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:
A) a 23.5% decrease in materials
B) a 64% decrease in labor costs
C) a 29.1% decrease in overhead
Explanation:
White Tiger's multifactor productivity = $300 / $148 = 2.027
if we want to increase the multifactor productivity by 12%, it will = 2.27
since we will not change the sales price, we must determine the new total cost:
$300 / cost = 2.27
cost = $300 / 2.27 = $132.16 ≈ $132, which represents a $16 decrease
A) materials ⇒ $16/$68 = 23.5%
B) labor costs ⇒ $16/$25 = 64%
C) overhead ⇒ $16/$55 = 29.1%
Answer:
C. All else being equal, the growth rate of the dividends is greater than 2%
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the fair price of a stock with a constant growth in dividends is as follows,
- P = D1 / r-g
- Where D1 is the dividend next period
- r is the required rate of return
- g is the growth rate in dividends
- P = 1.5 / 0.1 - 0.02 = 18.75
- We are taking 1.5 as D1 as it is the dividend per share DeepMind will pay next year.
So, we will be willing to pay more than 18.75 if the fair price per share today is greater than 18.75. We check all the 3 options.
A. say the required rate is 10.1%
- P = 1.5 / (0.101 - 0.02) = 18.52
- So if the required rate of return increases from 10%, the fair price per share is falling and we will be willing to pay less than 18.75 per share.
B. P = 1.2 / (0.1 - 0.02) = 15
- If D1 = 1.2,the fair price per share will be 15 which is less so we will not be willing to pay more than 15 for such share.
C. Say the growth rate in dividends is 2.1%
- P = 1.5 / (0.1 - 0.021) = 18.99
- The fair price per share increased to 18.99 if the growth rate in dividend increases by 0.1 percentage point. Thus, C is the correct answer
