Answer:

Cost of equity =  7.47%

Explanation:

<em>The Discounted Cash flow (DCF) Model; This is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows that would arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return. </em>

Using this model,  the required rate of return is the cost of equity. It is given below as follows:

Cost of equity (Ke) =( D(1+g)/P) + g

Div in year 0, P= ex-div market price, g= growth rate in div.

D- 0.75 , g- 2.9%, P-16.90

For this question,

Ke= ( 0.75×(1+0.029)/16.90 ) + 0.029

=0.0746 × 100  

= 7.47%

Cost of equity =  7.47%

Marginal cost is calculated for a particular increase in output by A. multiplying the total cost by the change in output. B. div
Alina [70]

Answer:

B) dividing the change in total cost by the change in output

Explanation:

Marginal cost(MC) is the cost incurred as a result of producing additional units of goods and services. It is calculated by dividing a change in total cost by a change in output.

That is,

Marginal cost(MC)= change in total cost(TC)/ change in output

Total cost(TC): This is the addition of fixed and variable cost in production.

Total cost(TC)= fixed cost (FC)+variable cost (VC)

Fixed cost (FC) are cost that doesn't change during the production process such as buildings, machineries and furniture.

Variable cost (VC) are cost that changes or are used up during production process such as raw materials.

The quantity theory of money is a theory of how A) the money supply is determined. B) interest rates are determined. C) the nomi
meriva

Answer:

C) the nominal value of aggregate income is determined

Explanation:

The quantity theory of money states that nominal aggregate income is determined by money supply. It is assumed that money velocity is constant in the short run and so would not impact nominal aggregate income.

The quantity theory of money is obtained from the equation of exchange which is:

(Money supply × velocity ) = (price × agregrate output)

Dividing both sides by velocity gives,

Money supply = (1/velocity) × ( price × agregrate output)

It is assumed velocity is constant, therefore,

Money supply = k × (price × agregrate output)

I hope my answer helps.

All the best
