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%

If a CobbDouglas production function has alpha​ = 0.34 and beta​ = 0.42, then a​ 1% increase in inputs results in a​ ________ ch
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

0.76%

Explanation:

Firstly we write out the production function to be

Y = K^0.34L^0.42.

So if we have inputs that are increased by 1%, we will now have a new production function which is

Y = (K + 0.01 of K)^0.34 (L + 0.01 of L)^0.42

We write this in terms of growth rate

The Growth rate of Y = 0.34 x the growth rate of K + 0.42 x the growth rate of L

This gives us the Growth rate of Y = 0.34 x 1% + 0.42 x 1%

= 0.34+0.42

= 0.76%
