Answer:

The required rate of return is 16%

Explanation:

The constant growth model of the DDM is used whenever the dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate in the future forever. The formula for the constant growth model to calculate the price of the share today is,

P0 = D1 / r-g

Where D1 is dividend next year or D0 *(1+g)

r is the required rate of return

g is the growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available variables, we can calculate the required rate of return (r).

18.22 = 2.4 * (1+0.025) / r - 0.025

18.22 * (r-0.025) = 2.46

18.22r - 0.4555 = 2.46

18.22r = 2.46 + 0.4555

r = 2.9155 / 18.22

r = 0.1600 or 16.00%

Westkost [7]

Answer:

D) 13%

Explanation:

Calculation for the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments

First step is to find the balance amount of the share price using this formula

Share price =(End of the year Share price + End of the year dividend)-Start of the year Share price

Let plug in the formula

Share price =($29.00+$0.56)-$26.20

Share price =$29.56-$26.20

Share price =$3.36

Second step is to find the rate of return of investments

Using this formula

Rate of return of investments= Share price/Start of the year Share price

Rate of return of investments

Let plug in the formula

Rate of return of investments=$3.36/$26.20

Rate of return of investments=0.13*100

Rate of return of investments=13%

Therefore the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this perio will be 13%

Due to a mild winter, Florida experienced a bumper crop of oranges. This would best be represented by a(n) movement down the U.S
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

movement up the U.S. production possibility frontier.

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPF is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.  

Point outside the curve or to the right of the curve means that the production level is not attainable given the level of resources

Points inside the production possibilities curve means that the nations resources are not being fully utilised

Factors that cause the PPF to shift  

1. changes in technology.  

2. changes in available resources.  

3. changes in the labour force.

Due to the winter, there would be a movement up along the PPF
