Answer:

2.33 ; demand for movies is elastic

Explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of demand is presented below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 30 - 15

= 15

And, an average of quantity demanded is

= (30 + 15) ÷ 2

= 22.50

Change in price would be

= P2 - P1

= $8 - $6

= $2

And, the average of price is

= ($8 + $6) ÷ 2

= 7

So, after solving this, the price elasticity of demand is 2.33

Since it is not given by which method we have to calculate it. So, we use the mid point formula.

Based on the above calculation, we concluded that the demand for movies is elastic

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

What is the expected dividend yield for Portman's stock today?

d. 6.40%

Suppose Portman is considering issuing 62,500 new shares at a price of $26.78 per share. If the new shares are sold to outside investors, by how much will Judy's investment in Portman Industries be diluted on a per-share basis?

a. $0.52 per share

Thus, Judy's investment will be diluted, and Judy will experience a total loss of $0.52 x 7,500 = $3,900

Explanation:

cost of equity = Re = risk free rate of return + (Beta × market premium) = 5% + (0.90 x 6%) = 10.4%

dividend in one year = $1.68 x 120% = $2.016

intrinsic stock price = $2.016 / (10.4% - 4%) = $31.50

expected dividend yield = dividend / stock price = $2.016 / $31.50 = 6.4%

Judy's loss per share = ($31.50 - $26.78) x (62,500 / 562,500) = $0.5244
