Part a) The Cob Douglas production function is given as:

Q(K,L)=AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } .

To show that this function is homogeneous with degree 3, we introduce be a parameter, t.

Q(tK,tL)=A(tK)^{1.4} (tL)^ {1.6 } .

Using properties of exponents, we on tinder:

Q(tK,tL)=At^{1.4}K^{1.4} t^ {1.6 }L^ {1.6 } .

This implies that:

Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4} \times t^ {1.6 }(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Q(tK,tL)=t^{1.4 + 1.6}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Simplify the exponent of t to get;

Q(tK,tL)=t^{3}(AK^{1.4} L^ {1.6 } )

Hence the function is homogeneous with degree, 3

Part b) To verify Euler's Theorem, we must show that:

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L}=3AK^{1.4}L^{1.6}

Verifying from the left:

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =K(1.4AK^{0.4} L^{1.6}) + L(1.6AK^{1.4} L^{0.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =1.4(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6}) + 1.6(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =(1.4 +  1.6)(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

K\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: K}+L\frac{\partial Q}{\partial \: L} =3(AK^{1.4} L^{1.6})

The company ABC just paid $2 dividend per share, which will grow at 15% for the next three dividends. Afterwards, the dividends
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

P0 = $137.2988907 rounded off to $137.30

Explanation:

The two stage growth model of DDM will be used to calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r)  +  D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2  +  ...  +  D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n  +   [(D0 * (1+g1)^n  *  (1+g2) /  (r - g2))  /  (1+r)^n]

Where,

  • g1 is the initial growth rate
  • g2 is the constant growth rate
  • D0 is the dividend paid today or most recently
  • r is the required rate of return

P0 = 2 * (1+0.15) / (1+0.07)  +  2 * (1+0.15)^2 / (1+0.07)^2  +

2 * (1+0.15)^3 / (1+0.07)^3  +  

[(2 * (1+0.15)^3 * (1+0.05) / (0.07 - 0.05))  /  (1+0.07)^3]

P0 = $137.2988907 rounded off to $137.30

What is the main difference between a stock and a bond?
baherus [9]

A bond is a debt instrument. The company or government issuing it borrows your money and pays you a fixed amount of money for the use of the loan you have made available to the company or government. The selling price is usually what the face value of the bond is, but this can vary according to interest rates determined by the Federal Reserve.

A stock is ownership. You own a fraction of the company you've invested in. Sometimes a company pays a dividend. That means that the company has excess funds and decides to pay its shareholders a fraction of what the company brings in.  When you buy a stock, you expect to sell it at a higher price than what you bought it at. That's called a capital gain. It's another source of income.
