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

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between points A and B.
irinina [24]

Answer:          

  Properties of a right tangle can be created in  a Coordinate Plane

  Distance between two points A and B are shown as below

Step-by-step explanation:

Find distance between two point using Pythagorean Theorem.

Properties of right triangles and creating right triangle as a coordinate Plane.

Suppose two point are drawn in triangle containing value of  (-2 , 4 ) and (-2, -2)

then

In (-2 , 4 ) and (-2,-2)

taking y-values that is  4 and -2

find difference between them such as

    4-(-2) = 6

Distance is (-2,4) is 6 unit from (-2,-2)

We can also find unit length of A and B

Side A:   (-1, 2) and (3,2)

      3-(-2)  = 5

side A is 5 unit in length

Side B : (-2,2) and (-2,-1)

      2 - (-1) = 3

Side B is 3 unit in length
