Answer:

r = 0.075 or 7.5%

Option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that the investors require on a stock based on the risk associated with that stock. To calculate the required rate of return on a preferred stock, we divide the dividend provided by the preferred stock by the market price of the stock.

r = Dividend / Market Price

r = 6 / 80

r = 0.075 or 7.5%

When there is a technological advance in the ice cream industry, consumer surplus in that market will?
Nina [5.8K]

When there is a technological advance in the ice cream industry, consumer surplus in that market will increase.

Technology is the result of accumulated knowledge and the application of skills, methods, and processes used in industrial production and scientific research. Technology is embedded in the operation of all mechanical and electronic devices, with or without detailed knowledge of their function, for the intended purpose of an organization. The technology of society consists of so-called systems. A system works by taking input, modifying that input through what is called a process, and producing a result that achieves the intended purpose of the system.

The earliest and simplest form of technology is the development of knowledge leading to the application of basic tools. The prehistoric invention of carved stone tools and the discovery of ways to control fire increased the food sources available to humans. This led to mobile technologies that helped exchange information and raw materials more quickly. Humanity then proceeded to develop the printing press, telephones, computers, and the Internet.

You plan to save $2,400 a year and earn an average rate of interest of 5.6 percent. How much more will your savings be worth at
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

If the deposits are made at the beginning of the year, the future value will increase by $18,821.1.-

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual deposit= $2,400

Interest rate= 5.6%

Number of periods= 40

<u>First, we will calculate the future value when the deposits are made at the end:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,400*[(1.056^40) - 1]} / 0.056

FV= $336,091.14

<u>Now, if the deposits are made at the beginning:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}

FV= 336,091.14 + [(2,400*1.056^40) - 2,400]

FV= 336,091.14 + 18,821.10

FV= $354,912.24

Difference= 354,912.24 - 336,091.14

Difference= $18,821.1

If the deposits are made at the beginning of the year, the future value will increase by $18,821.1.-
