Ecolap inc. (ecl) recently paid a $0.46 dividend. the dividend is expected to grow at a 14.5 percent rate. at a current stock price of $44.12, what is the return shareholders are expecting?
a) 15.69%
b) 14.10%
c) 12.74%

a) 15.69%

Explanation:

The computation of the expected return is shown below:

= (Current year dividend ÷ current price) + growth rate

where,

Current year dividend = Dividend × ( 1 + dividend growth rate)

                                     = $0.46 × (1 + 14.5%)

                                     = $0.527

And, the other item values remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= ($0.527 ÷ $44.12) + 0.145

=  15.69%

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
