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

Andre45 [30]

Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.

Explanation:

The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.

This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.

In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

c. 2.50 years

Explanation:

In the payback, we analyze in how many years the invested amount is recovered. The computation is shown below:

In year 0 = $500

In year 1 = $150

In year 2 = $200

In year 3 = $300

If we sum the first 2 year cash inflows than it would be $350

Now we deduct the $350 from the $500 , so the amount would be $150 as if we added the fourth year cash inflow so the total amount exceed to the initial investment. So, we deduct it

And, the next year cash inflow is $300

So, the payback period equal to

= 2 years + ($150 ÷ $300)

= 2.50 years

In 2.50 yeas, the invested amount is recovered.
