Answer: 9%

Explanation:

The required rate of return is basically how much an investor is expecting in return for his investment.

The formula for price of stock is =

P = Do(1+g)/rs - g

P = price of stock

Do = dividend

g = growth

rs = required rate of return

We need to find out rs, therefore,

32.03 = 1.22(1+5%)/rs- 5% = 9%

Evaluate this statement: "If the yield of two bonds having equal maturity changes the same amount, the price of the lower coupon
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

As the lower coupon means there is less amount of cash subject to variation of interest rate.

We must understand that in the end of the life of a bond(maturity), the value should always match the face value thus, the difference in bond market price arise from coupon payment.

If a bonds coupon payment is 40 dollars while another bond coupon payment  is 80 dollars the present value of the second will be more influenced from the interest rate as there are more dollars in the future to discount.

Gouda Company and Cheddar Company had the same sales, total costs, and income from operations for the current fiscal year; yet G
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

If both companies have the sames sales volume, total costs and income from operations, the reason why Gouda has a lower break even point is that their variable costs are lower. We use the contribution margin per unit to calculate the break even point and the contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs. The question states that total costs are equal, but it doesn't say anything about variable or fixed costs.

Assuming that Gouda is above break even point, each sale will generate a higher operating profit since the contribution margin is higher.

What statement about minimum payments is incorrect
Oksana_A [137]

"If you send in the minimum payment, you will be charged a late fee."

This is an INCORRECT statement, because  you will not be charged a late fee just for making the minimum payment. Minimum payments are not a good idea because you will be charged interest on the remaining amount and will have a harder time paying off the balance, but you will not be charged a late fee.

---ways people obtain their wants with limited resources

Explanation:

Economics studies how the society  (government and businesses)use these scarce resources to satisfy or meet its unlimited wants by  providing variety of goods and services from the scarce resources  so that people can have choices  to choose from in satisfying their limitless wants in order of preferences.
