Answer: A. She believes the company has become riskier, and therefore increases her required rate of return for the stock.

Explanation:

The formula for the Constant dividend growth model of valuing stock is:

<em>= Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)</em>

From the formula above, one can tell that if the required return is higher, it would result in a lower value for stock because it would divide the numerator more.

If the analyst believes that the company is riskier and increases the required return, the value would therefore reduce if other measures are kept constant.

Consider the following demand schedule: Price Quantity Demanded $25 20 $20 40 $15 60 $10 80 What is the price elasticity of dema
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

3.05

1.38

0.725

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Arc elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

Price $25-$20

change in quantity demanded  = 40 - 20 = 20

average of both demands = (40 + 20) /2 = 30

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/30 = 0.67

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $25 - $20 = $5

average of both price = ($25 + $20) / 2 = 22.5

Price $20-$15

change in quantity demanded  = 60 - 40 = 20

average of both demands = (60 + 40) /2 = 50

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/50 = 0.4

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $20 - $15 = $5

average of both price = ($15 + $20) / 2 = 17.5

midpoint change in price = 5 / 17.5 = 0.29

0.4/0.29 = 1.38

Price elasticity of demand = 0.67 / 0.22 = 3.05

change in quantity demanded  = 80 - 60 = 20

average of both demands = (80 + 60) /2 = 70

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/70 = 0.29

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $15 - $10 = $5

average of both price = ($15 + $10) / 2 = 12.5

5/12.5 = 0.4
