Answer:

$41.66

Explanation:

Let us assume the dividend in year n be denoted by Dn and the Stock price by Pn

Given that,

D0 = $1.50

Now

Growth rate for next 3 years

g1 = 15%

D1 = D0 × (1 + g1)

    = 1.50 × (1 + 0.15)

   = 1.725

D2 = D1 × (1 + g1)

= 1.725 × (1 + 0.15)

= 1.984

D3 = D2 × (1 + g1)

= 1.984 × (1 + 0.15)

= 2.282

Subsequent Growth rate = g2 = 4%

Now  

D4 = D3 × (1 + g2)

     = 2.282 × (1 + 0.04)

     = 2.373

So, According to Gordon's Growth Rate,

P3 = D4 ÷(r - g2)

P3 = 2.373 ÷ (0.09 - 0.04)

    = $47.46

Now  

Value of Stock now  is

= P0

= D1 ÷ (1 + r) + D2 ÷ (1 + r)^2 + D3 ÷ (1 + r)^3 + P3 ÷ (1 + r )^3

= 1.725 ÷ (1 + 0.09) + 1.984 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^2 + 2.282 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^3 + 47.46 ÷ (1 + 0.09)^3

= $41.66

Answer:

c. 0.25

Explanation:

Cross-price elasticity = [(Q2-Q1/)((Q1-Q2)/2) * 100] / [(P2-P1/)((P1-P2)/2) * 100]

Cross-price elasticity = [(65-55)/((65+55)/2)*100] / [(2-1)/((1+2)/2)*100]

Cross-price elasticity = 16.6667/66.6667

Cross-price elasticity = 0.25000037

Cross-price elasticity = 0.25

On September 30

Bonds payable A/c Dr $1,000,000

= $1,010,000

For Loss, it would be

= $1,010,000 - $990,000

Assume a drought in the Great Plains reduces the supply of wheat. Noting that wheat is a basic ingredient in the production of b
tatyana61 [14]

Answer: a. rise, the supply of bread to decrease, and the demand for potatoes to increase.

Explanation:

According to the Economic law of SUPPLY AND DEMAND, less supply means HIGHER prices simply because the good is becoming scarce not unlike fuel during global oil shortages.

Now, we are told that the drought reduced the supply for wheat which means the SUPPLY of wheat has DECREASED and this will translate to the SUPPLY of Bread DECREASING as well. According to the aforementioned law, prices of Bread will therefore RISE.

Since Bread prices have risen, people will seek alternatives to bread as they may not want to pay the high price. This will lead them to choosing the alternative to bread which in this case are Potatoes which would therefore INCREASE the DEMAND for potatoes.
