topjm [15]

Answer:

It would sell for 761.49 dollars

Explanation:

Generally, stock prices are determined on stock market based on supply and demand mechanism. However, according to the discount dividend model present value of stock could be calculated as dividend per share/(cost of capital equity-growth rate). Growth rate between year 1 and 2 is 3-4/4 equals to -0.25%. From year 2 until year 3 it is 46-3/3 equals to 14.33%. Now we can take arithmetic average of these two and we get 7.04%( 14.33-0.25/2). Finally share could sell today for 46+3+4/(14-7.04%) equals to 761.49 dollars

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The amount of amortization expense each year is $500,000.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Patent original cost = $3,000,000

Salvage value after 5 years = $500,000

Number of years to use before selling it = 5 years

Therefore, we have:

Annual amortization expense = (Patent original cost - Salvage value after 5 years) / Number of years to use before selling it = ($3,000,000 - $500,000) / 5 = $500,000

Therefore, the amount of amortization expense each year is $500,000.

Interest rates can be measured more accurately and quickly than reserve aggregates; hence an interest rate is preferred to the r
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is false.

In reporting reserves aggregate there are lags interest rate such as the federal interest rate are quite easy to measure and easily observable. Such short term interest rate are nominal values and they do not measure the real cost of borrowing well. It does not show accurately what happens to Gross domestic product. Real interest rate equals nominal interest rate as a ratio of reduced inflation gives a representation of true cost of borrowing.

We cannot say with certainty that interests rate is a better policy instrument based on the ground of measurability.

Suppose interest rates on residential mortgages of equal risk were 8% in california and 10% in new york. could this differential
Aleks04 [339]

Regional mortgage rate differentials do exist, depending on supply & demand conditions in the different regions. However, high rates in one region would attract capital from other regions, and the end result would be a diffferential that was just sufficient to cover the costs of causing the transfer. Differentials are more likely in the residential mortgage market than the business loan market, and not at all likely for the large, nationwide firms, which do their borrowing in the lowest-cost money centers thereby quickly equalizing rates for large corporate loans. Interest rates are more competitive, making it easier for small borrowers, and borrowers in rural areas, to obtain lower cost loans
