Answer:

In that country, the productivity of the average worker

  • C) increased by 6.25 percent between 1998 and 2008.

Which of the following statements best describes the scenario?

  • A) This is a common occurrence. The policymaker knows the best policy but chooses not to institute it for other reasons.

Explanation:

worker productivity in 1998 = 40 units / 25 hours = 1.6 units per hour

worker productivity in 2008 = 68 units / 40 hours = 1.7 units per hour

therefore, worker productivity increased by (1.7 - 1.6) / 1.6 = 0.0625 or 6.25%

Regarding the second question, this happens all the time. Politicians live in an alternate reality world, they choose to believe that their ideas are facts and that everyone else doesn't know better about any topic in the world. And this doesn't only happen to Trump, it happens everywhere and in every single country.

Answer:

$28,216

Explanation:

The computation of the minimum amount that you will accept today i.e present value is shown below:

Year            Cash flows          Discount factor                Present value

1                   $10,000.00 0.9259259259           $9,259.26

2                  $11,000.00         0.8573388203           $9,430.73

3                  $12,000.00 0.793832241                   $9,525.99

Total present value                                                          $28,215.97

The discount factor should be computed by  

= 1 ÷ (1 + rate)^years

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The stock price is $31.14

Explanation:

The value of Brickhouse stock today is the present values of future cash flows from the stock discounted using the required rate of return of 10.7% as the discount  rate as done below:

Years               cash flows  discount factor                        Present values

1                            $2.85     1/(1+10.7%)^1=0.903342367        $2.57

2                            $2.34    1/(1+10.7%)^2=0.816027432         $1.91

3 & beyond          *$32.67  1/(1+10.7%)^2=0.816027432         $ 26.66  

                                                             total present values= $31.14

* the year 3 and beyond represents the terminal value of the stock,which is computed using the formula below

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

D2 is the year dividend of $2.34

g is the dividend growth rate of 3.3%

r is the required rate of return which 10.7%

terminal value=$2.34*(1+3.3%)/(10.7%-3.3%)

                        =2.41722 /0.074 =$32.67
