Answer and Explanation:

Earnings per Share, EPS = <u>Net Income dividend of preferred stock</u>

                                            Number of stock outstanding

EPS  depends on the earnings and its dilution due to increase in preferred stock also it depends on the net income earned

When EPS is higher than analyst prediction,

this may be due to increase in the net income

or

payback of common stock or preferred stock

thereby leading to reduction in the number of stock outstanding

When EPS is lower than analyst prediction

this would be due to reduction in the net income

or

increase of stock or preferred stock due to fresh issue

Insurance against issues that could lead to reduction on income and inrease in the activities that will lead to net income increase can help meet or surpass analyst prediction

A country reported nominal GDP of $200 billion in 2010 and $180 billion in 2009. It also reported a GDP deflator of 125 in 2010
QveST [7]

Answer:

19%

Explanation:

Given that,

Nominal GDP in 2010 = $200 billion

Nominal GDP in 2009 = $180 billion

GDP deflator in 2010 = 125

GDP deflator in 2009 = 105

Percentage change in prices:

= Percentage change in GDP deflator

= (Change in GDP deflator ÷ GDP deflator in 2009) × 100

= [(125 - 105) ÷ 105] × 100

= (20 ÷ 105) × 100

= 0.19 × 100

= 19%

Therefore, the prices increases by 19%.
