As long as the marginal benefits are higher than the marginal costs you are better off continuing the activity.

Consider the example of eating pizza. Each slice of pizza gives you happiness and helps fill you up (marginal benefit), but each slice also has lots of calories and fat (marginal cost). As long as you are still hungry and getting enjoyment from eating, you should keep eating. But once you reach the point where you are too full then you should stop, because the costs now outweigh the benefits.

Harry Corporation's common stock currently sells for $180 per share. Harry just paid a dividend of $10.18 and dividends are expe

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$190.64

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Current selling price of shares = $180 per share

Dividend paid = $10.18

Expected growth rate, g = 6% = 0.06

Required rate of return, r = 12% = 0.12

Now,

The dividend for the following year to the next year, D1 = $10.18 × (1 + g)ⁿ

here, n = 2 ( i.e the duration of next year and the following year )

thus,

D1 = $10.18 × (1 + 0.06)²

D1 = $11.438

Therefore,

Price of stock one year from now = $\frac{\textup{D1}}{\textup{(r-g)}}$

= $\frac{\textup{11.438}}{\textup{0.12-0.06}}$

= 190.637 ≈ $190.64

A homeowner has a mortgage balance of $149,570.75. If the interest rate on the loan is 9.5% and the monthly payment is $1,303.55

nalin [4]

Answer:

Principal balance at the end of year 2 = 149,330.9079

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

We will use the following relationships:

Interest paid = Interest rate × loan balance

Principal paid = Monthly installment - Interest paid

Principal balance= loan balance - principal paid

Year 1

Interest paid = 9.5%/12 × 149,570.75 = 1,184.101

Principal paid in year 1 = 1,303.55 - 1,184.101 = 119.448

Principal balance = 149,570.75 - 119.448= 149,451.3018

Year 2

Interest paid = interest rate × loan balance in year 1 = 1183.156

Interest paid = 9.5%/12 × 149,451.3018 = 1183.156

Principal paid = 1,303.55 - 1183.156139 = 120.393

Principal balance at the end of year 2= Principal balance in year 1 - Principal paid in year 2

= 149,451.3018 - 120.393861 = 149330.9079

Principal balance at the end of year 2 = 149,330.90
