Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Inflation is when there's a general increase in the price level in an economy. To tackle inflation, the Fed can increase the interest rate as this will discourage people or firms from borrowing and hence there'll be a reduction in the money supply.
Also, the Fed can sell bond to the public, thereby taking in the cash in the economy and reducing the money supply thus reducing inflation. Lastly, the Fed can also increase the reserve ratio for banks. When this is done, there'll be lesser money available in the economy.
Answer:
Every business has a moral duty to be a good corporate citizen.
Explanation:
Businesses are formed to make profit, and this is the primary goal of businesses. So when making a business case for a company to act in a socially responsible manner, the benefit to the business as profits is the primary consideration.
If it is argued that every business has a moral duty to be a good corporate citizen, it does not translate to profits or benefit for the company.
So this is a weak argument when a business case is being created for why businesses should act in a socially responsible manner.

Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.7%
Explanation:
<em>We will work out the required rate of return using the the dividend valuation model. The model states that the value of a stock is the present value of the future divided discounted at the cost of equity.
</em>
The model is given below:
P = D× (1+g)/(r-g)
P- price of stock, D- dividend payable now, g- growth rate in dividend, r- cost of equity
So we substitute
130 = 5.50× (1+r)/(r-0.06)
cross multiplying
(r-0.06)× 130 = 5.50 × (1+r)
130 r- 7.8 = 5.50 + 5.50r
collecting like terms
130 r - 5.50r=5.50 + 7.8
124.5 r= 13.3
Divide both sides by 124.5
r =13.3 /124.5= 0.1068
r=0.1068 × 100= 10.7%
Cost of equity = 10.7%
