Answer:

7.83%

Explanation:

This is calculated by using the Gordon growth model (GGM) formula as follows: P = d / (r - g) ……………………………………… (1)

Where;

P =  market price of the stock = $24.09

d = next year annual dividend = $1.26 r = cost of equity = ?

g = dividend growth rate = 2.6%, or 0.026

Substituting the values into equation and solve for r, we have:

24.09 = 1.26 / (r - 0.026)

24.09 (r - 0.026) = 1.26

24.09r - 0.62634 = 1.26

24.09r = 1.26 + 0.62634

24.09r = 1.88634

r = 1.88634 / 24.09

r = 0.0783038605230386, or 7.83038605230386%

Rounding to 2 decimal places. we have:

r = 7.83%

Therefore, the correct option is 7.83 percent.

ddd [48]

Answer:

the exchange rate and the trade deficit to decrease.

Explanation:

A deficit can be defined as an amount by which money, falls short of its expected or required value.

Generally, deficit in financial accounting is usually as a result of expense exceeding revenue or revenue falling below expenses at a specific period of time.

For instance, when liabilities exceeds assets or import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account.

Generally, a deficit on the current account ultimately implies that the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.

In 2013, government began with a budget deficit and a trade deficit. During the year, the government changed its policy and is now running a budget surplus.

Hence, this change in policy will cause the exchange rate and the trade deficit to decrease if all other factors hold constant

As a result of monetary policy of the Fed, the dollar appreciated and the amount of exports decreased. Which of the following Fe
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

D. A Fed sale of bonds to brokers and banks.

Explanation:

The sale of bonds to banks and brokers is a contractionary open market policy. Its objective is to check inflation by slowing down the rate of economic growth. When the Fed offer bonds to the markets at a higher interests rate, banks will prefer to buy the bonds than lending out money to household and firms.

Producers rely on banks to fund their operations. If they cannot obtains loans for production and growth, their output decreases. A decrease in output results in reduced exports.  Low production of US goods means a reduced supply to the international market. It means international buyers will be competing for fewer US products. As the markets compete for the few available products, they push the demand for the dollar up, causing it to appreciate in value.

Suppose that the Dallas School District wants to achieve Six Sigma quality levels of performance in delivering students to schoo
Kay [80]

Answer:

a) 1.66 minutes

b) 3.4 out of million deliveries

Explanation:

So, it is a six sigma quality question, we first need to understand little bit about six sigma and how it is to achieve six sigma level.

<u>Six Sigma:</u>

It is the process or technique used by many organizations through out the world to achieve maximum quality in a product or in a service they are providing. It helps to indicate root causes of the process or you can say waste steps which first need to be identified then rectified to bring that top-notch quality in the system. So in this case, in order to calculate part a) we will calculate six sigma control limits.

a) So, for six sigma control limits, the maximum allowable standard deviation is 12 or you can say +6 + (-6) = ±6 = 12. It means all deviations must lie in all 12 standard deviations.

<em>Please refer to the table shown in the attachment.</em> This bell curve represent six sigma concept. In this <em>3 sigma quality level means all deviations must lie in 6 standard deviations.</em>

So, here we have been given that mean = 20, so with mean we can calculate standard deviation in six sigma control limits.

Maximum Allowable Standard Deviation for 6 sigma = Mean/12

                                                                                        = 20/12

                                                                                       = 1.66

So, 1.66 is the maximum allowable standard deviation of arrival times required in order to achieve 6 sigma quality level.

b) In this part, we are asked that, out of million deliveries about how many times bus deliver students too early or too late at this 6 sigma quality level.

<em>For this answer, please refer to attachment again</em>. and notice at the left bottom with the arrow of 6 sigma, we have a number 3.4 ppm means 3.4 part per million.

<em>So, it 3.4 times in a million deliveries bus will deliver students either too early or too late. </em>
