Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends. 

<span>Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)

</span>where
D1<span> = </span><span>expected annual </span>dividend<span> per share in the following year </span>
<span>k = the investor's discount rate or required </span>rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate 

<u>From the problem:</u>
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08

k is unknown

Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:

k = (D1/P0) + g

Substituting the variables with the given values, 

k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170

In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.

Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.

Last year Easton Corporation reported sales of $480,000, a contribution margin ratio of 25% and a net loss of $16,000. Based on
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

B. $544,000

Explanation:

Given: Sales: $480000.

           Contribution margin ratio= 25%

           net loss= $16000.

Break even point: It is point in business where profit is equal to expenses of the business.

Now, finding the fixed expense.

Fixed expense= loss+ (contribution\ margin\times sales)

⇒ Fixed expense= 16000+ (0.25\times 480000)

⇒ Fixed expense= 16000+ 120000

∴ Fixed expense=  \$ 136000

Next, computing the break even point

Sales to Break even point= \frac{Fixed\ expense}{Contribution\ margin\ ratio}

⇒ Break even point= \frac{136000}{0.25}

∴ Break even point= \$ 544000

Hence, the break even point was $544000

hram777 [196]

Answer: False

Explanation:

A tariff is a tax that is imposed by the government of a particular country in order to curtail the number of imported goods brought into the country.

Based on the above scenario, the reduction in consumer surplus is not $500 million but rather $600 million which is the addition of $100 million, $200 million and $300 million.

Therefore the question is false.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct answer is d) neither the long-run Phillips curve nor the Classical dichotomy.

Explanation:

The answer that best suits the situation described is the Phillips curve in the short term but not in the long term.

The Phillips curve starts from the principle that the amount of money circulating (commonly called "money supply") has real effects on the economy in the short term. In this way, an increase in the money supply would have a beneficial effect on aggregate demand, as citizens will spend more when their nominal wages are increased (known as “monetary illusion”) and a more favorable framework for investment and investment will be created. that the prospects of rising prices will improve the expectations of corporate profits. The improvement in aggregate demand would result in greater economic growth, and this in turn in the creation of new jobs. This is how an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment is established, expressed graphically by a downward curve.
