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%

How can a firm increase the life of a product without involving product changes? a. reintroduction b. product extension c. new p
Vitek1552 [10]

When a firm is experiencing lesser profit it can come up with different strategy to improve its present product rather than developing new product because improving present product involves lesser cost therefore more profit. The answer is B. Product Extension and C. New product placement.

Reintroduction is one way, it is launching the product using more creative sales and marketing strategy. It can target a new market segment, provide more information about the product and use more appealing advertisements. The product’s packaging can also be changed to make it look more attractive and fresh.

Product extension can be use as it is targeting a new market. It can involve exporting the products. This strategy may be costly but when successful will level up your product’s quality as it passed exporting quality. It is changing the market NOT the product.

New product Placement is a strategy where in the products are advertised by placing it in media. The products are shown for example in movies, the character uses the products that way it can give awareness to the viewers how the products can be used and also the brand and name of the products are advertised without direct reference to the product. It doesn’t involve changing the product’s feature only the product placement is changed to a new one.

<span>Rebranding can also be used. It is introducing your product with a new name, changing the product’s name not only its packaging but the total appearance. It gives the product a whole new image to target new image audience or expand its audience.</span>

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The portfolio beta is 1.2

Explanation:

Portfolio Beta is the average bet of the all investments in portfolio. This beta is calculated on the basis of weightage of each investment in the portfolio.

Portfolio Beta = ( Beta of Stock Q x Weightage of Stock Q ) + ( Beta of Stock R x Weightage of Stock R ) + ( Beta of Stock S x Weightage of Stock S ) + ( Beta of Stock T x Weightage of Stock T )

Portfolio Beta = ( 0.69 x 25% ) + ( 1.76 x 20% ) + ( 1.61 x 20% ) + ( 1.02 x 35% )

Portfolio Beta = 0.1725 + 0.352 + 0.322 + 0.357 = 1.2035

Otrada [13]

The answer to the question is poor planning.

ABC grocery store’s profits have been dropping significantly due to the wrong direction that many departments of the stores are pursuing. It can be assumed that poor coordination and miscommunication causes these stores to work on targets that the owner actually does not prioritize. This is apparent from how the owner realized that she didn’t provide enough direction to the managers in regards to her expectations for how these stores should operate.
