Answer:

Monopolist can charge a higher price from women.

Explanation:

A monopolist is producing 100,000 units of a product.  

The price of the product is $5 per unit.  

The price elasticity of demand for men at this price is -3.5.

The price elasticity for women, on the other hand, is -0.8.

This means that the men have a relatively elastic demand for the product. While on the other hand, women have relatively inelastic demand. This implies that if the price is increased the demand from women will not change by a greater proportion.  

While demand from men can change to a greater proportion because of a change in price.  

In this situation, the firm can charge a higher price from women. This is an example of third-degree price discrimination.

Microsoft presently pays no dividend. You anticipate Microsoft will pay an annual dividend of $0.60 per share two years from tod
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The value of this stock today should be $6.22

Explanation:

The company will start paying dividends 2 years from today that is at t=2. The dividends received 2 years from today can be denoted as D2. The constant growth model of DDM will be used to calculate the price of this stock at t=2 as the growth rate in dividends is constant forever.

The price at t=2 will then be discounted back to its present value today to calculate the price of this stock today.

The price of this stock at t=2 will be,

P2 = D2 * (1+g) / (r - g)

P2 = 0.6 * (1+0.04)  /  (0.12 - 0.04)

P2 = $7.8

The value of this stock today should be,

P0 = 7.8 / (1+0.12)^2

P0 = $6.218 ROUNDED OFF TO $6.22
