On the basis of given information, I'll increase my production of nails.
Explanation:
The reason for increase in production of nails are as follow:
- The fact that overall market supply of nails will decrease by 2 % due to exit by the foreign competitors that means my competition will decrease and it will increase the market share for me.

These two facts show that it is good opportunity to increase the production as the demand has increased and competition has decreased.

Answer:
16.96%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 5.8% + 1.8 × (12% - 5.8%)
= 5.8% + 1.8 × 6.2%
= 5.8% + 11.16%
= 16.96%
The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium
Answer:
The maximum growth rate to my calculations is 8.32%, since it is closer to option E), I´d choose E) 8.37%
Explanation:
Hi, in order to find the growth rate given all the info of the problem, we need to use the following formula.

Where:
g = growth rate
b=retention ratio
R = return on equity
Since R = Earnings / Equity, and our dividend payout ratio (equals to 1 - b)our fromula changes to:

So, everything should look like this:

So, the growth rate is equal to 8.32% but this option is not available, therefore we´ll go for the closest one, that is E) 8.37%.
Best of luck.
