Answer:
Lenders loose and borrowers gain
Explanation:
Whenever inflation increases the value of money falls and technically erodes interest rates (hence real interest rate falls although nominal rate stays the same)
In the scenario, if the inflation rate rises to 5.5%, then the real interest rate falls further from 1.5% to (5.75% - 5.5%) 0.25%, demonstrating that the lender is loosing further.
Contrarily, the borrower will technically be paying lesser interest to the lender because he will be paying lesser money in value to the lender both in terms of interest and principal
Answer:
$961.54
Explanation:
To calculate the real price of the TV you would have to determine the present value of the TV's price. The future price of the TV is $1,000 and your discount rate is 4% annual (the same as your bank), so the present value of the TV =
present value = future value / (1 + rate) = $1,000 / 1.04 = $961.54
Answer:
b. social benefits will be greater than private benefits
Explanation:
Positive externalities can be defined as those that produce positive effects for society in relation to the consumption of a good or service.
This is because the social benefit is the sum of the private benefit plus the sum of the external benefit.
An example of positive externality pertinent to the present is the fact that vaccinating people generates greater positive effects on society, because when vaccinating an individual there is less chance of having more people infected with some disease.
So it is correct to say that the social benefits will be greater than the private ones. Letter b.
The fact that companies can now organize and analyze vast amounts of data on individuals to determine individual behavior profiles is due mostly to

Answer:
a)
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
- P₀ = current stock price = ?
- Div₁ = next dividend = $8
- Re = equity cost = 10%
- g = constant growth rate = 5%
P₀ = $8 / (10% - 5%) = $8 / 5% = $160
b)
EPS = $12
Return on equity (ROE) = g / b
b = retention rate = 1 - payout ratio = 1 - ($8/$12) = 0.333
g = 5%
ROE = 5% / 0.333 = 15%
c)
Present value of growth opportunity (PVGO) = P₀ - EPS/Re
- P₀ = $160
- EPS = $12
- Re = 10%
PVGO = $160 - $12/10% = $160 - $120 = $40 per share
