Answer:

P/E ratio in 2020 is 14.7

P/E ratio in 2021 is 15.23

Explanation:

Price-earning (P/E) ratio = Price per Share/ Earning per Share

The earning after dividends on preferred stock in 2021 is $148 = Net income $182 - Dividends on preferred stock $34

Then earning per share in 2021 is $0.74 = $148/ 200  

P/E ratio in 2021 is 15.23 = $11.27/$0.74

Repeat calculation for 2020, then:

The earning after dividends on preferred stock in 2020 is $139 = Net income $164 - Dividends on preferred stock $25

Then earning per share in 2021 is $0.695 = $139/ 200  

P/E ratio in 2020 is 14.7 = $10.22/$0.695

Olenka [21]

Answer: The one day rate of return on the stock is 1.49%

We arrive at the answer in the following manner:

First we need to calculate yesterday's and today's index values.

For that we need to find weights of each day based on market capitalization.

Market Capitalization _{ a stock} = Market Price * No .of outstanding shares

The weight of a company in the index is calculated by dividing the market capitalization  of a company by the total market capitalization of all the companies whose shares are a part of the index.

Weight_{Company A} =\frac{Mkt Cap of company A}{Total Market cap}

Then, we multiply the share price of each company with their respective weights and find the total to arrive at the index value for one day.

<u>Yesterday's Index Value</u>

Stock        Price         No. of shares      Mkt Cap  Weight  Weight*Price

A               12               600000        7200000      0.25      2.96 (0.25*12)    

B               20               500000       10000000    0.34      6.85(0.34*20)

C               60               200000       <u>12000000</u>     <u>0.41</u>      <u>24.66  </u>(0.41*60)

Total                                                 29200000     1.00      34.47

We calculate the weight for stock A as follows:

Weight_{A} =\frac{72,00,000}{2,92,00,000} = 0.2466 = 0.25

We calculate the weights of the remaining stocks in a similar manner.

Please note that the sum total of all weights must add up to 1.

The sum total of the last column (Price * Weight) is yesterday's index value.

We repeat the same steps with today's market price to arrive at today's index value.

<u>Today's index Value</u>

Stock        Price   No. of shares       Mkt Cap     Weight    Weight*Price

A               16               600000       96,00,000     0.31        4.95 (0.31*16)    

B               18               500000       90,00,000     0.29       5.23  (0.29*18)

C               62               200000    <u>1,24,00,000</u>     <u>0.40</u>     <u>24.80</u>(0.40*62)

Total                                                3,10,00,000     1.00     34.98

<u>One-day Rate of Return</u>

We can calculate the one day rate of return on the index as follows:

Rate of return = [\frac{(Today's index value - Yesterday's index value}{Yesterday's index value}) * 100

Rate of Return = ( \frac{34.98 - 34.47}{34.47}) * 100

Rate of return = (\frac{0.51}{34.47}) *100

Rate of return = 0.01494 or 1.49%

"A forklift will last for only 2 more years. It costs $5,000 a year to maintain. For $20,000 you can buy a new lift that can las
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

a. $2,465.82

b. $3,539.68

c. Yes, we should

Explanation:

Annual cost to maintain old forklift is $5,000

Equivalent Annual Cost (EAC) of new forklift = (Asset price x discount rate)/(1-(1+discount rate)-n), in which n is the number of year for usage of this forklift?

If discount rate is 4% per year, the EAC of new forklift is $2,465.82  

= ($20,000x4%)/(1-(1+4%)-10)

If discount rate is 12% per year, the EAC of new forklift is $3,539.68  

= ($20,000x12%)/(1-(1+12%)-10)

We should replace because with such above discount rate, the old forklift is more costly than the new one

To maximize utility, a consumer should allocate money income so that the Multiple ChoiceA) elasticity of demand on all products
ikadub [295]

Answer:

D) Marginal utility of the last unit of each product consumed is the same.

Explanation:

To maximize utility with a given income constraint, a consumer must chose products to maximize utility. This can be done so that each extra dollar, which is the marginal income, spent on each of these products yields the equal marginal utility. For example if one product yields more marginal utility per marginal dollar spent, the consumer should reallocate their income so they consume more of this product and less of others, so much so that the utility derived from this product equals utility derived from other products.

Utility is maximized when these marginal utilities per marginal dollar spent coincide.

Hope that helps.
