will improve the profit margins of firms and thereby induce them to expand output in the short run.
Answer:
The answer is option e. $44.46
Explanation:
The stock's expected price after 5 years can be expressed as;
FV=CV(1+RRR)^n
where;
FV=future value of stock/expected price after 5 years
CV=current price of stock
DGR=dividend growth rate
n=number of years
In our case;
FV=unknown
CV=$35.25 per share
DGW=4.75%=4.75/100=0.0475
n=5 years
replacing;
FV=35.25(1+0.0475)^5
FV=35.25(1.0475)^5
FV=44.46
Answer:
CREATES AN ADVANTAGE FROM ECONOMIES OF SCALE.
Explanation:
A well designed global strategy can help firms to gain competitive advantage. This competitive advantage can be gotten from economies of scale from access to more customers, markets, technology, and resources (efficiency of operations).
Economies of scale simply means that as a company grows and production units increase, a company will have a better chance to decrease its costs.
Competitive advantage is developed largely on a global basis meaning that the world is treated as one market and one source of supply with just local variation. Example is the Pepsi and Coca-Cola that sells in every country.
Therefore, a global strategy CREATES AN ADVANTAGE FROM ECONOMIES OF SCALE.
Answer:
c. The firm is earning zero economic profit and should continue to operate.
Explanation:
This is because at that point firm has not earned any profit or facing a loss.
Cost of equity is calculated as -
Cost of equity = Risk free return + Beta * (Market risk - Risk free return)
Given,
Risk free return = 5.3 %
Market risk = 12 %
Beta = 1.05
Cost of equity = 5.3 % + (1.05*(12-5.3%))
Cost of equity = 12.335 % or 12.24 %
