Answer:

10.03%

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount formula, find the cost of equity; r

r = \frac{D1}{P0} +g

whereby,

D1 = Next year's dividend = 5.29

P0 = Current price of the stock = 79.83

g = growth rate of dividends = 3.40% or 0.034 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula above;

r = \frac{5.29}{79.83} +0.034\\ \\ r =0.06627 + 0.034\\ \\ =0.10027

As a percentage, r = 10.03%

Therefore, the company's cost of equity is 10.03%

What are consumer motives?
Marrrta [24]

Explanation:

The motivation for consumption comes from individual needs and desires, which may occur consciously and unconsciously. To meet their needs and wants, people identify and buy products and services that are compatible with their satisfaction.

There are several surveys and studies that seek to identify consumer behavior and explain how the purchasing decision process occurs. One of the most widespread theories in the world is Maslow's theory, which presented a hierarchy of needs that aims to identify a priority system of human needs satisfaction, divided into five parts, which are arranged in order of importance:

  1. physiological,
  2. safety,
  3. love,
  4. esteem and
  5. self-actualization

This theory is of great relevance to help marketers target their strategy according to the priority and need of individuals, including in their campaigns messages that send the consumer a sense of urgency for the product or service, directing marketing communication to the bottom of the hierarchy, which is the consumer's priority.
