Answer:

a. 7.83 percent

Explanation:

This is calculated by using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula as follows:

P = d / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1)

Where;

P =  market price of the stock = $24.09

d = next year annual dividend = $1.26

r = cost of equity = ?

g = dividend growth rate = 2.6%, or 0.026

Substituting the values into equation and solve for r, we have:

24.09 = 1.26 / (r - 0.026)

24.09 (r - 0.026) = 1.26

24.09r - 0.62634 = 1.26

24.09r = 1.26 + 0.62634

24.09r = 1.88634

r = 1.88634 / 24.09

r = 0.0783038605230386, or 7.83038605230386%

Rounding to 2 decimal places. we have:

r = 7.83%

Therefore, the correct option is a. 7.83 percent.

Consider three investment plans at an annual rate of 9.38%.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Investor A = $545216 .

Investor B = $352377

Investor C = $897594

Explanation:

Annual rate ( r )  = 9.38%

N = 41 years

<u> Calculate the balance at age of 65</u>

1) For Investor A

balance at the end of 10 years

= $2000 (FIA, 9.38 %, 10) (1 + 0.0938) ≈ $33845

Hence at the end of 65 years ( balance )

= $33845 (FIP, 9.38 %, 31) ≈ $545216 .

2) For investor B

 at the age of 65 years ( balance )

= $2000 (FIP, 9.38%, 31) = $322159 x (1 + 0.0938) ≈ $352377

3) For Investor C

at the age of 65 years ( balance )

= $2000 (FIP, 9.38%, 41) = $820620 x (1 + 0.0938) ≈ $897594

kipiarov [429]

Answer: $155,520

Interest Cost

= Interest rate * Projected benefit obligation

= 0.09 * 728,000

Pension Expense = 110,000 - 30,000 + 10,000 + 65,520

= $155,520

McDonald's serves McRice Burger in Malaysia, McOZ Burger in Australia, Kiwi Burger in New Zealand, McHuevo Burger in Uruguay and
devlian [24]

The question is incomplete:

McDonald's serves McRice Burger in Malaysia, McOZ Burger in Australia, Kiwi Burger in New Zealand, McHuevo Burger in Uruguay and McSamurai Burger in Thailand. These menu variations are examples of a:

a. A combination of global and local marketing mix elements

b. a selection of menu items that can be sold eventually in U.S. markets

c. A replacement of standard menu names with fancy names

d. a deviation from successful marketing practices

e. a reflection of failure of US menu items in those countries

Answer:

a. A combination of global and local marketing mix elements

Explanation:

The answer is that these menu variations are examples of a combination of global and local marketing mix elements  because the company tries to position its products on a global scale but also adjusts its strategies locally to adapt the placement and distribution to the specific characteristics of each country.

The other options are not right because McDonalds is adjusting its offer in its market to be able to establish its position in that market and not to be able to sell the items in US markets or to replace standard menu names. Also, this is the result of analyzing how to better position in a new market and not a failure of US menu items in those countries.
