Answer:

The reutrn on equity should be of 9.53%

Explanation:

We can solve the return on equity by considering the gordon model of dividend growth:

\frac{divends_1}{return_{equity}-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

current dividends 2 dollars

next year dividends: current x (1 + g) = 2 x (1 + 0.06) = 2.12

\frac{2.12}{return_{equity}-0.06} = 60

\frac{2.12}{60} +0.06= Ke

Ke = 0.09533 = 9.53%

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Shareholders who are risk averse may prefer some dividends over the promise of future capital gains.

Explanation:

A dividend is a cash distribution by a company to its shareholders out of the profits of a period. Capital Gain refers to the increase in the value of a capital asset or an investment upon sale. From the two of them, dividends are safer investments since they do not rely exclusively on the sales of an asset.  

Thus, a conservative investor is likely to choose dividends over the promise of capital gains.

NISA [10]

As given in the item above, the demand function is,

 

<span>   q = 36 – 4p</span>

 

To determine the inverse function,

<span> Replace every q with p and every p with q and solve for the new q’s as shown below.</span>

 

<span>   p = 36 – 4q</span>

 

Simplify the equation to determine the value of q.

<span>  4q = 36 – p</span>

<span> q = 9 – p/4</span>
