Answer:

a. $8.33

$1.95

b.$136,500

Explanation:

The computation of earnings per share and the common dividends per share is shown below:-

a. Earning per share = Earnings Available to Common Stockholders ÷ Number of Shares of Common Stock Outstanding

= $178,300 ÷ 21,400

= $8.33

Dividends per Share = $41,800 ÷ 21,400

= $1.95

b. Increase in retained earnings = Operating Profit (EBIT) - Interest expense - Taxes - Preferred dividends - Common dividends

= $307,000 - $32,000 - $65,100 + $31,600 + $41,800

= $136,500

We simply applied the above formulas

Asset A and B have expected returns of 5% and 3% per year respectively. Their annual volatilities are both 20% and the correlati
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

1. Weight of A=0.5, Weight of B= 0.5

2. Asset A has the highest shape ratio. The weight of A and B in the optimal risky portfolio that has the highest shape ratio is:

Weight of A= 0.105, Weight of B= 0.895

Explanation:

Expected return of Asset A= 5%Expected return of Asset A= 5%

Expected return of Asset B= 3%

Annual volatilities of Asset A= 20%

Annual votalities of Asset B= 20%

1. Correlation coefficient = 30% = 0.3 < 1

Risk Free Rate = 1% =0.01

1. Weight of A and B in portfolio with minimal risk is:

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Therefore,

CovXAXB = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.3 × 0.2 × 0.2

= 0.012

Hence,

Weight of A= (0.2)^2 - 0.012 / (0.2)^2 + (0.2)^2 - 2(0.012)

Weight of A= 0.04 - 0.012 / 0.04 + 0.04 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.08 - 0.024

= 0.028/ 0.056

=0.5

Weight of A = 0.5

Weight of B= 1 - Weight of A

Weight of B= 1 - 0.5

Weight of B= 0.5

2. Shape ratio of A= RA - Rf / β

= 0.05 - 0.01 / 2

= 0.04/2

= 0.02 =20%

Shape ratio of B= RB - Rf / β

= 0.03 - 0.01/ 2

0.02 / 2

=0.01 = 10%

So, Asset A has the highest shape ratio

Cov (XAXB) = PAB (Volatility of A) (Volatility of B)

= 0.03 × 0.2 × 0.1

= 0.006

Weight of A= β^2B - Cov (XAXB) /β^2A + β^2B - 2Cov (XAXB)

Weight of A = (0.1)^2 - 0.006 / (0.2)^2 + (0.1)^2 - 2(0.006)

= 0.01 - 0.006 / 0.04 +0.01 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.05 - 0.012

= 0.004/ 0.038

= 0.105

Weight of A = 0.105

Weight of B= 1 - 0.105

Weight of B= 0.895

Suppose that government officials have set an emissions tax to reduce pollution. Assume that the optimal tax would be $1,500, bu
Mariulka [41]

Answer: there will be too much pollution

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that government officials have set an emissions tax to reduce pollution and that the optimal tax should have been $1,500 but government officials have set the tax equal to $500.

It should be noted that due to the fact that the optimal tax has been set below the equilibrium, this will lead to a rise in pollution as the people will be aware that they're paying less than the optimal level which will lead to more pollution. An increase in the optimal tax will have help in reducing the pollution.
