2) The correct answer is letter "B": is considered unsold inventory and counted as a part of investment in current GDP.
Explanation:
1) The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) considers four (4) components: <em>Consumption, Investment, Government, </em>and <em>Net Exports</em> (exports-imports). Investments refer to all goods that are purchased to produce other goods in the future. Final goods to be used or to replace others do not fall into this category.
2) The output of a company is computed within the GDP. Even if the output is not sold after production but it is recorded as part of an organization's inventory, it will be considered in the calculation of the GDP of the year when the production of the good took place.
Answer:
The cost of equity using the DCF method: 4.39%.
The cost of equity using the SML method: 15.01%.
Explanation:
a. The cost of equity using the DCF method:
We have: Current stock price = Next year dividend payment / ( Cost of equity - Growth rate) <=> Cost of equity = Next year dividend payment/Current stock price + Growth rate = 0.3 x 1.04/80 + 4% = 4.39%.
b. The cost of equity using the SML method:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta x ( Market return - risk free rate); in which Risk free rate is rate on T-bill.
=> Cost of equity = 6.3% + 1.3 x ( 13% -6.3%) = 15.01%.
