According to Okun’s law, for every 1 percentage point by which the actual unemployment rate exceeds the natural rate, a negative GDP gap of about 2 percent occurs. The actual unemployment rate exceeds the natural rate by 4 percent. This is calculated as follows :

Actual unemployment – natural unemployment = 9 – 5 = 4%.

Thus, according to Okun’s law the GDP gap is -8%.

If the potential GDP is $ 500 billion, the actual GDP is 8% lower than the potential GDP. In other words, 8% of the $ 500 billion is being forgone because of cyclical unemployment.

GDP forgone = 8% x potential GDP = 8% x 500 = $40 billion

Norma-Jean [14]

Joe decided to start washing cars on his street. The other kids in the neighborhood noticed Joe was making a lot of money washing cars and decided to open their own car wash. When they opened their own car wash, the equilibrium price decreased and the equilibrium quantity increased.

The price at which the quantity provided and demanded are equal is referred to as the equilibrium price. It is established by where the demand and supply curves cross. If more goods or services are produced than are needed to satisfy demand at the going rate, there is a surplus, which pushes prices lower.

Reduced demand will result in a drop in the equilibrium price and a reduction in supply. With everything else remaining constant, an increase in supply will result in a decrease in the equilibrium price and an increase in the amount required. The equilibrium price will increase as the supply declines, while the quantity needed will go down.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The value of the common stock today is $28.455 per share.

Explanation:

For a stock that is paying constant growth rate in dividends, we use the constant growth model of the DDM to calculate the value of stock today. The formula for price using the constant growth model is,

Price = D1 / r - g

Where,

  • D1 is the dividend expected in the next period or D0 * (1+g)
  • r is the cost of equity or required rate of return
  • g is the growth rate in dividends

Price = 2.71 * ( 1 + 0.05 )  / (0.15 - 0.05)

Price = $28.455
