Lerok [7]

Answer:

current share price = $85.96

Explanation:

Find the PV of each dividend

PV= FV / (1+r)^t

r= required return

t= total duration

PV(D1) = 18 / (1.14)= 15.78947

PV(D2) = 14 / (1.14^2) = 10.77255

PV(D3) = 13 / (1.14^3) = 8.774630

PV(D4) = 7.50 / (1.14^4) = 4.44060

PV(D5 onwards) is a two-step process, first PV of growing perpetuity;

PV(D5 onwards) at yr4 =[7.50*(1+0.04) ] / (0.14-0.04) = 78

second, finding PV today ; PV(D5 onwards) at yr 0 = 78 / (1.14^4) = 46.18226

Add the PVs to get the current share price = $85.96

An increase in the price of cheese crackers from $2.25 to $2.45 per box causes suppliers of cheese crackers to increase their qu

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) "elastic, and the price elasticity of supply is 1.74"

Explanation:

Formula:

( (Qf - Qi) ÷ ((Qf + Qi) ÷ 2) ) ÷ ( (Pf - Pi) ÷ ((Pf + Pi) ÷ 2) )

Quantity Price

Lets remplace:

Qi = Initial Quantity = 125 boxes

Qf = Final Quantity = 145 boxes

Pi = Initial Price = $2.25

Pf= Final Price = $2.45

Quantity Price

(145 - 125) ÷ ((145 + 125) ÷ 2) ÷ (2.45-2.25) ÷ ((2.45+2.25)÷ 2)

= (20) ÷ (270÷ 2) = (0.2) ÷ (4.7 ÷ 2)

= 20 ÷ 135 = 0.2 ÷ 2.35

= 0.148 = 0.085

Finally: we divide the result of quantity into the result of price

= 0.148 ÷ 0.085

= 1.74

To classify into elastic or inelastic:

When Pes > 1, then supply is price elastic

When Pes < 1, then supply is price inelastic

When Pes = 0, supply is perfectly inelastic

Answer: <em>Elastic, and the price elasticity of supply is 1.74</em>
