D0 × (1 + g)

= $2.35 × (1 + 0.0315)

= $2.424045

Therefore, from (1) we get

$38.44 = $2.424045 ÷ (r - 0.022)

(r - 0.0315) = 0.063060

r = 0.063060 + 0.0315

r = 0.09456

r = 0.0945 × 100% = 9.45%

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

One typical example of this linkage between the economy at the macroeconomic level, and business decisions at the macroeconomic and microeconomic level, is what happened with Lehman Brothers in 2008.

Explanation:

Lehman Brothers was one of the main investment banks in the United States. During the years prior to the financial crisis, Lehman Brothers decided to pursue a risky but profitable strategy of over leveraging -lending a lot more money than they had as deposits.

Once the financial crisis hit, a macroeconomic event, it affected the company at the macro and micro level. At the macro level because Lehman Brothers itself ceased to exist as it went bankrupt, and at the micro level, because it had to enter a process to pay off some debtors, and some of the employees who were laid off due to the dissolution of the firm.

The price-elasticity of demand coefficient, Ed, is measured in terms of:_______
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

c. percentage change in price and percentage change in quantity demanded.

Explanation:

A price elasticity of demand can be defined as a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a product demanded with respect to a change in price of the product, all things being equal.

The price-elasticity of demand coefficient, Ed, is measured in terms of percentage change in price and percentage change in quantity demanded.

The demand for goods is said to be elastic, when the quantity of goods demanded by consumers with respect to change in price is very large. Thus, the more easily a consumer can switch to a substitute product in relation to change in price, the greater the elasticity of demand.

Generally, consumers would like to be buy a product as its price falls or become inexpensive.

For substitute products (goods), the price elasticity of demand is always positive because the demand of a product increases when the price of its close substitute (alternative) increases.

If the price elasticity of demand for a product equals 1, as its price rises the total revenue does not change because the demand is unit elastic.
