Answer: -0.5

Explanation:

From the information given,

Demand curve = P = 600 – Q

Supply curve = P = 0.5Q

Equilibrium = Qd = Qs

Therefore, 600 - Q = 0.5Q

600 = Q + 0.5Q

600 = 1.5Q

Q = 600/1.5

Q = 400

Since P = 600 - Q

P = 600 - 400

P = 200

Price elasticity will be:

= (dQ/dP) × (P/Q)

=(-1) × (200/400).

= -1 × 0.5

= -0.5

The price elasticity is -0.5

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

P0 = $26.5925 rounded off to $26.59

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D0 * (1+g) / (r - g)

Where,  

D0 is the dividend paid  recently

D0 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period /year

g is the growth rate

r is the required rate of return or cost of equity

P0 = 2.69 * (1+0.038)  /  (0.143 - 0.038)

P0 = $26.5925 rounded off to $26.59
