Answer:

the new earnings per share will be 231 cents

Explanation:

Earnings per share is Earnings attributable to each Common Share.

Earnings Per Share = Earnings attributable to Holders of Common Stock/ Weighted Average Number of Common Shares

                                = $1,575 million/ (700 million-250/10000×700 million)

                                = $1,575 million/(700 million-17,2 million)

                                = 231 cents

Answer:

Earnings per share is $2.31

Explanation:

value of one share=$10,000 million/700 million=$14.29

25% of excess cash =25%*$1000 million=$250 million

Number of shares repurchased=$250 million/$14.29=17.5 million

Outstanding shares after share repurchase=700 million-17.5 million

                                                                       =682.5 million

Earnings per share =earnings attributable to common stock/number of common stock

earnings stands at $1,575 million

number of common stock 682.5 million

Earnings per share=1,575 million/682.5 million

Earnings per share=$2.31 or 231 cents

The new earnings per share is $2.31 or 231 cents as shown in the step by step analysis above.

You hear on the news that the​ S&P 500 was down 2.6 % today relative to the​ risk-free rate​ (the market's excess return was
Paul [167]

Answer:

a.

Excess return for Zynga today will be -3.38%

b.

Excess return on P&G today will be -1.04%

Explanation:

The excess return is the return earned above/beyond the benchmark return. This benchmark can be set at either the risk free rate or any other stock or portfolio's return.

The return on a stock is usually calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM considers risk free rate, the return on market and the stock's beta to calculate the expected return on a stock.

The market always has a beta of 1. Beta is the measure of the volatility of stock returns. If the excess return on the market falls or rises, the effect of this on a stock's excess return will be based on its beta.

a.

The excess return of Zynga today will be =  -2.6% * 1.3   = -3.38%

b.

The excess return of P&G today will be =  -2.6% * 0.4   = -1.04%

Maria is a hard-working college sophomore. One Sunday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 100 practice problems
sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

i. The marginal, or additional, gain from Maria’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is <u>  40  </u> problems.

ii. The marginal gain from Maria’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is <u>   20   </u> problems

iii. 2 hours working on problems, 2 hours reading (c)

Explanation:

i. The marginal gain from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM is calculated thus:

work done at 8:00 AM = 0 problems

Work done at 9:00 AM = 40 problems

Marginal gain = (Work done at 9:00 AM) - (work done at 8:00) = 40 - 0 = 40 problems

ii. work done at 10:00 AM = 70 problems

work done at 11:00 AM = 90 problems

Marginal gain = 90 - 70 = 20 problems

iii. To get the best exam score, the most number of problems possible in total must be answered within the 4-hour period, and this is determined as follows:

we are told that Maria gets tired as time progresses and the number of questions answered reduces we notice the following numbers of questions answered in each hour:

8:00 AM to 9:00 AM = 40 - 0 = 40 problems (hour 1)

9:00 AM to 10:00 AM = 70 - 40 = 30 problems (hour 2)

10:00 AM to 11:00 AM = 90 - 70 = 20 problems (hour 3)

11:00 AM to Noon = 100 - 90 = 10 problems (hour 4)

Also, we are told that;

1 hour of reading = 25 problems

Comparing the reading and solving problems, we see that the number of problems solved in hour-1 and hour-2  (40 and 30 respectively) are more than the equivalent number of problems solved in reading for 1 hour, while hour-3 and hour-4 (20 and 10 respectively), have lesser equivalent number of problems each, than reading for one hour. Therefore to make the most out of the 4 hours, Maria will spend the first 2 hours solving problems and the next two hours reading, giving a total of: 40 + 30 + 25 + 25 = 120 problems solved.

true or false? because trade raises the amount that an economy can produce by letting firms and workers play to their comparativ
Murrr4er [49]

False. As trade will also cause the average level of wages in an economy to rise and not fall.

<h3>The relationship between free trade and wages</h3>

Free trade results in an increase in all factor incomes, including wages, interest rates, profits, and rents, which raises GDP and makes more money available for company investment, which boosts global trade.

Trade will increase the average pay level in an economy because it increases the amount that an economy can produce by allowing businesses and workers to take use of their comparative advantages.

Therefore, employers will value employees who can create more, which will cause the demand for their labor to move to the right and raise earnings in the labor market. Contrarily, trade restrictions will cause an economy's average pay level to decline.
