Answer:

1.54%

Explanation:

Return on the stock is the sum of the appreciation in the price of stock and dividend received from the stock.

First we need to calculate the rate of return

Rate of Return = (Final Price - Initial Price + Dividend) / Initial Price

Rate of Return = ($64.25 - $62.30 + ( $738/500 shares) ) / $62.3

Rate of Return = 0.055 = 5.5%

Use following formula to calculate the real rate of return

1 + Nominal Rate = ( 1 + real rate ) x ( 1 + Inflation rate )

1 + 5.5% = ( 1 + real rate ) x ( 1 + 3.9% )

1.055 = ( 1 + real rate ) x 1.039

1 + real rate = 1.055 / 1.039

1 + real rate = 1.0154

real rate = 1.0154 - 1

real rate = 0.0154 = 1.54%

Which of the following comes after a period of recession in the business cycle? A. Stagflation B. A drought C. A boom D. Recover
morpeh [17]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks what comes after the period of recession in the business cycle.

<h3>Answer: D). Recovery</h3>

The reason why answer choice "D). Recovery" is correct because this comes after the period of recession in the business cycle.

Recession is like a "slow down" in the activity of a business. Which means that they aren't receiving any income, GDP, investments, and etc. This would cause a business to decrease while a lot of expenses that the business is getting are increasing. By expensive, I mean the cost to keep the business running and things of that sort.

Businesses go through a time of recession; therefore, they need to "recover" from that. And that's why recovery is the next stage. A business must recover from the "recession" period if they want to keep the business up and running. If the business doesn't recover, then the business will fail.

Once the business can recover from the recession period, then the business can succeed in their plans and execute them, while seeing the profits that they expected to make.

<h3>I hope this helps!</h3><h3>Best regards, MasterInvestor</h3>

Juanita and Sam attend a beach party and notice that the local beach appears to have a great deal more trash washed up on shore
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The answer is talking to a local environmental group for solutions.

Explanation:

This option is the best one for Juanita and Sam to take since they both need someone who have more expertise in this field to help them determine the best solution to the problem that they encounter, which is sea trash. The other options are unsuitable because they do not provide direct impact (such as picketing the guilty factory), unrealistic (lobbying their elected representatives), or have been done (identifying the changes and problem).
