Malcolm (37) is a U.S citizen

Joker stock has a sustainable growth rate of 7 percent, ROE of 10 percent, and dividends per share of $1.20. If the P/E ratio is

belka [17]

Answer:

P/E ratio = Market price per share

Earnings per share

15 = Market price per share

$4

Market price per share = 15 x $4 = $60

Growth rate = Retention rate x ROE

0.07 = Retention rate x 0.10

0.07 = Retention rate

0.10

Retention rate = 0.7 = 70%

Dividend pay-out ratio = 100% - 70%

Dividend pay-out ratio = 30%

Earnings per share = 100/30 x $1.20 = $4

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the formula of price-earnings ratio, which is market price per share divided by earnings per share. The P/E ratio was given while the earnings per share is derived. The market price per share becomes the subject of the formula.

In order to determine the earnings per share, we need to obtain the retention ratio by applying the formula of growth rate. In this case, growth rate and ROE were provided in the question with the exception of retention rate. Thus, the retention rate is made the subject of the formula. Having obtained the retention rate, we will now obtain the dividend payout ratio which is 100% minus retention rate.

Then, we will obtain the earnings per share by dividing 100 by the pay-out ratio multiplied by the dividend per share.

Recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions solidified the idea that the ADEA is designed specifically to protect older workers from dis

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are several Supreme Court Rulings regarding the ADEA during the past two decades, most of them concerning technical issues, but the most straightforward ruling regarding the question is:

General Dynamics Land Systems, Inc. v. Cline, 540 U.S. 581 (2004)

The Supreme Court ruled that the purpose of the ADEA is to prevent discrimination against older workers in benefit of younger workers, but it does not prevent discrimination against younger workers in benefit of older workers.

Media planners typically use psychographic classifications to define their target audiences and rely heavily on primary research

kati45 [8]

To properly target potential customers, it is necessary to know not only what the needs are of the people they're advertising, they also need to know how the item will be used. There are multiple reasons that a customer would buy an item or service, so I assume media planners would need to use psychographic classifications to know who their target audience is and what they would like. How heavily planners rely on these classsifications probably effects the response they received from the audience.

X Company purchased a patent on January 3, year 7 from Y Company for $145,000. An attorney drew up the contract between X &

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The carrying value of the patent on X company on December 31 is $122,000

Explanation:

Computing the carrying value of the patent is as:

The total cost of the patent which will be recognized is as:

Total cost of patent = Purchased cost + Attorney value

where

Purchase cost is $145,000

Attorney cost will be divided into 2, so

Attorney cost = $15,000 / 2

= $7,500

So,

Total cost of patent = $145,000 + $7,500

Total cost of patent = $152,500

Now, amortize the patent over the useful life of patent as:

Amortize value = Patent cost / Useful life

Amortize value = $152,500 / 10

Amortize value = $15,250

But X held the patent for 2 years, so its accumulated amortization is:

Accumulated amortization = Amortize value × 2

= $15,250 × 2

Accumulated amortization = $30,500

Now, the carrying value will be:

Carrying value = Total cost of patent - Accumulated depreciation

Carrying value = $152,500 -$30,500

Carrying value = $122,000

Taxes on goods with __________ demand curves will tend to raise more tax revenue for the government than taxes on goods with ___

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Inelastic; elastic

Explanation:

Goods with inelastic demand curves tend to raise more government revenue compared to goods with the elastic demand curve. An increase in price does not affect the demand of inelastic goods and it remains the same, that is why, governments usually increase the prices of goods that have inelastic demand curve, for example, petrol and toll tax, etc.
