Answer:
-0.136 and $528
Explanation:
Given that
p = 50 - 0.5Q
where,
Q = 88
So, p equals to
= 50 - 0.5 × 88
= 50 - 44
= $6
As it is mentioned that
p = 50 - 0.5Q
0.5Q = 50 - p
Q = 100 - 2p
And we know that
Price elasticity of demand is
= Percentage Change in quantity demanded ÷ Percentage Change in price
So,
= -2 × (6 ÷ 88)
= -0.136
And, the revenue is
= Price × Quantity
= $6 × 88
= $528
Answer: D) Project A is better than project B for this company at this point in time.
Explanation:
Option D is the best option because we do not know that the basis for the scoring model directly translates to earnings. The scoring of Project A at 30 does not necessarily mean that it's expected to earn those amounts of revenue and therefore triple that of Project C. We do not know because the information is not complete.
What we do know is that A has the highest score out of all projects and this is why it is better to do Project A as opposed to Project B.
Answer: 0.9
Explanation:
The Expected Return on an investment can be calculated using the Dividend Discount Model as it is a key component in thw formula which is,
P = D1 / r - g
where,
D1 is the dividend paid next year
P is the current stock price
g is the growth rate
r is the expected return
With the given figures we have,
84 = 4.20 / r - 0.08
84 ( r - 0.08) = 4.20
r - 0.08 = 4.20/84
r = 4.20/84 + 0.08
r = 0.13
The Expected Return can be slotted into the CAPM formula to find the beta.
The CAPM formula calculates the Expected Return in the following manner,
Er = Rf + b( Rm - rF)
Where,
Er is expected return
Rf is the risk free rate
Rm is the market return
b is beta
Slotting in the figures gives,
0.13 = 0.04 + b( 0.14 - 0.04)
0.13 = 0.04 + b (0.1)
0.13 - 0.04 = 0.1b
b = 0.09/0.1
b = 0.9
Using the constant-growth DDM and the CAPM, the beta of the stock is 0.9
