Answer:

Price and quantity of chickens sold will increase.

Explanation:

Due to the prevalence of the mad cow disease, demand for cow meat will go down. Since chicken is a substitute for cow meat and there is a breed that grows twice as much with the same feeds, the demand for chicken will rise.

In economics when other factors apart from price changes it results in demand shift. In this instance demand will shift to the right.

As illustrated in the attached diagram, there will be higher quantity demanded at higher prices than before.

fenix001 [56]

Answer: $32.70

Explanation:

According to the dividend discount model, the value of the stock today is the present value of the dividends to be paid plus the present value of the value of the dividend from when the company starts maintaining a stable growth rate which in this question in year 2.

= (Year 1 Dividend / ( 1 + r)) + (Year 2 Dividend / ( 1 + r)²) + (value at year 2 / ( r - g))

Value at year 2 = Year 3 dividend / ( required return - growth rate)

= ( Year 2 dividend * (1 + g)) / ( required return - growth rate)

= (2.46* ( 1 + 0.039)) / ( 0.113 - 0.039)

= $34.54

Value today = (Year 1 Dividend / ( 1 + r)) + (Year 2 Dividend / ( 1 + r)²) + (value at year 2 / ( r - g))

= 3.15/1.113 + 2.46/1.113² + 34.54/1.113²

= 2.83 + 1.99 + 27.88

= $32.70

Explanation:

Outcome Return For $100 =  (115 - 100)/100 = 15%;

0.15 = w1(0.12) + (1 - w1)(0.05)

0.15 = 0.12w1 + 0.05 - 0.05w1

0.10 = 0.07w1  

w1 = 1.43($100)

w1 = $143;

(1 - w1)$100 = $100 - $143

(1 - w1)$100 = -$43
