Answer:

Option E is correct. Pay out ratio is 73.74 %

Explanation:

Payout ratio shows how much portion of the net earning the company pay to its shareholders in form of cash dividend. Higher pay out ratio implies that company pay large portion of its earning to shareholder.

Mathematically, pay out ratio is = 1 - Retention Ratio ------ (a)

Retention ration shows portion of the earning that the company has retained for future investment or operation or growth.

Given data

Growth rate = 5 % or 0.05

Debt to equity ratio = 0.55

Assets turn over = 1.30

Profit Margin = 9 % or 0.09

Retention ration can be calculated from sustainable growth ratio formula.

Sustainable growth rate = Retention ratio x Return on equity

Sustainable growth rate means the growth rate that the company wants to maintain in future.

Retention ratio = Sustainable growth rate / Return on equity ---- (b)

Return on equity is not given the question but it can be calculated from Du Pont equation.

According to Du Pont equation,

Return on Equity = Profit Margin x Assets Turn Over x Financial leverage

Return on Equity = 0.09 x 1.30 x ( 1 + 0.55) = 0.18135

Let r be retention ratio, Then

Sustainable growth rate = (0.18135 x r)/ ( 1- (0.18135 x r))

0.05 = (0.18135 x r)/ ( 1- (0.18135 x r))

r = 0.2626 = Retention ratio

Putting the value of retention ratio in equation (a)

Payout ratio = 1 - Retention ratio = 1 - 0.2626 = 0.7374 or 73.74 %.

Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded
PIT_PIT [208]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question

Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40? A) drops by 10,000 DVRs B) increases by 16,000 DVRs C) drops by 2,500 DVRs D) increases by 4,000

Answer:

Drops by 10,000 DVRs

Explanation:

The demand for digital video recorders is expressed by

Q= 250- .25p+4pc

Where

Q represents the quantity demanded by the customers

P represents the price of DVR

pc represents the price of cable television

Since the factor of p in the expression above is negative, this implies that the quantity of DVR demanded in the market will reduce

If the price of DVR increase by $40, then the quantity demanded will reduce by

= 0.25×40×1000

= 10×1000

= 10,000 units

Hence the quantity of DVRs drops by 10,000 DVRs if the price is increased to $40

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economic space for a certain period, usually one year, excluding the intermediate consumption used in production. Until the 1980's, the use of Gross National Product (GNP) was preferred, a measure almost identical to GDP but incorporating goods and services produced by external factors. The variation in this macroeconomic magnitude is often used to measure economic growth.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

An investment that "promises" a 44 percent annual return is most likely a scam, because even the riskiest stocks rarely yield annual returns higher than 10% of the initial investment.

Besides, the option is described as very complicated, and you as a potential investor do not understand it well, which is a very difficult position to be in because it could even lead you to being scammed without realizing.
