Answer:

D. The constant growth model cannot be used for a zero growth stock, where the dividend is expected to remain constant over time.

Explanation:

So, we evaluate each option.

a. We discount the dividends by the required rate of return. So incorrect.

b. The dividend yield is annual dividend per share divided by stick price per share. the 5% is the growth in dividend and not the actual dividend itself. So, incorrect.

c. The constant growth is appropriate for companies whose dividend patterns are stable. Startups have multiple stage growths and this option becomes incorrect as constant growth is not applicable.

d. A zero growth stock is one where dividend remains the same. So when there is no growth in dividend, the constant growth model becomes inapplicable. So, the statement is correct.

So, here we have our correct statement and all others are incorrect.

Television channel operating profits vary from as high as 45 to 55 percent at MTV and Nickelodeon down to 12 to 18 percent at NB

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

MTV and cable channels can have higher operating profits largely because they have lower costs and can reach very specific demographic groups quite easily. MTV and Nickleodeon are typically not paying high and uncertain prices for their shows. They air mainly reruns of proven shows or relatively low-cost reality shows. This means that they have more cost certainty.

In addition, they have very clear target audiences where the networks do not. MTV is clearly aimed at teens and young adults while Nickleodeon is a kids' channel. Advertisers are attracted to channels with such clear demographics.

As far as Porter's five forces go, the most likely reason for the higher cable profits would have to do with brand equity and the lower propensity among buyers to substitute.

These would mean that cable channels have a lower threat of new competition and a lower threat of substitute products. It is true that it is easy for a new cable channel to be created, but it is much harder for such a channel to get the name recognition and brand equity that MTV and Nickleodeon have.

Scenario : The average total cost to produce 100 cookies is $0.25 per cookie. The marginal cost is constant at $0.10 for all

nika2105 [10]

Answer: D. $20

Explanation:

Total cost to produce 50 cookies = Total cost to produce 100 cookies - Marginal cost to produce 50 cookies

Total cost to produce 100 cookies is:

= Average total cost * number of cookies

= 0.25 * 100

= $25

Marginal cost to produce 50 cookies is:

= Constant marginal cost * number of cookies

= 0.10 * 5

= $5.00

Total cost to produce 50 cookies = 25 - 5

= $20.00
