Answer:                   Ke = 8% = 0.08  

                              ROE = 10% = 0.10

             Expected EPS = $6

      Plowback rate ( b)  = 40% = 0.40

 Dividend per share (D) =  60%x $6 = $3.60

                                   Po =  D(1+g )/ke-g              

                                   Po = $3.6(1+0.04)/0.08-0.04

                                   Po = $3.744/0.04

                                   Po = $93.60

The current market price is $93.60

The price-earnings ratio = market price per share/Earnings per share

                                          = $93.6/$6

                                           = 15.6

The correct answer is C

Explanation: The price-earnings ratio is the ratio of market  price per share to earnings per share. In this scenario, it is important to obtain the market price per share using the above formula. Thereafter, the market price per share is divided by the earnings per share. There is need to calculate the dividend per share based on the retention rate of 40%. since the retention rate is 40%, the dividend pay-out rate will be 60%. Thus, dividend is 60% of the expected earnings per share. The estimation of growth rate (g) is based on Gordon's growth model, which is g = r x b. r represents return on equity while b denotes the plowback(retention rate).

Other things being equal, an increase in the number of sellers of a good will _____ for that good.
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": decrease equilibrium price and increase equilibrium quantity .

According to the demand law, if the quantity demanded goes up, the price is likely to decrease, so, the equilibrium price will be lower.

Thus, <em>the increase in sellers will raise the equilibrium quantity decreasing the equilibrium price.</em>
