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%

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1. $275 million

Yes

2. 30%

Explanation:

Calculation for the NPV of the investment opportunity

NPV = –100 + 30/0.08

NPV= $275 million

Therefore the NPV will be $275 million

Yes, Based on the above Calculation they should make the investment

2. Calculation for IRR

IRR: 0 = –100 + 30/IRR

Hence,

IRR = 30/100

IRR = 30%

Therefore the IRR will be 30%

The IRR is great only in a situation where the cost of capital does not go beyond 30%.

Explain importance of office resources in points.​
xenn [34]

Answer:

A question is an utterance which typically functions as a request for information, which is expected to be provided in the form of an answer. Questions can thus be understood as a kind of illocutionary act in the field of pragmatics or as special kinds of propositions in frameworks of formal semantics such as alternative semantics or inquisitive semantics. Questions are often conflated with interrogatives, which are the grammatical forms typically used to achieve them. Rhetorical questions, for example, are interrogative in form but may not be considered true questions as they are not expected to be answered.
