Explanation:
Market power can be defined as the ability of a firm or a group of firms to increase the price above the competitive level and do not lose all the demand.
The firms in a perfectly competitive market have no market power because there are a number of firms in the market. If a firm increases the price, its demand will fall to zero.
In imperfect competition though, the firms enjoy a certain degree of market power.

Answer:
$500 gain and $185 tax
Explanation:
Sale of share = No. of NQOs × No. of shares × Selling price per share
= 10 × 10 × $20
= $2,000
Basis = No. of NQOs × No. of shares × share price @$15
= 10 × 10 × $15
= $1,500
Gain realised = Sale of share - Basis
= $2,000 - $1,500
= $500
The tax is calculated as follows:
= Gain realised × marginal tax rate
= $500 × 37%
= $185
Answer:
7.83%
Explanation:
This is calculated by using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula as follows: P = d / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1)
Where;
P = market price of the stock = $24.09
d = next year annual dividend = $1.26 r = cost of equity = ?
g = dividend growth rate = 2.6%, or 0.026
Substituting the values into equation and solve for r, we have:
24.09 = 1.26 / (r - 0.026)
24.09 (r - 0.026) = 1.26
24.09r - 0.62634 = 1.26
24.09r = 1.26 + 0.62634
24.09r = 1.88634
r = 1.88634 / 24.09
r = 0.0783038605230386, or 7.83038605230386%
Rounding to 2 decimal places. we have:
r = 7.83%
Therefore, the correct option is 7.83 percent.
Answer:
Total= $98,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You plan on saving for a large home improvement project using the following cash flows: $50,000 today, $25,000 next year, and $10,000 the following year. The account earns a 10% return per year.
We need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 50,000*1.10^2= 60,500
FV= 25,000*1.1= 27,500
FV= 10,000
Total= $98,000
