Answer:

the HHI index is $4,360

Explanation:

The computation of the HHI index is shown below:

= 10,000 × ($250,000 ÷ $1,390,000) ^2 + ($825,000 ÷ $1,390,000)^2 + ($315,000 ÷ $1,390,000)^2

= 10,000 × (0.032 + 0.352 + 0.051)

= $4,360

hence, the HHI index is $4,360

The $1,390,000 is the total of all three firms

And, the HHI index value is lied between from 0 to 10,000

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Only John's commission will be counted in the U.S.

Explanation:

When developing a job that generates income in St. Louis, it is considered that any sale you make because you are within the United States is taken into account within the GNP. For its part, the country that produced the car should consider it as GDP because it is part of the production carried out in a different jurisdiction.

An entrepreneur risks _______ in return for financial gain.
satela [25.4K]
I think what would fill that blank space would be failure due to the fact that something with his business may have gone wrong or a wrong transaction was made. But sometimes these things can actually be a major plus for them without them even realizing before they made the choice.

Assume a firm has a beta of 1.2. All else held constant, the cost of equity for this firm will increase if the: beta decreases.
eduard

Answer:

Risk-free rate decreases

Explanation:

The CAPM formula for calculating cost of equity requires one to know the value of 3 pieces of information only:

1. the market rate of return,

2. the beta value

3. the risk-free rate.

Ra = Rrf + [Ba∗(Rm−Rrf)]

where:

Ra=Cost of Equity

Rrf = Risk-Free Rate

Ba = Beta

Rm=Market Rate of Return

​From the formula

Ra = Rrf + [1.2∗(Rm−Rrf)]

Ra = Rrf + 1.2Rm - 1.2Rrf

From Ra = 1.2Rm -0.2Rrf

From the expression above, it can be seen that the lower the value of Rrf (Risk-Free rate), the higher the value of Ra.

The common stock of Eddie's Engines, Inc., sells for $37.73 a share. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $3.70 per share
Furkat [3]

Answer:

r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%

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 * (1+g) is dividend expected for the next period
  • g is the growth rate
  • r is the required rate of return   or market rate of return

Plugging in the values for P0, D1, and g, we can calculate the value of r or market rate of return on the stock to be,

37.73 = 3.70  /  (r - 0.058)

37.73 * (r - 0.058) = 3.7

37.73r - 2.18834 = 3.7

37.73r = 3.7 + 2.18834

r = 5.88834 / 37.73

r = 0.1560652001 or 15.60652001% rounded off to 15.61%
