Answer:
b. An oral statement such as this is not enforceable because it is outside the Statute of Frauds.
Explanation:
The statute of frauds (SOF) is a legal concept that requires certain types of contracts to be executed in writing. Among others, these typically include those for the sale of land, of any goods over $500 in value, and contracts of a year or more in length.
The contracts that must adhere to the statutes of fraud are Collateral contracts in which a person promises to answer for the debt or duty of another, or guaranty contracts are required to be written. Prenuptial agreements and promises made in consideration of marriage must adhere to the statute of frauds.
Answer:
a. ROE (r) = 13% = 0.13
EPS = $3.60
Expected dividend (D1) = 50% x $3.60 = $1.80
Plowback ratio (b) = 50% = 0.50
Cost of equity (ke) = 12% = 0.12
Growth rate = r x b
Growth rate = 0.13 x 0.50 = 0.065
Po= D1/Ke-g
Po = $1.80/0.12-0.065
Po = $1.80/0.055
Po = $32.73
P/E ratio = <u>Current market price per share</u>
Earnings per share
P/E ratio = <u>$32.73</u>
$3.60
P/E ratio = 9.09
b. ER(S) = Rf + β(Rm - Rf)
ER(S) = 5 + 1.2(13 - 5)
ER(S) = 5 + 9.6
ER(S) = 14.6%
Explanation:
In the first part of the question, there is need to calculate the expected dividend, which is dividend pay-our ratio of 50% multiplied by earnings per share. We also need to calculate the growth rate, which is plowback ratio multiplied by ROE. Then, we will calculate the current market price, which equals expected dividend divided by the difference between return on stock (Ke) and growth rate. Finally, the price-earnings ratio is calculated as current market price per share divided by earnings per share.
In the second part of the question, Cost of equity (return on stock) is a function of risk-free rate plus beta multiplied by market risk-premium. Market risk premium is market return minus risk-free rate.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
As more consumers move in, the demand curve for the store's products would increase (shift to the right) as it is influenced by factors other than price.
While option A could be an eventual outcome, it would only follow an increase in Demand. Note that a change in price would result in movement along the curve.
There is not sufficient information to support Option C
Option D is wrong because higher demand would result in higher revenues, assuming all else remains constant.
