Answer: D. During an economic downturn, a company changes its computer policy to only allow purchases of windows-based laptops and see profits go down. The company concludes that windows-based laptops cause profits to go down

Explanation:

In the other options, the new activity done by the company were definite causes of the effects that followed. A more efficient production process will cause gains in productivity. Coupons will bring in more sales and paying employees more will encourage them to engage in more sales.

Concluding that a computer type causes profits to go down however in a period where the economy as a whole is buying less, is simply correlation. In an economic downturn, people are buying less goods in general. The laptops will be no exception and it is not a reflection of people's preference or lack thereof of them.

The development cost will be treated as expense as there is no precise information that can determined the development cost which yield a positive outcome.

garri49 [273]
When a company expands by entering a new business area, it is called growth through diversification. 

Diversity is the means of being different, new, exciting.. something not like another. When a business enters something new, it's called diversification because it's not like what they've done before. With this comes risk but huge growth potential.

Common stock​ value: Constant growth The common stock of Barr Labs​ Inc., trades for ​$120 per share. Investors expect the compa
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Dividend growth rate anticipated = 14.66%

Explanation:

Using dividend growth model we have

P{_0} = \frac{D{_1}}{K{_e} - g}

Where P{_0} = Current market price = $120

D{_1} = Dividend to be paid at year end or next year = $1.37

K{_e} = Expected return on equity = 15.8%

g = Expected growth rate

Now putting values we have

$120 = \frac{1.37}{0.158 - g}

0.158 - g = \frac{1.37}{120} = 0.0114

0.158 - 0.0114 = g

0.1466 = g = 14.66%
