Answer: Option D  

Explanation: In simple words, technology upgrading refers to the process in which a firm intensely changes the level of technology it is using for its operations. In such a process the organisation implements a more advanced technology so that it can enhance the operational activities within.

Technology up gradation is a necessity in today's competitive business environment but if implemented in a right way it can give an organisation a strong competitive advantage which will open new doors to success.

     For example automobile industries upgraded their technology to a higher level which made the operation at such a high scale that it became an oligopoly industry.

An oligopoly industry is the one in which there are few firms operating at a high scale with difficulty in entry due to heavy investments.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

$77.34

Explanation:

The computation of the current stock price is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

EPS for year 2 = Dividend at year 2 ÷ Payout Ratio

= $1.96 ÷  0.40

= $4.90

Now  the price at year 2 is

Price at year 2 ÷ EPS at year 2 = PE ratio

Price at year 2 ÷ $4.90 = 18.95

Price at year 2 = $92.855

Now finally the current stock price is

= Dividend at year 1  ÷ (1 + rate of interest) + Dividend at year 2 ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^2 + Price at year 2 ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^2

= $1.81 ÷ 1.119 + $1.96 ÷ 1.119^2 + $92.855 ÷ 1.119^2

= $77.34

Lelechka [254]

If investors assign a required rate of return of 12% to Zeta’s stock, the stock sell for today is $32.14.
