Answer: B. Macmillan, because firms that face stiff competition at home tend to do better abroad

Explanation:

Following the information given, it can be deduced that Oceanic should invest in Macmillan, because firms that face stiff competition at home tend to do better abroad.

The fact that Macmillan, which is an air-conditioner manufacturer, faces intense pressure from its home market will have resulted in the company making quality sure conditioners in order to sustain the pressure and have an edge over its local competitors. Therefore, the company will do better abroad as a result of this.

The correct option is B.

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.33 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.00, $2.08, $2
klasskru [66]

Answer:

arithmetic average growth rate = (4% + 3.37% + 5.12% + 3.1%) / 4 = 3.9%

we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:

stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)

  • expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.039 = $2.42
  • stock price = $55
  • growth rate = 0.039

55 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.039)

RRR - 0.039 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044

RRR = 0.083 = 8.3%

geometric average growth rate = [(1.04 x 1.0337 x 1.0512 x 1.031)¹/⁴] - 1 = 3.89%

again we need to find the required rate or return (RRR) in the following formula:

stock price = expected dividend / (RRR - growth rate)

  • expected dividend = $2.33 x 1.0389 = $2.42
  • stock price = $55
  • growth rate = 0.0389

55 = 2.42 / (RRR - 0.0389)

RRR - 0.0389 = 2.42 / 55 = 0.044

RRR = 0.0829 = 8.29%

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $84,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you an apr of 6.6 percent fo
Margaret [11]

Answer: The monthly payment will be $2007.81.

We have:

Cost of the sports coupe (PV)                     $84,500

Annual Percentage Rate (APR)                         6.6%

Loan tenure in months (n)                                    48

We can find the monthly payment by using the Present value of an annuity formula:

\mathbf{PV_{Annuity}= PMT * \left ( \frac{1-(1+r)^{-n}}{r} \right )}

Since APR is a yearly number, we need to convert it into a monthly rate.

So , r = \frac{0.066}{12} = 0.0055

Plugging values in the PV formula above we get,

\mathbf{84500 = PMT * \left ( \frac{1-(1+0.0055)^{-48}}{0.0055} \right )}

\mathbf{84500 = PMT * \left ( \frac{1-0.768529253}{0.0055} \right )}

\mathbf{84500 = PMT * \left ( \frac{0.231470747}{0.0055} \right )}

\mathbf{84500 = PMT * 42.08559028}

\mathbf{\frac{84500}{42.08559028}= PMT}

\mathbf{PMT = 2007.813112}
