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%

Vonda and Aleiyah are shopping together at the mall for new jeans. Vonda is willing to pay $90 and Aleiyah is willing to pay $50
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

A. $60

Explanation:

Recall that, consumer's surplus refers to the price that a consumer is willing to pay less the amount he or she actually pays.

Thus

Consumer surplus = maximum price willing to pay - actual market price.

Given that

Market price = $40

Vonda is willing to pay = $90

Aleiyah is willing to pay = $50

Hence.

Vonda consumer surplus = 90 - 40

= $50

Aleiyah consumer surplus = 50 - 40

= $10.

Total consumer surplus = 50 + 10

= $60.
