Answer:

8

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The market capitalization rate on the stock = 14%

Expected ROE = 15%

Expected EPS = $56

Firm's plowback ratio = 60%

Based on the above information

The computation of the P/E ratio is shown below

But before that, we need to do the following calculations

As we know that

Payout ratio = (1 - plowback ratio )

= (1 - 0.6 )

= 0.4

Now

Growth rate = ROE × Retention ratio

=  0.15 × 0.60

= 9%

And,

Dividend for next period i.e D1 is

= EPS × Payout ratio

= $6 × 0.4

= $2 .4

So,

Current price = D1 ÷ ( Market capitalization rate - Growth rate )

= $2.4 ÷ ( 0.14 - 0.09 )

= $48

And, finally

P/E ratio is

= (Current price) ÷ (EPS)

= $48 ÷ $6

= 8

prohojiy [21]

<em>B. demand for Apple computers decreases.</em>

Explanation:

If two things are substitute of each and other, that generally in simple words means either this or this. As we can see in the statements that has been provided in the question that Dell and Apple computers are substitute of each other, <em>so if the amount from Dell computer decreases then the demand of the computers made by Apple company will absolutely decrease. </em>
