Explanation:

Sales is very crucial element for any business. The declining sales at gents clothing brand has created a problem for business managers. The declining sales will results in many problems like, inventory obsolete issues, lesser profits, increase cost and similar. The main reason for declining sales could be change in fashion or trend. Gents clothing is very much impacted by celebrities. If some popular celebrity has changed its way of dressing the impact can be observed in entire fashion industry.

The expected return on Natter Corporation's stock is 14%. The stock's dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 8%, and

AysviL [449]

Answer:

d. The stock price is expected to be $54 a share one year from now.

Explanation:

Using dividend discount model(DDM), find next year's dividend;

P0 = D1/ (r-g)

50 = D1/(0.14-0.08)

50 = D1/ 0.06

Multiply both sides by 0.06 to solve for D1;

50 *0.06 = D1

3 = D1

Next, year's dividend is $3

Dividend yield = D1/P0;

= 3/ 50 = 0.06 or 6% hence choices A& B are incorrect.

Next year's price; P1 = P0(1+g)

P1 = 50(1.08) = $54 hence choice D is correct

You are considering the purchase of a certain stock. You expect to own the stock for the next four years. The current market pri

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The answer is: The expected rate of return from this investment is 26.68%

Explanation:

We are given the following cash flows for this operation:

Initial investment = -$24.50
Cash flow 1 = $1.25 (dividend year 1)
Cash flow 2 = $1.35 (dividend year 2)
Cash flow 3 = $1.45 (dividend year 3)
Cash flow 4 = $56.55 ($1.55 dividend year 4 + $55 stock's sales price)

Using an excel spreadsheet and the IRR function:

=IRR(value 1: value 5) =26.68%

where

value 1 = -24.50
value 2 = 1.25
value 3 = 1.35
value 4 = 1.45
value 5 = 56.55

The determinants of aggregate demand Multiple Choice explain shifts in the aggregate demand curve. explain why the aggregate dem

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

shifts in the demand curve

Explanation:

Aggregate demand is total value of goods and services demanded at a particular time in an economy. It indicate goods and services that will be bought at different prices.

The determinants of aggregate demand are factors that could cause shift in aggregate demand curve either to the left or right. A shift in aggregate demand curve to the right means an increase in quantity demand while a shift to the left means a decrease in quantity demand at every price level.

The determinants are ;

Price of the goods - An increase in price of the goods itself will bring about shift in the demand curve to the left and vice versa

Consumer expectations- When consumers expect price of goods to be high, demand curve would shift to the right and vice versa.

Price of related goods- An increase in price of related or complementary good would cause the demand to either shift to the left or right.

Income of the buyers - Increase in come of buyers would shift the demand curve to the right and vice versa.

Taste or preference of consumers- When consumer's preference shift in favour of a product, demand for such product would increase thus shifting the demand curve to the right.

Suppose that the demand for steel in Japan is given by the equation Qd S = 1200 – 4PS + PA + PT, where QS is the quantity of ste

timurjin [86]

Answer: See explanation below for answer.

Explanation:

a) In equilibrium the quantity supplied will equal the quantity demanded in all three markets. Algebraically this implies:

Qd S = Qs S

Qd A = Qs A

Qd T = Qs T

Substituting in the given curves implies:

1200 - 4PS + PA + PT = 4PS

1200 - 4PA + PS + PT = 4PA

1200 - 4PT + PS + PA = 4PT

Solving the first equation for PT and substituting into the second equation implies:

1200 - 4PA + PS + (8PS - PA - 1200) = 4PA

9PS = 9PA

Cancel 9 on both sides, we have:

=> PS = PA

Substituting these results into the third equation implies:

1200 - 4(8PA - PA - 1200) + PA + PA = 4(8PA - PA - 1200)

=> 10800 = 54PA

=> PA = 200

At:

PA = 200

PS = 200

PT = 200

The equilibrium quantities are:

QA = 800

QS = 800

QT = 800

b) Substituting the new supply curve for steel into the equilibrium condition, we have:

1200 - 4PS + PA + PT = PS

1200 - 4PA + PS + PT = 4PA

1200 - 4PT + PS + PA = 4PT

Again solving for PT in the first equation and substituting into the second equation, we have:

1200 - 4PA + PS + (5PS - PA - 1200) = 4PA

=> 6PS = 9PA

=> PS = 1.5PA

Substituting these results into the third equation, we have:

1200 - 4(5(1.5PA) - PA - 1200) + 1.5PA + PA = 4(5(1.5PA) - PA - 1200)

=> 10800 = 49.5PA

=> PA = 218.18

At:

PA = 218.18

PS = 327.27

PT = 218.18

At these prices, the equilibrium quantities are:

QA = 872.72

QS = 327.27

QT = 872.72

The shift in the supply of steel raises the equilibrium price for all three goods, lowering the equilibrium quantity of steel and raising the equilibrium quantities of aluminum and titanium. This last effect comes as a result of the demand curves for aluminum and titanium increasing in response to the shift in the steel supply curve.

c) Returning to the original equilibrium, this shift in the demand for aluminum implies:

1200 - 4PS + PA + PT = 4PS

1500 - 4PA + PS + PT = 4PA

1200 - 4PT + PS + PA = 4PT

Solving the first equation for PT and substituting into the second equation, we have:

1500 - 4PA + PS + (8PS - PA - 1200) = 4PA

=> 9PS + 300 = 9PA

=> PS = PA - 33.33

Substituting these results into the third equation, we have:

1200 - 4(8(PA - 33.33) - PA - 1200) + (PA - 33.33) + PA = 4(8(PA - 33.33) - PA - 1200)

=> 12900 = 54PA

=> PA = 238.89

At:

PA = 238.89

PS = 205.56

PT = 205.56

At these prices, the equilibrium quantities are:

QA = 955.56

QS = 822.24

QT = 822.24

An increase in the demand for aluminum will raise the equilibrium prices and quantities in all three markets. The price and quantity in the steel and aluminum industries increase because as the price of aluminum rises, the demand for steel and titanium increases.
