Answer: Fiction

Explanation: According to some theorists, public opinion is a rhetorical construction. This means that it is a phantom, having no real link to "the public" as citizens. These theorists go on to claim that politicians and journalists tend to state that public opinion regarding a certain issue is concluded without any available evidence, or public's influence. However this is only one form of the definition of public opinion.

Other types of definitions include:

Public opinion is an aggregation: Journalists and politicians claim public opinion is the total of a lot of individual opinions.

Public opinion reflects the majority's beliefs: Theorists claim that public opinion is the equivalent of the values and beliefs of the majority.

Public opinion is discovered in groups clashing: Some theorists believe public opinion lies in power dynamics within a group, and how it coexists, or fails to do so, with other groups.

Public opinion reflects media: Theorists believe that public opinion is best gathered from what politicians, journalists and other influential elites believe.

Answer:

d. The stock price is expected to be $54 a share one year from now.

Explanation:

Using dividend discount model(DDM), find next year's dividend;

P0 = D1/ (r-g)

50 = D1/(0.14-0.08)

50 = D1/ 0.06

Multiply both sides by 0.06 to solve for D1;

50 *0.06 = D1

3 = D1

Next, year's dividend is $3

Dividend yield = D1/P0;

= 3/ 50 = 0.06 or 6% hence choices A& B are incorrect.

Next year's price; P1 = P0(1+g)

P1 = 50(1.08) = $54 hence choice D is correct

taurus [48]

Answer: Covered Call

When a person holds a stock and writes (sells) calls on the same stock, the strategy is known as a covered call.

A person can opt for this strategy if he has a neutral view on the stock, but wants to generate an income stream by receiving premiums by writing the call option.

The risk involved in this strategy occurs when the stock price moves above the strike price. In this scenario, the covered call writer has to deliver the shares when the call is exercised. He doesn’t benefit from an increase in price.
