Answer:

6 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the second number=x

the first number=3x-4

(x+3x-4)+5=25

4x-4+5=25

4x+1=25

4x=25-1

4x=24

x=6

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

ROE = 20 %

dividend payout ratio = 70%

paid = $ 2.00

value of current stock if required return is 18% = ?

g = (1 - payout ) x ROE

= (1 - 0.7 ) x 20%

= 6 %

dividend = 2 (1 + growth rate)

= 2 x (1 + 0.06) =$ 2.12

as current value of stock

= $\dfrac{D1}{required\ return - growth \ rate}$

= $\dfrac{2.12}{0.18 - 0.06}$

= $17.67

hence, the correct answer is option C
