Answer:

$3,621.96

Explanation:

ROE = Net income/Equity * 100

ROE = 5846/48860*100

ROE = 11.9648%

Dividend payout ratio = 35%

Retention Ratio = 1 - 35% = 65%

Sustainable growth rate = (ROE*b)/(1-ROE*b)

Sustainable growth rate = (11.9648%*0.65)/(1- (11.9648%*0.65%))

Sustainable growth rate = 8.43%

Therefore, Maximum Dollar Increase in sales = Sales * Sustainable growth rate = 42,950 * 8.43% = $3,621.96

Ricardian equivalence means that:
kati45 [8]

Answer:

changes in private savings offset any changes in the government deficit

Explanation:

Ricardian equivalence means that private saving changes offset any changes in the government budget. Therefore, if the deficit increases by 30, private saving also increases by 30 but the trade deficit and the budget deficit will not change.

In case of the Ricardian equivalence, economic agents are assumed to be perfectly rational. According to them, higher taxes are required to repay the debt in case of an increase in deficit-financed government spending.

A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $2,100 each year in a savings plan that earns 7% interest. In 10 years th
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

310,588.5

Explanation:

As is not said we can assume the 2,100 each year to be paid at the end of the year, and the 7% to be used as a compunded anually rate. So let´s first think just about the 2,100, as they are regulary payments, they can be seen as an anuity inmediate, the formula is as follows:

s_{n}=p*\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1 }{i}

where sn is the future value of the regular payments, i is the interest rate and n is the number of payments and p is the amount of regular payment so in this particular case we have:

s_{n}=2,100*\frac{(1+0.07)^{30}-1 }{0.07}

s_{n}==198,367.65

So now let´s think on the gift of 29,000 as it is paid on 10 years, there will remain 20 years with an investment rate of 7% compounded anually. so there we have the classic formula of future value

FV=VP*(1+i)^{n}

where FV is the future value, PV is the present value, i is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods. Again in this particular case we have:

FV=29,000*(1+0.07)^{20}

FV=112,220.85

so the total amont will be:

total=198,367.65+112,220.85

total=310,588.5
