Answer:

(1) return it with a full gas tank

Explanation:

To find the best choice you have to evaluate each alternative. First, you need to find the amount of gallons you would use if you drive 150 miles:

1 gallon →  25 miles

      x     →  150 miles

x=(150*1)/25=6 gallons

(1) return it with a full gas tank:

local price for gasoline: $3.30/gallon

$3.30*6=$19.8

(2) return it without filling it and pay $5.20/gallon

$5.20*6=$31.2

According to this, return it with a full gas tank would cost $19.8, return it without filling it would cost $31.2 and the other option would be to accept a fixed price of $55 for gas. Considering this information, the choice that you should make if you expect to drive 150 miles is return it with a full gas tank because it is the cheapest option.

What is the price of a stock today if it pays a Dividend TODAY of $2. Its growth rate is 5%, and its market return is 12%?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

$30.00

The price of the stock can be derived from the stock theoretical price formula given and explained below:

stock price=expected dividend/(market return-growth rate)

expected dividend=dividend paid today*(1+growth rate)

expected dividend=$2*(1+5%)

expected dividend=$2.10

market rate of return=12%

growth rate=5%

stock price=$2.10/(12%-5%)

stock price=$2.10/7%

stock price=$30.00

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Explanation:

If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that  the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.

However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.

In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009
