Answer:

1. The dividend per share in year 2 would be $2.16.

The dividend per share in year 3 would be $2.3328

2. The market value of the firm is $50 million

3. The value of the firm next year after the payout is $ 54

Explanation:

1. In order to calculate the dividend per share in year 2 and the dividend per share in year 3 we would have to make the following calculation:

dividend per share in year 2=dividend per share in year 1*(1+Growth Rate)

dividend per share in year 1=$2

Growth Rate=Retention Ratio * ROE

Growth Rate=40% * 20%

Growth Rate=8%

Therefore, dividend per share in year 2=$2*(1+8%)

dividend per share in year 2=$2.16

dividend per share in year 3=dividend per share in year 2*(1+Growth Rate)

dividend per share in year 3=$2.16(1´8%)

dividend per share in year 3=$2.3328

2. In order to calculate the current market value of the firm we would have to make the following calculation:

market value of the firm=Currect Share Price * Number of outstanding shares

According to the given data:

Currect Share Price=$50

Number of outstanding shares=1 million shares

market value of the firm=$50*1 million shares

market value of the firm=$50 million

3. In order to calculate the value of the firm next year after the payout we would have to calculate first the rate of return as follows:

value of the firm =dividend per share in year 1/rate  of return-growth rate

$50* Rate of Return - 4 = $2

Rate of Return = 6 / 50

Rate of Return =12%

Therefore, value of the firm next year after the payout=dividend per share in year 2/rate  of return-growth rate

value of the firm next year after the payout=$2.16/0.12-0.08

value of the firm next year after the payout=$ 54

Alabama and Mississippi each have 9 units of labor. They can use their units of labor for the production of chickens and cotton.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

As it is given that

1. For each unit of labor, Alabama will generate 3 units of chicken.

Thus Alabama can produce a maximum of 27 units of chicken with 9 units of labor.

2. With every unit of labor, Alabama will generate 7 units of cotton.

Thus Alabama can produce a maximum of 63 units of cotton with 9 units of labor.

For each unit of labor,  Mississippi will generate 4 units of chicken.

Therefore Mississippi can produce a maximum of 36 units of chicken with 9 units of labor.

For each unit of labor, Mississippi will produce 6 units of cotton.

While Mississippi can produce up to 54 units of cotton with 9 units of labor.

Alabama could be seen producing more cotton than Mississippi using all the labor while using all the labor Mississippi can produce more chicken than Alabama.

Hence,

For producing chicken, Mississippi has the absolute advantage

For producing cotton,  Alabama has the absolute advantage

Now

Albama's opportunity cost for generating a chicken unit is

= (7 ÷ 3)

= 2.33 units of cotton.

Albama's opportunity cost for generating a cotton unit is

= (3 ÷ 7)

= 0.43 units of chicken.

Mississippi's opportunity cost for generating a chicken unit is

= (6 ÷ 4)

= 1.50 units of cotton.

Mississippi's opportunity cost of generating a cotton unit is

=  (4 ÷ 6)

=  0.67 units of chicken

Therefore

Alabama can produce cotton relatively to Mississippi at a  lower cost of opportunity.

In comparison with Alabama, Mississippi can produce chicken at lower opportunity costs.

Hence, we can conclude that

Mississippi has a competitive advantage for chicken production.

Alabama has a competitive advantage in cotton production.

Mississippi is supposed to grow chicken and Alabama is supposed to make cotton.

If the monthly income of the IBM employees follows a SYMMETRICAL NORMAL distribution, with a median of $5000 and a standard devi
AURORKA [14]

Answer:  mean monthly income = $5000

====================================================

Explanation

In any normal distribution, the median and mean are the same value.

-------------

The proof is as follows:

If mean > median was the case, then the distribution would be skewed to the right (ie positively skewed). The right tail is pulled longer than the left tail. But this would contradict the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean > median must not be the case.

If mean < median, then the distribution would be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). Visually this pulls the left tail longer than the right tail. Like in the previous paragraph, this contradicts the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean < median must not be the case.

Since mean > median cannot be true, and neither can mean < median, this must indicate mean = median.

-------------

So in short, any symmetrical distribution always has mean = median and they are at the very center of the distribution.
