Answer:

a. Foreign Portfolio Investment

b. a. Provide tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences.

d. Protect property rights and enforce contracts.

Explanation:

This is an example of Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPI). Foreign portfolio investment is when an entity from a foreign country invests in another country by buying the shares of a company in the local country. The American company bought shares in Argentina so the qualifies as FPI.

To increase productivity companies that are pursuing research should be given patents and tax breaks. The tax breaks will enable them have more money to reinvest into the research and the patent will provide incentive to them to continue the research knowing full well that they will be compensated by being the only ones to be able to use the technology invented for some time.

Also protecting property rights and enforcing contracts encourages investment in a country because people will be more trusting of making a return from business dealings. Higher investment leads to more productivity and growth.

Sophie [7]

The price of the stock 19 years from now would be the present value of all the dividends to be paid starting year 20. Here, to compute the PV of the dividends, we can use the PV of perpetuity formula as the dividends will be paid for the infinite period of time.

Value of the stock after 19 years = Dividend year 20/ required return

= $20 / 0.0725

= $275.86

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

The following parameters are given for dividends of three years;

Year 1 = $497,000, Year 2 = $490,000 Year 3 = $524,000.

The number of shares= 48,000 of 7%, preferred stock = $100 par and 92,000 shares of $50 par common stock issued and outstanding.

Therefore,

Year one:

=> Amount Distributed = $497,000.

=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.

=> Common dividend = 497,000 - 336,000 = 161,000.

=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $ 7.

=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 161,000/ 92,000 shares =$ 1.75.

Year Two:

=> Amount Distributed = $490,000.

=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.

=> Common dividend = 490,000 - 336,000 = 113,000.

=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $ 7.

=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 113,000/ 92,000 shares =$1.23.

Year Three:

=> Amount Distributed = $524,000.

=> Preferred dividend = 48,000 × 7% × $100 = 336,000.

=> Common dividend = $524,000 - 336,000 = 188,000.

=> Preferred divided per share = 336,000/ 48,000 = $7.

=> Common dividend = Common dividend/ 92,000 shares = 188,000/ 92,000 shares =$2.04

A large life insurance company has decided to switch from using a strong fear appeal to a humorous approach. What are the streng

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A fear approach is meant to scare people and make them aware that they are only human and that bad things can happen. This would push them towards buying the insurance package. A humorous approach would focus more and a funny message of why it is important. This change would be targetting the same audience but with a completely opposite message which may not reach people the same way, especially if those individuals do not like the humor aspect of it and are not longer scared from the previous fear strategy that the company would have had.
