Answer:

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of DDM we calculate the price of a stock today which is expected to pay a dividend which increases at a constant rate through out. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return or cost of equity
  • g is the constant growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available values in the formula, we calculate r to be,

74.11 = 4.63 / (r - 0.0375)

74.11 * (r - 0.0375) = 4.63

74.11r - 2.779125 = 4.63

74.11r = 4.63 + 2.779125

r = 7.409125 / 74.11

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%

I feel that the answer would be C as that would give it the most time to grow and build, but I have heard many times that IRA's can be better as far as tax. I would go with C, unless your class has specifically been leaning about IRA's.

inysia [295]

Answer: Air travel is a normal good and vacation travel by car is an inferior good

Explanation: What is a normal good and what is an inferior good.

Normal goods are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer income rises. While inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when consumer income decreases.

This therefore means that the demand of inferior goods is inversely related to the income of the consumer.

From the question above, we can say that car trips are inferior goods while the air travel are normal goods.

What strategy did president roosevelt use to restore america's confidence in government and the private banking system?
Klio2033 [76]

The strategy used by president Roosevelt to restore America's confidence in government and the private banking system was that, he reassured fireside talks on the radio.

Roosevelt fought to expand the role of the federal government in the nation's economy, and also embraced Keynesian economic policies. He also implemented a series of projects and programs called the New Deal to stabilize the economy.

Roosevelt called his radio talks about issues of public concern as fireside talks. These talks made Americans feel as if President Roosevelt was talking directly to them. He continued to use fireside talks throughout his presidency to address the fears and concerns of the Americans

Hence, these talks gave confidence to the American people to overcome their fears.
