Answer:
Expected stock Return = 16%
Explanation:
The return of a stock is calculated by subtracting ending stock price to ending stock price and add adding and income distributions made during the period and divide by the stock price at beginning
Current stock price = $100
Expected stock price = $110
Dividends = $6
So in Snoke Inc's the only income distributions are dividends
Return = Ending stock price - Current stock price + dividends/Current stock price
=110-100+6/100
=0.16/16%

The statement, 'lower interest rates are part of tight money policy' is false.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Tight monetary policy which is also known as contractionary monetary policy is undertaken by Federal Reserve to reduce the economic growth that is overheated and to curb fast increasing inflation rate. Here the policy increases the interest rates thereby reducing the borrowing in the economy.
So, the true statement would be 'lowering the interest rates stimulates the borrowing in the economy and it is a part of the expansionary or loose monetary policy'.
