Answer:

Cost of equity = 6.34%

Explanation:

Provided information is as follows:

Beta = 1.28

Market risk premium = 7.4%

T-Bills yield = Risk free return = 3.6%

Dividend given = $1.62

Growth rate g = 2%

Current price = $38

Using Capital Asset Pricing Model

Cost of equity = Risk free return + Beta (Market risk - Risk free return)

= 3.6% + 1.28 (7.4 - 3.6)

= 3.6% + 4.864% = 8.464%

Using dividend growth model

Current price of share = \frac{Dividend\: paid \: + \: growth }{Cost \: of \: equity\: - \: growth}

$38 = \frac{1.62 + (0.02\times1.62)}{Cost\: of\: equity\: -\: 0.02}

Cost of equity - 0.02 = \frac{1.6524}{38} = 4.34%

Cost of equity = 4.34 + 2 = 6.34%

But the best estimate is using dividend growth model as this is company specific while capital asset pricing model uses the industry and market rates and do not consider company performance.

Therefore, cost of equity = 6.34%

Why has America been referred to as " the land of opportunity"?
kozerog [31]

Same as with Canada which is where both my grandfathers came from. Let's see how many reasons I can come up with just off the top of my head and just for those two.

  1. They enjoyed the freedom of the First Amendment (speech, press, religion, assembly -- Canada has the same provision) that was not granted in the country they left. They never exercised those rights, I don't think, but their children and grandchildren did.
  2. They were free to raise their children so that they had the chance of being productive. My father was an MD, but he owed that piece of good fortune to his father. The country from which they came would never have allowed him to get all that education.
  3. They were able to eventually bring their wives and children with them. There was enough money to be made, even at jobs that didn't pay much, to bring them across the Atlantic.
  4. They were able, once the families were here, to turn their attention to bettering their conditions. They never became rich, but no one starved either. That's more than could be said about those relatives who didn't do as they did.
  5. They were free to travel. They didn't do that, but their children and especially their grandchildren did. That too was very limited where they came from.
  6. They had medical care and good medical care which was not given to just anyone where they came from.

Volgvan

Answer: No. It does not violate Title VII if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Cynthia, requested a two-week leave from her employer to go on a religious pilgrimage and that the pilgrimage was not a requirement of her religion, but Cynthia felt it was a calling from God.

Based on the scenario, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave. According to the court, when an employee says that based on his or her religious belief, he or she is required to go to a pilgrimage, the person has to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

In this case, her church which is the Roman Catholic didn't call for a pilgrimage as it was her personal choice. Therefore, Title VII is not violated if Cynthia's employer does not grant her the leave.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

a concept that explains how a customer’s choices affect which products a business should continue to supply in the market    

Explanation:

In simple words, Dollar voting relates to the example used only to relate to the effect of consumer demand on the behavior of suppliers via the stream of consumer purchases for their commodities to the suppliers.

In the potential, goods which people purchase will continue to be made. Throughout the future, product lines which are not selling as well as anticipated will probably have fewer productive assets. Efficiently, customers vote for "finalists" as well as "whiners" with their transactions as per this metaphor.
