Answer:
The correct answer is D. Profit is the financial gain from business activity minus expenses.
Explanation:
For example a company whose business activity is selling chairs has sold 10 chairs in a month at 10 dollars each which it has bought in 6 dollars (per chair). The company has incurred 5 dollars as admin expenses and had paid 10 dollars to commercial bank as interest. So what is company profit?
Calculation.
The profit will be 25$ as shown below.
Sales (10*10) 100
Purchase (10*6) (60)
Admin expense (5)
Financial expense (10)
Profit 25
Answer:
$190.64
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Current selling price of shares = $180 per share
Dividend paid = $10.18
Expected growth rate, g = 6% = 0.06
Required rate of return, r = 12% = 0.12
Now,
The dividend for the following year to the next year, D1 = $10.18 × (1 + g)ⁿ
here, n = 2 ( i.e the duration of next year and the following year )
thus,
D1 = $10.18 × (1 + 0.06)²
or
D1 = $11.438
Therefore,
Price of stock one year from now = 
= 
= 190.637 ≈ $190.64
Answer:
(Decrease, Increase)
Explanation:
When the government formulates and implements policies aimed at increasing equality, the society will experience a reduction in the level of efficiency. For example, an increase in income tax on wealthiest Americans, and redistribution of the tax revenue to the poorest Americans would may discourage the wealthy from taking more income-generating activities which create jobs, this is not optimal. At the same time, this policy would reduces the peoples’ incentive to work hard to earn their own money.
