Answer:

Cost of equity = 10.9%

Explanation:

<em>The Dividend Valuation Model(DVM) is a technique used to value the worth of an asset. According to this model, the value of an asset is the sum of the present values of the future cash flows would that arise from the asset discounted at the required rate of return.</em><em> </em>

If dividend is expected to grow at a given rate , the value of a share is calculated using the formula below:

D0× (1+g)/Po × (1-F) + g

Do - dividend in the following year, K- requited rate of return , g- growth rate , F= Floatation cost in %

DATA:

D0- 3.68

g- 5%

P=67

K- ?

Po×(1-F)= 67-3.68=$63.32

Ke = 3.68× 1.05/ 63.32   + 0.05 =0.109

Cost of equity = 0.109× 100= 10.9%

Cost of equity = 10.9%

You are trying to explain to your friends the importance of using real GDP to measure economic health over time, but some of the
Yuri [45]

Answer: $15,909.09

Explanation:

Nominal GDP is the value of goods and services that is calculated on the basis of current year prices whereas Real GDP is the value of goods and services that is determined on the basis of Base year prices. If we are using the identical price for both the years for calculating GDP then we can see the increment in the current year GDP from the last year. This means that the quantity of goods produced in the current year is larger than the last year. That's why it is important to use Real GDP rather than Nominal GDP.

Given that,

Nominal GDP (millions of dollars) = $14000

Price level (GDP deflator) = 88

\text{GDP dflator}=\frac{Nominal\ GDP}{Real\ GDP}\times100

\text{88}=\frac{14,000}{Real\ GDP}\times100

Real GDP = 159.09 × 100

                = $15,909.09

Hence, Real GDP = $15,909.09.

Therefore, Real GDP is greater than Nominal GDP hence we can say that the amount of good produced is worth more than $14,000.
