Answer:

option (e) 13.95%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Dividend paid, D0 = $6 per share

Current selling price = $80 per share

Dividend growth rate = 6% = 0.06

Now,

Cost of equity = [ D1 ÷ Current price] + Growth rate

=  [ ( D0 × (1 + g) ) ÷ $80 ] + 0.06

=  [ ( $6 × (1 + 0.06) ) ÷ $80 ] + 0.06

= [ 6.36 ÷ $80 ] + 0.06

= 0.1395

or

= 0.1395 × 100%

= 13.95%

Hence,

The correct answer is option (e) 13.95%

1. Given the nominal interest rate of 17​% and the expected inflation of 13​%, then the value of the real interest rate is ___ ?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

According to fisher equation

(1+nominal Interest rate)=(1+real interest rate)(1+inflation)

1) So 1.17=(1+R)(1.13)

1+R=1.17/1.13

R=1.035-1

R=0.0353

Real interest rate = 3.53 percent

2) (1+NIR)= 1.03*1.04

  1+ NIR= 1.072

NIR= 0.072

Nominal interest rate = 7.2 percent

A lender prefers a higher real interest rate as he will earn more money on the amount he has lend if the real interest rate is higher.

A borrower will prefer a lower real interest rate as he will have to pay lower interest payments on an amount if the real interest rate is lower.

Answer:

<u><em>But where do we go from here? </em></u>

It depends on the result of more government intervention on quality life standards.

<u><em>Do we need less or more government involvement? </em></u>

It depends on the problems that need to be addressed. For example, to address problems such inequality it is mandatory that the government gets involve and create laws to prevent it. But surely for more movement of capitals there is no need of higher government involvement.

Yes. If government has an effective involvement there is even desirable to have its intervention but if it complicates everything then is repeled.
