Answer:
a. 28.7 millions
b. 20.4 millions
c. 0.9231, or 92.31%
Explanation:
a. How much of the population is older than 16? million
Number of population older than 16 = Total population - Children under the age of 16 = 35.4 – 6.7 = 28.7 millions
b. What is the size of the labor force? million
Labour force = Employed + Unemployed = 18.5 + 1.9 = 20.4 millions
c. What is the labor force participation rate?
Working age population = Total population – Children under the age of 16 – Retirees = 35.4 – 6.7 – 6.6 = 22.1 millions
Labor force participation rate = Labor force ÷ Working age population = 20.4 ÷ 22.1 = 0.9231, or 92.31%

Answer: $32.05
Explanation:
Beta = 0.7
Dividend = $1.25
Growth rate = 4%
Risk free rate = 3%
Market return = 10%
Since, Required return = risk free rate + beta × (market rate - risk free rate)
We will then slot in the values and.this will be:
= 3% + 0.7 × (10% - 3%)
= 3% + (0.7 × 7%)
= 3% + 4.9%
=7.9%
The price of the stock will then be:
= D1/(Required return-Growth rate)
=1.25 / (0.079 - 0.04)
= 1.25 / 0.039
= $32.05
