Answer:
5.62%
13.75%
Explanation:
According to the DDM method,
the value of a stock = [dividend x ( 1 + growth rate)] / [cost of equity - growth rate]
67 = 0.4(1.05) / r - 0.05
multiply both sides of the equation by r -0.05
67(r - 0.05) = 0.42
divide both sides of the equation by 67
r - 0.05 = 0.006269
r = 0.0563
= 5.63%
b. the cost of equity using the capm method =
risk free rate of return + beta x ( expected return - risk free return)
5% + 1.25 x (12 - 5) = 13.75%
Answer: A. Reserves ↓: Excess reserves ↓; Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Money supply ↓
Explanation:
The discount rate is the rate at which the Fed lends money to banks and other depository type institutions. Normally banks have a reserve requirement that the Fed requires of them which states how much they are to leave with the Fed as a reserve. Banks tend to fall short of this reserve sometimes and so can borrow from the Fed to balance it off.
If the Fed increase the rate at which these banks can borrow, they will not want to do so thus leaving their Reserves at the Fed lower than it should be. They will then use their excess reserves which is money kept in reserve more than the Fed requires, to balance off their reserve at the Fed.
As a result of this reduction in their Excess reserve, they will have less money to give out as loans. With less loans being made, people will not have as much money to deposit after taking the loans. Money supply will then fall as a whole.
We would need to see the graph, but the equilibrium point is where the wage paid is equal to the supply of workers. On a graph, this would be the point where the two lines intersect. That is the point where the supply of people willing to do the job at a certain rate, meets the company's demand for workers and the rate they are willing to pay.
True, because the more variables the better
