Answer:

C. All else being equal, the growth rate of the dividends is greater than 2%

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the fair price of a stock with a constant growth in dividends is as follows,

  • P = D1 / r-g
  • Where D1 is the dividend next period
  • r is the required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends
  • P = 1.5 / 0.1 - 0.02 = 18.75
  • We are taking 1.5 as D1 as it is the dividend per share DeepMind will pay next year.

So, we will be willing to pay more than 18.75 if the fair price per share today is greater than 18.75. We check all the 3 options.

A. say the required rate is 10.1%

  • P = 1.5 / (0.101 - 0.02) = 18.52
  • So if the required rate of return increases from 10%, the fair price per share is falling and we will be willing to pay less than 18.75 per share.

B. P = 1.2 / (0.1 - 0.02) = 15

  • If D1 = 1.2,the fair price per share will be 15 which is less so we will not be willing to pay more than 15 for such share.

C. Say the growth rate in dividends is 2.1%

  • P = 1.5 / (0.1 - 0.021) = 18.99
  • The fair price per share increased to 18.99 if the growth rate in dividend increases by 0.1 percentage point. Thus, C is the correct answer

Desmond told his two friends, Marley and Brianna, that he was awarded a $10,000 grant for college if he becomes a math or scienc
olga55 [171]
<span>A. Marley is correct because a grant is like a gift and he can still get scholarships or loans to pay for the rest of his expenses.
        There are three major ways of obtaining money to pay for advanced education. Loans, grants, and scholarships. As the name implies, a loan is the borrowing of money with the expectation that the loaned money will be paid back at a later date with accumulated interest. Grants are what you can consider to be a "gift with an obligation" where if you fail to uphold the obligation, the grant gets converted into a loan that you need to pay off. And finally, scholarships are straight out gifts that you don't need to pay back. So the grant offer to Desmond is for his becoming a math or science teacher for a some period of time. Since he wants to teach physics, this grant would be ideal for him. So let's look at the options and see what does and does not make sense. A. Marley is correct because a grant is like a gift and he can still get scholarships or loans to pay for the rest of his expenses. * This is exactly correct and therefore the correct answer. B. Marley is correct because he can take the grant and then study whatever he chooses without paying it back if he changes his mind about his career. * NO. If Desmond decides to not become a math or physic teacher, the grant suddenly converts into a loan that must be paid off. C. Brianna is correct because he cannot get scholarships if he takes the grant and scholarships would pay more of his education costs. * The acceptance of a grant doesn't prohibit getting scholarships. So this choice is false and therefore wrong. D. Brianna is correct because grants are like loans and must be paid back. He should wait and see what scholarships and work-study programs he qualifies for. * Grants don't need to be paid back if the receiver honors their service commitment. So this choice is also false and therefore wrong.</span>

You are the CEO of a company that has to choose between making a $100 million investment in either Russia or Poland. Both invest
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer: When assessing the risks of investment, one should consider the political, economic, and legal risks of doing business in either Russia or Poland. The risk in Russia would probably be considered higher than the risk in Poland since Poland has been a member state of the European Union since 1 May 2004, with the Treaty of Accession 2003 signed on 16 April 2003 in Athens as the legal basis for Poland's accession to the EU.

Poland has already gained benefits and stability offered by the EU. Russia, by contrast, is still many years away from even being in a position to be considered by the EU for membership.

Explanation: A diligent investor wouldn't put a penny in a risky country.
