Answer: 6.42%

Explanation:

To calculate this, we use the formula for the Dividend Discount Model/ Gordon Growth Formula as follows:

P = D1/(r - g)

Where,

P = current stock price

D1 = Next dividend

r = required return

g = growth rate

We can make r the subject of the equation by,

P = D1/(r - g)

P(r - g) = D1

r - g = D1/P

r = D1/P + g

Calculating therefore we have,

r = 2.65/43.15 + 0.045

= 0.06417728852

= 6.42%

6.42% is the required return.

At an output level of 58,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 1.6. The output rises to 63,000 units
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Change in Operating Cash Flow  = 13.79 %

Explanation:

given data

output level = 58,000 units

degree of operating leverage = 1.6

output rises = 63,000 units

solution

we get here percentage change in operating cash flow for that

Percentage Change in Output we get

Percentage Change in Output = ( output rises - output level ) ÷ output level   .........1

Percentage Change in Output  = \frac{63000-58000}{58000}  

Percentage Change in Output   =  0.08620689655  

so here Change in Operating Cash Flow will be as

Change in Operating Cash Flow = Percentage Change in Output × degree of operating leverage ............2

Change in Operating Cash Flow  = 0.08620689655    × 1.6

Change in Operating Cash Flow  = 13.79 %

At the profit-maximizing level of output, the amount by which the firm can mark up price is: Group of answer choices directly re
dem82 [27]

Answer:

inversely related to the price elasticity of demand for item in question.

Explanation:

Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services. Thus, it refers to the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered. Also, the price of goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider.

Generally, all businesses and entrepreneurship go into the business of buying and selling or providing services to service takers (consumers) for the sole purpose of making profit and maximizing the profits over time.

At the profit-maximizing level of output, the amount by which a business firm can mark up price is inversely related or proportional to the price elasticity of demand for the item (product) in question. Thus, the amount by which a business firm can mark up price increases as the price elasticity of demand for a item (product) decreases and vice-versa.

A price elasticity of demand can be defined as a measure of the responsiveness of the quantity of a product demanded with respect to a change in price of the product, all things being equal.

Also, a mark-up price is simply the difference between the cost price of a good (product) or service and its selling price.
