If a number is decreased by its square the result is 2/9. find the number

1 answer:

6 0

Let x be the number.
x-x²=2/9, so 9x-9x²=2 or 9x²-9x+2=0=(3x-2)(3x-1). Therefore x=2/3 or 1/3.
Check: 2/3-4/9=6/9-4/9=2/9 and 1/3-1/9=3/9-1/9=2/9.

Orwell building supplies' last dividend was $1.75. Its dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 38.00% for 2 years, af

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Estimated current stock price is $46.84

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the value of dividend payment $t_1, t_2 \& t_3$

Given $D_0=$1.75$

Yearly growth rate for next 2 years( $g_1$ )=38.00%

$D_1=\$1.75\times 1.38=\$2.42$

$D_2=\$2.42\times1.38=\$3.34$

Growth after two years will 6% indefinitely

$g_2=6\%=\dfrac{6}{100}=0.06$

$D_3=\$3.34\times1.06=\$3.54$

Estimate of current stock price is

$=\dfrac{D_1}{(1+r)}+\dfrac{D_2}{(1+r)^{2}}+\dfrac{\dfrac{D_3}{(r-g_2)}}{(1-r)^{3}}$

$=\dfrac{\$2.42}{(1.12)}+\dfrac{\$3.34}{(1.12)^{2}}+\dfrac{\dfrac{\$3.54}{(0.12-0.06)}}{(1.12)^{3}}$

=$46.84

Estimate of current stock price is =$46.84
