Answer:
Cost of equity = 11.20%, Value of Equity = $39.25
Explanation:
a. Cost of equity = Rf + B(Rm-Rf)
Cost of equity = 4% + 1.2(6%)
Cost of equity = 4% + 7.20%
Cost of equity = 11.20%
b. P/E ratio = 20
Market Price / EPS = 20
Market Price = EPS * 20
-->P1 = $2.17 * 20 = $43.40
DPS1= $0.24
Value of Equity = P1/Cost of Equity + DPS1/Cost of equity
Value of Equity = $43.40/1.1120 + $0.24/1.1120
Value of Equity = $39.03 + $0.22
Value of Equity = $39.25
Answer:
The first dramatic swing happened in the 1970s when there was a sharp <em><u>rise</u></em> in the real price of oil caused by the <em><u>formation of OPEC.</u></em>
In 1973, the World saw it's first oil spike when members of the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) being mostly Muslims, decided to punish the Western World for their perceived support of the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War. They placed an embargo on the sale of oil to the West and because they controlled 56% of the then World supply, this was enough to force the price of oil up due to the reduction in demand.

The second swing happened in the 2000s when there was a sharp <em><u>rise</u></em><u> </u>in the real price of oil caused by <em><u>increased demand from emerging economies.</u></em>
From the early 2000s to 2008, the price of oil kept rising steadily till it reached around $147.30 in July 2008. This rise in prices was due to increased demand from newly industrialized and emerging nations like China that needed the oil to maintain their rapid growth.
<u><em /></u>
The most recent swing happened in 2008 when there was a sharp <em><u>drop</u></em><em> </em>in the real price of oil caused by<em> </em><em><u>a large financial crisis.</u></em><em> </em>
By December 2008, the price of oil had fallen to $32 and this was down to the global recession that was ravaging the World known as the Great Recession. As the world saw economic output fall, demand for oil decreased sharply thereby forcing the price of oil to fall dramatically.
Answer:
- <u>Members of teams with high cohesiveness feel higher loyalty to the team and have better job satisfaction.</u>
- <u>Teams with high cohesiveness are generally more productive due to the energizing effect of regular interaction among team members.</u>
Explanation:
Remember, cohesiveness looks at the degree to which team members <em>stick</em> together in times of difficulties.
Also cohesive teams are good communicators; they would involve in regular interactions among team members, an attitude which when applied to an organisation setting would increase the team's productivity.
Answer:
The answer is <em>elastic; decrease</em>
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand (PED) = %change in QD/ %change in price
PED = (2-1.55/1.55 ) * 100 / (160-220/220) *100 = 1.065
PED is elastic
Total revenue before price change = 1.55*220= $341.00
Total revenue after price change = 2* 160 = $320.00
Total revenue decreased by $21.00
Answer:
C. $4000
Explanation:
Given that
Total opportunity cost = salary plus interest forgone, that is 50,000 + 6% of 100,000
= 50,000 + 6000 = 56,000.
Total revenue received = 60,000
Recall that
Economic profits = Revenue - (implicit + explicit cost)
And that
Implicit cost = opportunity cost = 56,000
Explicit cost = 0 (from the question, revenue covered it)
Thus
Economic profit = 60000 - 56000
= $4000
