Answer: Current Price $26.65

Explanation:

Rate of return = 12.5%

dividends = $1.98

Expected Price (in a year from now) Pe= $28

Current price = Pc

R = (Pe - Pc + D)/Pa

0.1250 = (28 - Pc + 1.98)/Pc

28 - Pc + 1.98 = 0.1250Pc

-Pc - 0.1250Pc = - 28 - 1.98

- 1.125Pc = -29.98

 Pc = -29.98/(-1.1250Pc) = 26.64888889

 Pc = $ 26.65

RideAnS [48]

Managers, for instance, have personal power because they control your pay, your work assignments, your hiring and firing, and yo
daser333 [38]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Managers exercise legitimate and coercive power. Their power is legitimate since it is lawful owing to the job position and their tasks and duties. It is coercive since it induces the subordinates to perform their tasks in a certain way and at times subject them to performance pressure so as they work efficiently.

Experts and referent represent personal or individual power possessed by an individual, independent of the job position he/she occupies. These may arise more out of an individual's own knowledge and information one possesses or on account of personal traits and do not represent a power which has been delegated.

Such powers may collide when an individual is promoted and when required to manage those, who were earlier his/her colleagues.

The current equilibrium price and quantity in the market for walnuts are $5 per pound with 10,000 pounds supplied. Supermarkets
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial Quantity supplied = 10,000

New quantity supplied = 15,000

Initial price = $5

Price elasticity of demand = 1.8

Percentage change in quantity supplied:

= [(New quantity supplied - Initial Quantity supplied) ÷ Initial Quantity supplied] × 100

= [(15,000 - 10,000) ÷ 10,000] × 100

= (5,000 ÷ 10,000) × 100

= 50%

Let the new price be x,

Percentage change in price:

= [(New price - Initial price) ÷ Initial price] × 100

= [(x - $5) ÷ $5] × 100

= (x - 5) × 20

= 20x - 100

Therefore,

Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ Percentage change in price

1.8 = 50 ÷ (20x - 100)

1.8 (20x - 100) = 50

36x - 180 = 50

36x = 230

x = 5

Hence, the new price per pound of walnuts is $5.
