Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": Strong form.

Explanation:

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is the theory that beating the market is impossible because current stock prices reflect all the information investors need to trade the markets. Technical and fundamental analysis remain useless in trying to predict future price action.

The EMH could be classified as the <em>Weak, Strong, </em>and <em>Semi-Strong EMH</em>. The strong form of the EMH establishes that insider information and public information are already in the current stock price, then, there is no special data that could provide an advantage to an investor to take advantage of the market.

In such a case,<em> the strong form of the EMH is opposed to the idea given in the example since it is proposing insider information gives employees an advantage to make large profits before the information of trial drugs is spread among the public.</em>

Sue plans to mix peppermints worth $1.20 per lb with chocolates worth $2.40 per lb to get a 40 lb mix that is worth $1.65 per lb
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Each should be used as follows:

Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb

Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb

Explanation:

Suppose

Weight of peppermints = X

Weight of Chocolates = Y

So According to given condition

X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)

1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)

By multiplying  (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get

1.2X + 1.2Y = 48  (Eq. 3)

Now by subtracting  (Eq. 2) from  (Eq. 3)

(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66

1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18

1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)

-1.2Y = -18

1.2Y = 18

Y = 18/1.2

Y = 15

By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)

X + 15 = 40

X = 40 - 15

X = 25

<u>Check</u>

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66

1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66

66 = 66

Joker stock has a sustainable growth rate of 7 percent, ROE of 10 percent, and dividends per share of $1.20. If the P/E ratio is
belka [17]

Answer:

P/E ratio = <u>Market price per share</u>

                Earnings per share

15 = <u>Market price per share</u>

       $4

Market price per share = 15 x $4 = $60

Growth rate = Retention rate x ROE

0.07 = Retention rate x  0.10

<u>0.07</u> = Retention rate

0.10

Retention rate = 0.7 = 70%

Dividend pay-out ratio = 100% - 70%

Dividend pay-out ratio = 30%

Earnings per share = 100/30 x $1.20 = $4

Explanation:

In this case,  we will apply the formula of price-earnings ratio, which is market price per share divided by earnings per share. The P/E ratio was given while the earnings per share is derived. The market price per share becomes the subject of the formula.

In order to determine the earnings per share, we need to obtain the retention ratio by applying the formula of growth rate. In this case, growth rate and ROE were provided in the question with the exception of retention rate. Thus,  the retention rate is made the subject of the formula.  Having obtained the retention rate, we will now obtain the dividend payout ratio which is 100% minus retention rate.

Then, we will obtain the earnings per share by dividing 100 by the pay-out ratio multiplied by the dividend per share.
