Answer: Option A

Explanation: In simple words, substitution effect refers to the economic phenomenon which states that when price of one good rises the demand for the alternative of that particular good also rises. For example - coke and pepsi.

On the other hand, income effect states that when the price of a commodity rises, a number of consumers might find it hard to purchase due to the price exceeding their income power which further results in lower demand.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is A.

Joker stock has a sustainable growth rate of 7 percent, ROE of 10 percent, and dividends per share of $1.20. If the P/E ratio is

belka [17]

Answer:

P/E ratio = Market price per share

Earnings per share

15 = Market price per share

Market price per share = 15 x $4 = $60

Growth rate = Retention rate x ROE

0.07 = Retention rate x 0.10

0.07 = Retention rate

0.10

Retention rate = 0.7 = 70%

Dividend pay-out ratio = 100% - 70%

Dividend pay-out ratio = 30%

Earnings per share = 100/30 x $1.20 = $4

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the formula of price-earnings ratio, which is market price per share divided by earnings per share. The P/E ratio was given while the earnings per share is derived. The market price per share becomes the subject of the formula.

In order to determine the earnings per share, we need to obtain the retention ratio by applying the formula of growth rate. In this case, growth rate and ROE were provided in the question with the exception of retention rate. Thus, the retention rate is made the subject of the formula. Having obtained the retention rate, we will now obtain the dividend payout ratio which is 100% minus retention rate.

Then, we will obtain the earnings per share by dividing 100 by the pay-out ratio multiplied by the dividend per share.

rosijanka [135]

Answer: a). Firm's growth rate = 10.5%

b). Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00

Explanation: Earnings growth rate is the percentage change in earnings given specific variables.

The firm's earnings growth rate g = Return on equity (ROE) × Retained earnings (b) = 0.15(0.70)

g =0.105 or 10.5%

In finding next year's earnings, we multiply the current earnings times one plus the growth rate.

Next year's earnings = Current earnings(1 + g)

Next year's earnings = 28,000,000(1 + 0.105)

Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00

What is the inventory turnover ratio for ABC Corp. if cost of goods sold equals $5,000, current ratio equals 3, quick ratio equa

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Inventory turnover= 5.5 times

Explanation:

Current ratio is given as 3

Cost of goods sold = $5,000

Current assets = $1,800

Quick ratio= 1.5

Current ratio= current assets/ current liabilities

3= 1,800/ current liabilities

Current liabilities= 1,800/3

Current liabilities= $600

Quick ratio= Cash and Receivables/ Current liabilities

1.5= Cash and Receivables/600

Cash and Receivables= 600* 1.5= $900

Current asset= Cash and Receivables + Inventory

1,800= 900+ Inventory

Inventory= 1,800-900

Inventory= $900

Inventory turnover= Cost of goods sold/ Inventory

Inventory turnover= 5,000/900

Inventory turnover= 5.5 times
