Answer:
11%
Explanation:
To address this exercise, we need to recall the formula for dividend discounted model (DDM). The DDM is stated as below:
Stock intrinsic value = Next year dividend/(Required rate of return - Long term growth)
Rearrange a bit this formula, we have:
Next year dividend/Stock intrinsic value = Required rate of return - Long term growth, or
Dividend yield = Required rate of return - Long term growth
Putting all the number together, we have:
6.4% = Required rate of return - 4.6% or Required rate of return = 11%
Answer:
45.58%
Explanation:
Rate of return is the expected gain or loss on an investment, over a specific time period. It is derived as a percentage of the investment's original value or cost.
ROR = [CV - IV]/ IV × 100
CV is the current value of the investment (value at the end of the investment period)
IV is the initial value of the investment.
Note also, the assumption that interest payments are reinvested.
At the end of year 1, interest payment is $1,164.24
End of year 2 - $1,255.05
End of year 3 - $1,352.95
End of year 4 - $1,458.48
End of year 5 - $1,572.24
[Interest rate - 7.8%]
ROR = (1572.24 - 1080)/1080 × 100
ROR = 45.58%
Answer:
c. Division 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 because Division 1's variable cost per part is only $18.
Explanation:
Since the variable cost per part is only $18 and Division 1 sells to Division 2 at $25, it is in the company's overall interest that business should continue between the two divisions.
The cost of getting the part from outside is $26. This will incur more cost to the company and create excess capacity for Division 1.
Fixed costs are not relevant in making a decision of this nature. The costs would be incurred irrespective of the decision made. They are therefore irrelevant. The relevant cost is the variable cost of $18 per unit. It should be the focus of the decision, including the possibility of excess capacity for Division 1.
Answer:
The correct option is increase; decrease; increase
Explanation:
First, we will define the following terms:
- Consumer surplus
- Producer surplus
- Total surplus
<u>Consumer surplus</u> refers to the difference between the price that consumers pay and the price that they are willing to pay. Consumer surplus always increases as the price of a good falls and decreases as the price of a good rises. Therefore, in this scenario, as the country exports wheat, more wheat will be available in the market, leading to a fall in price, thereby leading to an increase in consumer surplus.
<u>Producer surplus</u> refers to the difference between how much a producer would be willing to accept for given quantity of a good against how much they can receive by selling the good at the market price. The difference or surplus amount is the benefit the producer receives for selling the good in the market. When prices rise, producer surplus increases, and when price falls, producer surplus decreases. There a decrease in price spurred by more wheat in the market will lead to a decrease in producer surplus.
<u>Total surplus</u> in a market refers to the measure of the total well-being of all participants in a market. Therefore, with more wheat in the market, there will be a drop in price, and consumers will be able to buy more, leading to more supply. This will lead to an increase in total surplus.
Answer:
A. the economy is producing at less than its potential output and has some cyclical unemployment.
Explanation:
Increase in government spending will increase domestic income, only if economy is producing at less than its potential output.
Increase in federal government spending raises the level of 'govt expenditure' in Aggregate Demand. This creates 'Excess Demand' (AD > AS). However, if the economy is at full employment level, i.e all the resources are already best efficiently utilised as per their production potential. Then, the economy can't increase its domestic income more than its full employment (full potential) level. So : Increase in government spending in full employment case, wont increase total production/ income/ employment further ; as the economy is already at full employment & can't increase economic activity beyond that.
