Answer:
Inflationary Pressure
Explanation:
Inflationary pressures are the underlying causes of inflation. These pressures are the reason that the production of goods increases to meet or exceed consumer demand or that prices increase due to lack of supply. Inflationary pressures cause the economy to adjust as a result of supply and demand.

None of the projects should be accepted because they have negative NPV
Explanation:
The question requires the computation of NPV using 0% and 9%.
The cashflows of the two projects will be discounted at 0% and 9%.
The discount factors for each project can be calculated using the formula (1+r)-n. The cashflows of the projects will be multiplied by the discount factors to obtain the present values. NPV is the difference between present values of cash inflows and initial outlay.
Answer:
$190.64
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Current selling price of shares = $180 per share
Dividend paid = $10.18
Expected growth rate, g = 6% = 0.06
Required rate of return, r = 12% = 0.12
Now,
The dividend for the following year to the next year, D1 = $10.18 × (1 + g)ⁿ
here, n = 2 ( i.e the duration of next year and the following year )
thus,
D1 = $10.18 × (1 + 0.06)²
or
D1 = $11.438
Therefore,
Price of stock one year from now = 
= 
= 190.637 ≈ $190.64
Answer:
B. 1.291%
Explanation:
The computation of the standard deviation is shown below;
= 2000 + 2001 + 2002 + 2003
= 0.5 × 14% + 0.5 × 16% + 0.5 × 15% + 0.5 × 17% + 0.5 × 16% + 0.5 × 18% + 0.5 × 17% + 0.5 × 19%
= 15% + 16% + 17% + 18%
= stdev( 15% + 16% + 17% + 18%)
= 1.291%
Hence, the correct option is b.
