A good indicator of the value of a company is the ratio of the price of its stock to its yearly earnings expressed as dividends.

This ratio is called the Price to Earnings or P/E ratio. If the price of a stock is $36 and it's earnings are $3.00, by how many cents must the earnings decrease in order that the P/E ratio increases by 20%?

Answer:

4.92 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The Price to Earnings or P/E is the ratio of the price of its stock to its yearly earnings expressed as dividends.

The price of a stock is $36 and it's earnings are $3.00

This means the price to earnings ratio,

P/E = 36/3 = 6

Let us express this ratio as percentage. This becomes

36/3 ×100 = 1200%

This means the ratio of price to earnings = 1200%

For an increase of 20%, the ratio of price to earnings will be = 1200 + 20 = 1220%.

Let x be the the value of earnings that would increase the ratio by 20%

36/3 × 100 = 1200%

36/x × 100 = 1220℅

3600/x = 1220

x = 3600/1220 = $2.9508

The amount by which the earnings must decrease in order that the P/E ratio increases by 20% will be

$3 - $2.9508 = $0.0492.

Converting to cents, we multiply by 100. It becomes

0.0492×100 = 4.92 cents

Mustafa, Heloise, and Gia have written more than a combined total of 222222 articles for the school newspaper. Heloise has writt
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

  • m + m/4 + 3m/2 > 22
  • m > 8 . . . . m restricted to multiples of 4, perhaps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of articles Mustafa has written. Then the total number of articles written must satisfy the inequality ...

  m +m/4 +3m/2 > 22

This has solution ...

  (11/4)m > 22

   m > (4/11)22

   m > 8 . . . . . . . . the solution to the inequality

If all the numbers are integers, and the ratios are exact, then we must have m be a multiple of 4 (that is, 4 times the number of articles Heloise wrote).

The solution set will be ...

  m ∈ {12, 16, 20, 24, ...} (multiples of 4 greater than 8)

Find the slope of the line y=1/8-1 show your work
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

-7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/8 -1

y = 1/2^3 -1

y = 1 - (2^3)/2^3

y = 1-8/2^3

y = 7/2^3

y = -7/8

Please help!!!!!<br>Solve the equation 5(2y - 1) - 2(3y)= 1<br>​
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

y = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(2y - 1) - 2(3y) = 1

First we use distributive property:

10y - 5 - 6y = 1

because 5 × 2y = 10y

and -2 × 3y = -6y

Now we combine the like terms:

4y -5 = 1

because 10y - 6y = 4y

Now we have to send the -5 to the other side. (when we send it to the other side it becomes positive because right now it is negative)

4y = 1 + 5

Again we combine the like terms:

4y = 6

(because 5 + 1 = 6)

Now we have to send the 4 to the other side because we need to get the y value. (when we send it to the other sidr it will be divided)

y = 6/4

and we simplify:

y = 3/2

And we cannot simplify or do anything else. So that is the answer.

Hope that helped!
