Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Rational economic decision is the process where the costs as well as the benefits of the various options are being compared in order to determine or evaluate the which option is rational.

Hughes Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 22 percent for the next three years, with the growth
Oksana_A [137]

Answer: $53.94

Explanation:

Current share price is the present value of the dividends for the next 3 years and the terminal value in year 3.

Terminal value = D₄ / ( required return - growth rate)

= (2.35 * 1.22³ * 1.05) / (12 % - 5%)

= $64

D₁ = 2.35 * 1.22 = $2.867

D₂ = 2.867 * 1.22 = $‭3.49774‬

D₃ = ‭3.49774‬ * 1.22 = $‭4.2672428‬

Share price = (2.867 / (1 + 12%)) + (‭3.49774‬ / 1.12²) + (‭4.2672428‬ / 1.12³) + (64/1.12³)

= $53.94

lesantik [10]

Answer:

Total E&P = $ 160000

Total voting Right Sold = 50/ (100+100) = 25%

Reduction of E& P due to exchange = Total E&P*Total voting Right Sold

Reduction of E& P due to exchange = 160000*25%

Reduction of E& P due to exchange = 40000

Reduction of E& P Lower of Total E&P*Total voting Right Sold or Amount realised

Reduction of E& P Lower of 40000 or (50*1000)

Reduction of E& P Lower of 40000 or 50000

Answer

A reduction of $40,000 in E&P because of the exchange.

Suppose that during the past year, the price of a laptop computer rose from $2,750 to $2,880. During the same time period, consu
icang [17]

Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}

Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}

Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}

Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.

In a discussion of economics, which of the following would exert the most influence on an individual firm's decision to hire wor
9966 [12]

Answer:

(B) the macroeconomy

Explanation:

The condition of the macroeconomy would exert the most influence of a firm's decision to hire more workers. As economic growth increases and demand grows, the firm is likely to hire more workers to meet increasing demand for its goods. On the other hand, in an economic recession, the firm is likely to hire less and even lay off its existing workers as demand for its goods reduces.

Option A is incorrect as a firm would not hire more workers even at low wage levels if the economy is in a recession. Option C is incorrect as the level of a firm's income would likely not be considered in its hiring decision if demand for its goods was very high. Option D is incorrect as the household income would likely not be considered by the firm in its hiring decision.
