Why are supply and demand curves sloping in opposite directions?

Aliun [14]3 years ago

The first law of demand states that as price increases, less quantity is demanded. This is why the demand curve slopes down to the right. Because price and quantity move in opposite directions on the demand curve, the price elasticity of demand is always negative.

Mobray Corp. is experiencing rapid growth. Dividends are expected to grow at 32 percent per year during the next three years, 22
KatRina [158]

Answer:

$1.3794

Explanation:

The computation of the projected dividend for the coming year is shown below:

Last year dividend paid = Do

Expected Dividend in Year 1 (D1) = Do ( 1+g) = Do × 1.32

Dividend in Year 2 (D2) = Do ( 1+g)^2  = Do × 1.32^2

Dividend in Year 3 (D3) =  Do ( 1+g)^3 = Do × 1.32^3

Dividend in year 4 , (D4) = D3 ×  (1+g) = Do × 1.32^3 × 1.22

Now the price at year 4 is

P4 = D4 × (1+g) ÷ ( R-g )

= Do × 1.32^3 × 1.22 × (1 + 0.07 ) ÷ ( 0.10 - 0.07 )

= Do × 100.08

Use Gordon Growth Model

The Current Price of Stock is

= D1 ÷ ( 1+ R)^1 +D2 ÷ ( 1+ R)^2 + D3 ÷ ( 1+ R)^3 + D4 ÷ ( 1+ R)^4 + P4 ÷ ( 1+ R)^4

$78  = Do ( 1.32 ÷ 1.1 + 1.32^2 ÷ 1.1 ^2 + 1.32^3 ÷ 1.1^3 +1.32^3 × 1.22 ÷ 1.1^4 + 100 .08 ÷ 1.1^4)  

$78 = Do ( 1.2 +1.44 + 1.728 + 1.9165 + 68.36 )

Do = $1.045

Now

Projected Dividend for Year 1 is

= Do × 1.32

= $1.045 × 1.32

= $1.3794

QUESTION 31 Kumar Consulting operates several stock investment portfolios that are used by firms for investment of pension plan
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The portfolio's alpha is - 0.15%

Explanation:

For computing the portfolio's alpha, first, we have to compute the expected rate of return. The formula is shown below:

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (realized rate of return - free rate of return)

= 7% + 1.15 × (12% -  7%)

= 7% + 1.15 × 5%

= 7% + 5.75%

= 12.75%

Now the portfolio alpha equal to

= Expected rate of return -  portfolio realized rate of return

=  12.75% - 12.6%

= - 0.15%

The number of units expected to sold in May is the combination of  expected sales volumes in Territory W,Territory X and Territory Y.

In other words,total sales volume is the addition of all segments' sales volume.

Territory W has expected sales of 6,000 units

Territory X has expected sales of 7,000 units

Territory Y has expected sales of 8 000 units

Total units expected to be sold=6,000+7,000+8,000

                                                   =21,000 units

The expected production could be computed as expected sales volume +desired ending inventory minus desired opening inventory

Corporations differ from partnerships and other forms of business association in two ways. One of these is that:________.
8090 [49]

Answer: c. they must be publicly registered or in some way officially acknowledged by the law.

Explanation:

Corporations tend to have many shareholders who would get hurt if the company fails and for this reason they are regulated by the law. They must be publicly registered to allow people to purchase and sell shares and they must have the official acknowledgement of the law.

The formation of a corporation can be complicated and require a relatively high number of legal processes and corporations are not regulated by the Federal Trade Commission.

Also, even though shareholders are technically entitled to the company's profits, they don't get to collect it immediately because the company needs money to function and grow.
