Answer:

(A) $14.85

Explanation:

Annual dividend just paid (D0)= $1.50

growth rate = 7% or 0.07 as a decimal

D1 ; next year's dividend = D0(1+g) = 1.50(1.07)= 1.605

growth rate = 7-2% = 5% or 0.05 as a decimal

D2; dividend yr2 = D1(1+g) = 1.605(1.05) = 1.6853

growth rate = 5-2% = 3% or 0.03 as a decimal

Terminal Cashflow; D3 = 1.6853 (1.03) = 1.7359

Next, find the present value of each dividend at 14%;

PV(D1) = 1.605/(1.14 ) = 1.4079

PV(D2) = 1.6853/(1.14² ) = 1.2968

PV of terminal Cashflow (D3 onwards) = \frac{\frac{1.7359}{0.14-0.03} }{1.14^{2} } = 12.1429

Next, sum up the PVs to find the price;

= 1.4079 + 1.2968 + 12.1429

= 14.848

Therefore the price of the stock today  is $14.85

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

structurally unemployed.

Explanation:

Unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the total labor force in an economy, who are unemployed but seeking to be gainfully employed. The unemployment rate is divided into various types, these include;

1. Cyclical unemployment rate (CU).

2. Frictional unemployment rate (FU).

3. Structural unemployment rate (SU).

Structural unemployment can be defined as an involuntary unemployment that arises as a result of the incompatibility between a worker's skills set and requisite skills an employer seeks from the workers or due to technological changes.

This ultimately implies that, it describes a situation where an individual isn't able to secure a job as a result of insufficient number of jobs matching their qualifications, thus limiting their opportunities.

In this scenario, Monica Smith was unemployed because the steel company, where she worked, closed and moved overseas to a foreign country. Other steel companies have also closed. Her skills are not transferable to another industry and she is unable to get a job.

Hence, she would be classified as structurally unemployed.
