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.

Received pesos = Exchange value of one U.S dollar for Mexican pesos  ÷ Exchange value of one U.S dollar for Mexican pesos

= 10.875 ÷ 6.205

= 1.753 pesos/krone

It shows a relationship between the Exchange value of one U.S dollar for Mexican pesos and the Exchange value of one U.S dollar for Mexican pesos so that per pesos/krone can come

Tin-Tin Waste Management, Inc., is growing rapidly. Dividends are expected to grow at rates of 30 percent, 35 percent, 25 percen
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The dividend for the current year (D0) is $2.15.

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Current dividend = D0

Next dividend = (1 + relevant growth rate) * Current dividend ........... (1)

Based on equation (1), we have:

D1 = (1 + 0.30) * D0 = 1.30D0

D2 = (1 + 0.35) * D1 = 1.35 * 1.30D0 = (1.35 * 1.30)D0 = 1.755D0

D3 = (1 + 0.25) * D2 = 1.25 * 1.755D0 = (1.25 * 1.755)D0 = 2.19375D0

D4 = (1 + 0.18) * D3 = 1.18 * 2.19375D0 = (1.18 * 2.19375)D0 = 2.588625D0

D5 = (1 + 0.07) * D4 = 1.07 * 2.588625D0 = (1.07 * 2.588625)D0 = 2.76982875D0

Using Gordon Growth stable formula, we have price in year 4 (P4) as follows:

P4 = D5/(required rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) ........ (2)

Substituting all the relevant values to equation (2), we have:

P4 = 2.76982875D0/(0.16 - 0.07)

P4 =2.76982875D0/0.09

P4 = 30.775875D0

Since the market price is the sum of all the present values of dividends from year 1 to 4 and P4, we have:

$47.85 = (D1 / (1 + required rate of return)^1) + (D2 / (1 + required rate of return)^2) + (D3 / (1 + required rate of return)^3) + (D4 / (1 + required rate of return)^4) + (P4 / (1 + required rate of return)^4) ...........(3)

Substituting all the relevant values to equation (3), we have:

$47.85 = (1.30D0 / 1.16^1) + (1.755D0 / 1.16^2) + (2.19375D0 / 1.16^3) + (2.588625D0 / 1.16^4) + (30.775875D0 / 1.16^4)

$47.85 = [(1.3 / 1.16^1) + (1.755 / 1.16^2) + (2.19375 / 1.16^3) + (2.588625 / 1.16^4) + (30.775875 / 1.16^4)]D0

$47.85 = 22.2572996535323D0

D0 = $47.85 / 22.2572996535323

D0 = $2.15

Therefore, the dividend for the current year (D0) is $2.15.
