Answer:

0.37%

Explanation:

Since the expected payout ratio and earning per share is given, so we compute the current dividend which is shown below:

= Earning per share × payout ratio

= $2.75 × 70%

= $1.925

Now the cost of retained earning would be

= Current year dividend ÷ price + Growth rate

=  $1.925 ÷ $45  + 0.06

= 10.28%

And, the cost of new stock would be

= Current year dividend ÷ price × (1 - flotation cost) + Growth rate

=  $1.925 ÷ $45 × (1 - 0.08)  + 0.06

= 10.65%

So, the exceed cost would be

= 10.65% - 10.28%

= 0.37%

Which of the following statements generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists? a. Increases in the money supp
rjkz [21]

Answer:

d. Government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy.

Explanation:

Suggesting that the government should use fiscal policy to try to stabilize the economy generates the greatest amount of disagreement among economists because the process of implementing fiscal policy usually experiences lag as it is being slowed down by the political system (bureaucracy) of checks and balances.

Fiscal policy is the use of government expenditures, revenues and tax policies to influence macroeconomic conditions such as employment, inflation and Aggregate Demand (ADl in a specific country.

The benefits of fiscal policy is that investments, savings and growth is usually influenced in the long-run while it basically influences aggregate demand for goods and services in the short-run.

By offering more generous unemployment insurance programs, European countries can expect Group of answer choices longer periods
natulia [17]

Answer:

Longer periods of unemployment for their workers.

Explanation:

Unemployment is when people who are willing and able work do not have jobs

Types of unemployment

structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.  

Frictional unemployment:  the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.

Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.

Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom  

If a government gives generous unemployment insurance programs, there would be less incentive to find jobs because one of the main reasons why people would want to work is to have money. If the government provides generous pay to the unemployed, there would be less motivation to work and unemployment increases

A risk premium A. is the minimum amount a decisionminusmaker would pay to avoid taking a risk. B. is the maximum amount a decisi
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The risk premium is the difference in interest rate between two parties. It can also be defined as the overprice that a country pays to be financed by markets, in comparison with other country. The risk premium is popular in the bonds market. For example, country A has bond interest rate of 4% and country B has bond interest rate of 6%, the risk premium is the difference between both interest rates: 2%. We can conclude that country B is riskier than country A because it offers a reward to investors (2% more) to acquire their debt.

According to this, the risk premium is the maximum amount that a decision maker needs to compensate risk. The risk premium is defined by how risky a country is. (I would say that it is the minimum amount needed to compensate risk, but this is the answer that better fits with the risk premium definition).
