I also think about how i have grown. One of the concepts I learned this year was variables in Mrs. Pilato’s class. It was difficult at first but then i started to get the hang of it.

rate is 8%? c. If a stock is expected to pay an annual dividend of $20 this year‚ what is the approximate present value of the stock‚ given that the discount rate is 8% and dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 2% per year? Answer: a. P = D/k = 20/.05 = $400 b. P = 20/.08 = $250 c. P = D1/(k - g) = 20/(.08 - .02) = $333.33 2) If a stock is expected to pay a dividend of $40 for the current year‚ what is the approximate present value of this stock‚ given at discount rate of

The diagram shows Japan can produce camcorders at lower costs - its supply curve is lower than the UK. This means that Japan has a comparative advantage in producing camcorders. In the absence of international trade between the two countries‚ British consumers would have to buy at a higher equilibrium price than Japanese consumers. Since Japan is more efficient‚ it makes sense for Japan to specialise in production of camcorders and export their surplus output to the UK at a lower free trade
