The average price of milk increased from $3.00 last year to $3.50 this year. This most likely due to:

Three Corners Markets paid an annual dividend of $1.42 a share last month. Today, the company announced that future dividends wi

Mariana [72]

Answer:

$10.82%

Explanation:

The computation of stock value is shown below:-

First we need to find out the expected dividend for computing the stock value

So, Expected dividend = $1.42 × (1 + 1.3%)

= $1.44

Now, Stock value = Expected dividend ÷ (Required return - Growth rate)

= $1.44 ÷ (14.6% - 1.3%)

= $1.44 ÷ 13.3%

= $10.82%

So, for computing the stock value we simply applied the above formula.

A certain bookstore chain has two stores, one in San Francisco and one in Los Angeles. It stocks three kinds of books: hardcover

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Hard Soft Plastic

San Francisco 3,600 7,800 12,000

Los Angeles 2,400 1,800 3,000

Explanation:

The sales during January were as follows:

Hard Soft Plastic

San Francisco 600 1,300 2,000

Los Angeles 400 300 500

If the sales during the next five months were actually the same, then to determine total sales all we have to do is multiply January's sales by 6.

600 x 6 = 3,600 1,300 x 6 = 7,800 2,000 x 6 = 12,000

400 x 6 = 2,400 300 x 6 = 1,800 500 x 6 = 3,000

When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount S present at time t

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

a) - r=5%: $S=$ 5,136.10$

- r=4%: $S=$ 4,885.61$

- r=3%: $S=$ 4,647.34$

b) - r=5%: t=14 years

- r=4%: t=17 years [/tex]

- r=3%: t=23 years [/tex]

c) The amount obtained is

- Compuonded quarterly: $5,191.83

- Compuonded continously: $5,200.71

The latter is always greater, since the more often it is capitalized, the greater the effect of compound interest and the greater the capital that ends up accumulating.

Explanation:

The rate of accumulation of money is

$dS/dt=rS$

To calculate the amount of money accumulted in a period, we have to rearrange and integrate:

$\int dS/S=\int rdt=r \int dt\\\\ln(S)=C*r*t\\\\S=C*e^{rt}$

When t=0, S=S₀ (the initial capital).

$S=S_0=Ce^{r*0}=Ce^0=C\\\\C=S_0$

Now we have the equation for the capital in function of time:

$S=S_0e^{rt}$

a) For an initial capital of $4000 and for a period of five years, the amount of capital accumulated for this interest rates is:

- r=5%: $S=4000e^{0.05*5}=4000*e^{0.25}= 5,136.10$

- r=4%: $S=4000e^{0.04*5}=4000*e^{0.20}= 4,885.61$

- r=3%: $S=4000e^{0.03*5}=4000*e^{0.15}= 4,647.34$

b) We can express this as

$S=S_0e^{rt}\\\\2S_0=S_0e^{rt}\\\\2=e^{rt}\\\\ln(2)=rt\\\\t=ln(2)/r$

- r=5%: $t=ln(2)/0.05=14$

- r=4%: $t=ln(2)/0.04=17$

- r=3%: $t=ln(2)/0.03= 23$

c) When the interest is compuonded quarterly, the anual period is divided by 4. In 5 years, there are 4*5=20 periods of capitalization. The annual rate r=0.0525 to calculate the interest is also divided by 4:

$S = 4000 (1+(1/4)(0.0525))^{5*4}=4000(1.013125)^{20}\\\\S=4000*1.297958= 5,191.83$

If compuonded continously, we have:

$S=S_0e^{rt}=4000*e^{0.0525*5}=4000*1.3= 5,200.71$

The amount obtained is

- Compuonded quarterly: $5,191.83

- Compuonded continously: $5,200.71

The latter is always greater, since the more often it is capitalized, the greater the effect of compound interest and the greater the capital that ends up accumulating.
