Answer:

Since the real rate of interest is negative, this means that the purchasing power of the savings have decreased over the  year.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Interest rates = 7.85 %

The rate of inflation = 12.3 %

Now,

The Real interest rate is calculated as :

Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate - Inflation rate

on substituting the respective values, we get

Real interest rate = 7.85% - 12.3%

Or

The real interest rate = - 4.45%

Here,

Since the real rate of interest is negative, this means that the purchasing power of the savings have decreased over the  year.

Answer:

According to this situation, we assume that firm F is the only producer of product X.

Explanation:

A perfect replacement is a condition in which two items are considered equal. Great replacements are goods and you can't build a brand whereby consumers like the commodity.

Except for a market price, optimal substitution suppliers must have no impact on the quality.

  • Therefore, in this situation product Y's price rises, so people shift for product X.
  • In results, firm F had to increase his supply which shows that firm F is the only producer of product X in the industry.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(a) the earnings per share = $3

(b) the price-earnings ratio = 8x

(c) the dividends per share = $0.25

(d) the dividend yield = 1.04%

Explanation:

Common Stock Outstanding = 5,250,000/25 = 210,000 shares

Preferred Stock Outstanding = 6,000,000/200 = 30,000 shares

Preferred Stock Dividend per share = $4

(a) Earnings Per Share

EPS = <u>Net Income - Preferred Dividend</u>

            Common Stock Outstanding

EPS = <u>750,000 - (30,000 * 4)</u>

                  210,000

EPS = <u>630,000</u>

           210,000

EPS = $3

(b) Price-Earnings Ratio    

Market Price = $24

EPS = $3

P/E ratio = <u>Market Price</u>

                      EPS

P/E ratio = 24/3

P/E ratio = 8x

(c) Dividends Per Share

DPS = <u>               Total Dividends          </u>

             Common Stock Outstanding

DPS = 52,500/210,000

DPS = $0.25

(d) Dividend Yield

DY = <u>Dividend Per Share</u>

                   Price

DY = 0.25/24

DY = 1.04%
