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%

A. by how much will gdp change if firms increase their investment by $11 billion and the mpc is 0.9?
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The answer is <u>"$110 billion".</u>

Explanation:

Firms increase their investment by $11 billion

mpc = 0.9

gdp = ?

To find the gdp, first we have to find expenditure multiplier;

we will find that by using the formula;

expenditure multiplier = 1/(1-0.9) = 1/0.1 = 10

Now gdp = 10 x $11 billion

= $110 billion

Thus the <u>gdp is $110 billion.</u>
