Answer: George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately 41.2% George's desired markup is 45% Since George's initial markup, or actual margin, was Less than his desired margin, raising the price was profitable

Explanation:

a) Price Elasticity of Demand = [(Q1-Q2)/(Q1+Q2)] / [(P1-P2)/(P1+P2)]

= 5000- 4000/4000+ 5000) /  8.50- 9.50 /8.50 ₊9.50 =

1000/8000 / -1/ 18 = 0.125/-0.055  = -2.2

George's initial price markup over marginal cost was approximately

when Marginal cost = $5

b)initial price markup  = Price - marginal cost / price = 8.50 - 5.00/ 8.50 =   0.412=  41.2%

C) George's  desired margin = 1/absolute value of price elasticity = 1/ 2.2= 0.45= 45%

.

D)Since George's initial markup or actual margin was less  than his desired margin, raising the price is profitable.

This is because When the  markup is lower than the margin,  business is running on a loss, so it is nessesary to increase price.

Rose Hill Trading Company is expected to have EPS in the upcoming year of $6. The expected ROE is 18%. An appropriate required r
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

We know the company's ROE and plowback ratio, and we can use these 2 figures to find out the future growth rate of the company. In order to do this we need to multiply the ROE by plowback ratio.

0.18*0.7=0.126= 12.6%

We can also find the company's dividend, by (1- plowback ratio) we get how much percentage of the earning is the company distributing as dividends.

(1-0.7)= 0.3 which is the dividend payout ratio

Dividend= Dividend payout ratio *EPS

0.3*6=1.8

This dividend is the dividend which the company will pay in the upcoming year after which they will have a constant growth rate, so in order to find the intrinisc value now, we need to find the intrinsic value of the stock will be in the upcoming year using the upcoming years dividend and then discount that value by the required return of the stock to get the current years intrinsic value.

Now we can use the DDM formula to find the intrinsic value of the stock in the upcoming year.

The formula for DDM is D*(1+G)/(R-G)

D= 1.8

G= 0.126

R=0.14

1.8*(1+G)/0.14-0.126

=144.77

Discount it to find the present value

144.77/1.14

=128.5

The intrinsic value of the stock should be 128.5

Sauron [17]

Answer: Vroom and Yetton's normative decision model.

Explanation:

The Vroom–Yetton normative decision model is a situational leadership theory of industrial and organizational psychology that was developed by Victor Vroom, in collaboration with Phillip Yetton and later with Arthur Jago. The situational theory argues the best style of leadership is contingent to the situation.

Regarding decision making, the Vroom-Yetton model suggests that being autocratic, seeking advice, considering alternative approaches before a decision is made, informing a group on an issue, and letting that group develop the solution without forcing your own ideas are all important at times.
