Answer:

The expected/required rate of return is 13.8125%.

Explanation:

The stock is a constant growth stock as the dividends are expected to grow constantly forever. The constant dividend growth model of DDM is used to calculate the price of such a stock today. As we already know the price, we will use the formula of the constant growth model to determine the required rate of return. The formula for constant growth model is:

P0 or Price today = D1  /  r - g

Plugging in the available known values,

16  =  1.25  /  (r - 0.06)

16 * (r - 0.06)  =  1.25

16r  -  0.96  =  1.25

16r = 1.25 + 0.96

r = 2.21 / 16

r = 0.138125  or  13.8125%

If Farmer Jane's opportunity cost of producing corn is lower than Farmer John's, she has a(n) ___________ in producing corn.
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

b. comparative advantage

Explanation:

Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.

For example, if you decide to invest resources such as money in a food business (restaurant), your opportunity cost would be the profits you could have earned if you had invest the same amount of resources in a salon business or any other business as the case may be.

In this scenario, Farmer Jane's opportunity cost of producing corn is lower than Farmer John's, therefore, she has a comparative advantage in producing corn.

Comparative advantage in economics is the ability of an individual or country to produce a specific good or service at a lower opportunity cost better than another individual or country.

Hence, the comparative advantage gives an individual or country a stronger sales margin than their competitors as they are able to sell their specific products or render their peculiar services at a lower opportunity cost.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

<em>End up losing because it is legally binding the clause that would limit the statute of limitations to 18 months.</em>

Explanation:

Within UCC 2-725, in cases that involve the exchange of goods, a 4-year restriction law applies. The parties can reduce the duration to not less than 1 year (but not extend it).

When a delivery tender is made, an action for violation of warranty accrues (the statute begins to run).

However if the warranty specifically applies to future performance and violation disclosure must postpone that performance, the penalty will occur when the breach is discovered or should have been discovered.
