Please help, I'm struggling ALOT. As detailed as possible Please. 30 Pts Consider four different stocks, all of which have a required return of 18.25 percent and a most recent dividend of $3.10 per share. Stocks W, X, and Y are expected to maintain constant growth rates in dividends for the foreseeable future of 11 percent, 0 percent, and –5.5 percent per year, respectively. Stock Z is a growth stock that will increase its dividend by 20.25 percent for the next two years and then maintain a constant 13 percent growth rate, thereafter.

a. What is the dividend yield for each of these four stocks? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

b. What is the expected capital gains yield for each of these four stocks? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

the answer is b

hello!

to begin with, we're given that on earth, a rock weighs 20 pounds, and while on jupiter, that same rock weighs 42 pounds. now, we're trying to find the weight of a rock that weighs 10.5 pounds on earth, on jupiter.

to solve this, first, set up a proportion, cross-multiply, and solve it algebraically.

setting up the proportion is the hardest and the most confusing part of the problem, but it's simple.

if on earth, the rock weighs 20 lbs, and on jupiter it weighs 42 lbs, our first part of our proportion is 20/42 lbs. the second part has to be equal to each other. this means that 10.5 has to be on the numerator of the fraction, and x, the value we're trying to find, has to be on the denominator. remember that the rock weighs 10.5 lbs on earth, and we're trying to find the weight of it on jupiter (which is x).

20/42 = 10.5/x

next, you would cross-multiply.

20x = 42(10.5)

20x = 441

now, solve it algebraically by using division.

x = 22.05 lbs

this can be rounded to 22.1 lbs.

therefore, the weight of the rock on jupiter is 22.1 lbs, the fourth choice.
