Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate is the sum of real interest rate and inflation. The lender charged nominal interest rate of 15% expecting inflation to be 10% in the following year. However, inflation was 12%. So, nominal rate becomes 17% (12% + 5%).

The lender should have charged a nominal interest rate of 17% instead of 15%. Now, he has to bear the loss of 2%. Borrower on the other hand benefited as he is paying lower interest rate than what is prevailing in the market.

kupik [55]

Answer:

Arrange for discussions with the customers including the possibility for full refund

Explanation:

Weight-Gone has failed in its promise of 8 pounds weight loss,hence a saving-grace approach would be to have cordial talks with the affected customers in order to establish their plight which will serve as a feedback for the quality team and the product design department in redesigning the product to make it fit for purpose.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

3) The only bank in a small town

Explanation:

By definition a monopoly occurs when there is only one supplier in the market for a specific good or service. In this case, if there is only one bank that works in a small town, then that bank has a monopoly of all the town's residents that require banking services. If any resident doesn't like that specific bank, they need to go to another town in search for banking services.

TMS just paid an annual dividend of $2.84 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 1.85
bija089 [108]

Answer:

$41.39

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Annul Dividend paid, D0 = $2.84 per share

Growth rate, g = 1.85% = 0.0185

Rate of return required, r = 10.4% = 0.104

Now,

Current price of the stock at year 11 = D12 ÷ [ r - g]

= [ $2.84 × (1 + g)¹²] ÷ [ r - g]

=  [ $2.84 × (1 + 0.0185)¹²] ÷ [ 0.104 - 0.0185]

= 3.539 ÷ 0.0855

= $41.39
