Answer:

Total return equals earnings multiplied by the dividend payout rate.

Explanation:

Total return is calculated as appreciation of price plus dividend paid, divided by the original price of the stock.

The income gained on a stock is the increase in its value along with dividend that is paid out. This is compared to the original price (denominator) to determine how much returns is realised on the stock.

Mathematically

Returns= {(New price- Old price) + Dividend} ÷ Old price

So the statement total return equals earnings multiplied by the dividend payout rate is false

You are planning to save for retirement over the next 25 years. To do this, you will invest $700 per month in a stock account an

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

withdraw each month is $6,902.37

Explanation:

given data

time = 25 year

invest = $700 per month

stock amount = $300 per month

expected rate = 9% = $\frac{0.09}{12}$

bond account = 5%

return = 6%

to find out

withdraw each month from account for 20 year withdrawal period

solution

we will apply here future value formula that is

FV = $P \frac{(1+r)^t -1}{r}$ ...............1

here P is principal amount i.e $700 given and r is are and t is time

The value of the stock account at retirement will be

value of the stock account = $700 \frac{(1+\frac{0.09}{12})^{25*12} -1}{\frac{0.09}{12}}$

value of the stock account = $784,785.36

and

value of the bond account at retirement will be

value of the bond account = $300 \frac{(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{25*12} -1}{\frac{0.05}{12}}$

value of the bond account = $178,652.91

and

so value of the two accounts combined is here

= $178,652.91+$784,785.36 = $963,438.27

monthly withdrawal from combined account is

amount = $\frac{Pv}{\frac{1- \frac{1}{(1+r)^t}}{r} }$ ...............2

amount = $\frac{963438.27}{\frac{1- \frac{1}{(1+\frac{0.06}{12})^{20*12}}}{\frac{0.06}{12}} }$

amount = $6,902.37

Answer:

The answer is D. problem-solution.

This is mainly because often, the main "problem" any firm has is that the media options they chose do not attract the potential customers or the market sector that they want. So identify specific problems of each client and addressing them separately in a unique way it the best way.

Just as important as having the internal post-project meetings within the project organization is having a post-project evaluati

Paul [167]

Answer:

Yes, If not more important than the internal post-project meetings.

Explanation:

The end of the execution phase of a project is not actually the completion of a project because there must be verification by both the executioner company and the customer or sponsor who awarded the project.

The verification of whether the execution of the project was done according to pre-execution standards set in the project planning phase in terms of 'project scope' 'project time' and 'project cost' will have to be done by the company as a way of self-assessment but ultimately by the sponsor. It is arguable that the sponsor is the stronger voice in the project execution assessment stage because 'he who pays the piper dictates the tune'.

The reasons why such post-project evaluation meeting with the customer is important is that:

1. Project Scope: The customer has to certify that the benefits to be delivered by the project are actually been delivered, which is the reason why the project was awarded in the first instance.

2. Project Time: The customer will have to agree that the project has been carried out within the agreed time-frame, and there will be no penalties for delay in execution of the project. Penalties for time-delay in project execution could carry significant consequences as the customer could trigger the liquidated damages clause in the contract.

Project Cost: Another point of consideration is whether or not the project has been done within budget.

All of these considerations have to be made between both parties before a successful project handover.
