Answer: C. Jill should focus on the business market and license the natural gas rights.

Explanation:

Option C is indeed the right answer. Focusing on the Business Market will get her a better deal because larger companies will be involved.

It would be very advantageous to license the rights as there will be various bids for the license with the largest bid getting it and only for a period of time.

Going with this option can get Jill a better deal all round.

Answer:

C) Jill should focus on the business market and license the natural gas rights.

Explanation:

Oil and gas companies are usually very large corporations that have tons of money simply because the process to obtain either natural gas or oil is extremely expensive and costs millions. It is a very complex process that starts with upstream activities (oil or gas exploration and prospecting, preparing the rig site, start to drill, then testing the site, fracking techniques for extracting gas) and downstream activities (production and recycling of fracking fluids, storing and transporting gas, distribution processes). Each stage costs millions, that is why many oil and gas companies are considered regional monopolies due to the high costs.

Unless Jill has a ranch as a hobby and has many millions in a bank account, he should probably license the exploitation rights to a large corporation that can carry it out. He will still make a lot of money (average royalty rights are 12.5%), since total revenues are very high.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

25th house's Marginal cost is $250,000.

Explanation:

Given:

Total cost of 24 houses = $4,800,000

Total cost of 25 houses = $5,050,000

Marginal cost = ?

Computation of marginal cost:

Marginal cost = Change in total cost

Marginal cost = Total cost of 25 houses - Total cost of 24 houses

Marginal cost = $5,050,000 - $4,800,000

Marginal cost = $250,000

So, we say that 25th house's marginal cost will be $250,000 .

Assume that at the end of the next year, Company A will pay a $2.00 dividend per share, an increase from the current dividend of
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The  value of the stock is $28.57

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Dividend paid at the end of the year, D1 = $2.00 per share

Increase in dividend = $1.50 per share

Growth rate, g = 5% = 0.05

Required rate of return = 12% = 0.12

Now,

Price with constant Dividend Growth model = D1 ÷ ( r - g )

= $2 ÷ ( 0.12 - 0.05 )

= $28.57

Hence,

The  value of the stock is $28.57
