Answer: C. The decline in the P/E ratio more than offset earnings growth and this pushed the market cap down.
Explanation:
Market Cap = P/E ratio * Earnings
Market cap is dependent on both the P/E ratio and Earnings as shown by the formula and as shown on the graph, the P/E ratio kept on decreasing which means that for the Market Cap to decrease, the downward pull of the P/E ratio must have overshadowed the growth in earnings such that the Market Cap went down instead of up.
For instance, if the earnings were $40 billion and the P/E ratio was 15, Market Cap would be $600 billion.
If earnings increased to $45 billion but P/E ratio decreased to 10, Market Cap would become $450 billion.
True, profits of a large corporation are taxed twice, once a corporate income and again as personal income of stockholders. This is because the corporation is taxed when they earn the profit but then the stockholders are taxed as it is paid out as income/earnings.
Answer: Positive.
Explanation:
Suppose there are two related goods, i.e, Good A and Good B.
Cross price elasticity of demand refers to the responsiveness of demand for Good A if there is a change in the price of its related good, i.e, Good B.
Now, we are talking about gasoline and public transportation, suppose if there is increase in the price of gasoline then it will be costlier for the people to drive their own cars, as a result demand for public transportation increases.
There is a positive relationship between the gasoline and public transportation.
Hence, cross-price elasticity of demand between gasoline and public transportation is Positive.
Answer:
The expected rate of return on this stock is 10.31%
Explanation:
The constangt growth model of the DDM approach is used to calculate the price of a share based on the edxpected future dividends from a stock that are growing at a constant rate. The formula for price using constant growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)
Plugging in the values,
65 = 1.7 * (1+0.075) / (r - 0.075)
65 * (r - 0.075) = 1.8275
65r - 4.875 = 1.8275
65r = 1.8275 + 4.875
r= 6.7025 / 65
r = 10.31% or 0.1031
