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

A and B are complementary angles. If A = (x – 23)° and m
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

∠ B = 85°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles sum to 90° , then

x - 23 + 2x + 29 = 90 , that is

3x + 6 = 90 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3x = 84 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 28

Then

∠ B = 2x + 29 = 2(28) + 29 = 56 + 29 = 85°

the sides of a triangular birdcage are consecutive intergers if tge perimeter is 114 cm what is tge length of each side
alexandr402 [8]
Let:
x = first consecutive integer (or first side of △)
x + 1 = second consecutive integer (or second side of △)
x + 2 = third consecutive integer (or third side of △)

The formula for a perimeter of △ is simply the addition of three sides (or length). Since the given perimeter is 114 cm,
x + x+1 + x+2 = 114
3x + 3 = 114
3x = 114 - 3
3x = 111
x = 111 /3 = 37 cm
The three sides are 37 cm, 38 cm, and 39 cm.
