Answer:

Percentage of total return is -7.87

Dividend yield is 2.47%

Explanation:

Rate of return is the rate of income earned during the period in which the investment is held. It includes any income in the form of dividend and price difference.

Dividend received = $2.15

Price difference = Current price  - Initial Price = $78 - $87 = -9

Rate of return = ( ( Dividend received + Price change ) / Initial price ) x 100

Rate of return =  ( ( $2.15 + (-9) ) / 87 ) x 100

Rate of return  = ( -6.85 / $87 ) x 100

Rate of return = -7.87%

Dividend Yield = Dividend / Current Stock price = $2.15 / $87 = 0.0247 = 2.47%

Assume that Bolton Company will pay a $2.00 dividend per share next year, an increase from the current dividend of $1.50 per sha
Gwar [14]

Answer:

None of the options are correct as the price today will be $26.786

Explanation:

The price of a stock whose dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate forever can be calculated using the constant growth model of the dividend discount model approach (DDM). The DDM bases the value of a stock on the present value of the future expected dividends from the stock.

The formula for price under constant growth model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

  • D1 is the dividend expected for the next period
  • r is the required rate of return or cost of equity
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

However, as the constant growth rate in dividends is to be applied from Year 2 onwards, we will use the D2 to calculate the price at Year 1 and we will then discount this further for one year to calculate the price today.

P1 or Year1 price  =  2 * (1+0.05) / (0.12 - 0.05)

P1 or Year 1 price = $30

The price of the stock today or P0 will be,

P0 = 30 / (1+0.12)

P0 = $26.786

Suppose the economy is in long-run equilibrium. Then because of corporate scandal, in- ternational tensions, and loss of confide
dsp73

Answer:

The answer is: b

Explanation:

In long-run equilibrium, the long run aggregate demand curve and aggregate supply curve intersect where the marginal revenue (revenue derived from selling an additional unit) and marginal cost (cost incurred from producing) an additional unit) are equal.  In the long-run equilibrium, this intersection occurs at the lowest point of the long-run average total cost curve (curve depicting the average cost per unit of production).

Holding all else constant, short run changes in the economy would not change the potential output levels. The long-run aggregate supply curve would remain fixed at the potential level of output. However, these changes: international tensions, corporate scandals and loss of confidence in policymakers would cause shifts in the aggregate demand curve since demand would be adversely affected.

Consumer confidence is the perspective or outlook that consumers have on the state of the economy. The destabilising factors given in this scenario would raise the levels of uncertainty and perceived risk, reducing the confidence levels of consumers and ultimately resulting in reduced demand. In long-run equilibrium, when demand is reduced, it is indicated by a leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

$570,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much is Mystery, Inc. able to borrow (in total) if each bond is sold at 95% of par

Using this formula

Total Amount borrowed=Bonds*Face value*95% of par

Let plug in the formula

Total Amount borrowed=800*$750*0.95

Total Amount borrowed=$570,000

Therefore the amount the Mystery, Inc. will be able to borrow (in total) if each bond is sold at 95% of par is $570,000
