Paneer Asphalt Materials

The capital gains yield would have been = 19%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Constant annual dividend = $1.26 per share

Market rate of return last year = 14.9%

Market price of share last year = Dividend per share/Market Rate of Return

= $1.26/14.9%

= $8.46 per share

Market rate of return this year = 12.5%

Market price of share this year = $1.26/12.5%

= $10.08 per share

Capital gains per share = $1.62 ($10.08 - $8.46)

Capital gains yield = Rise in the price per share/Purchase price per share

= 19% ($1.62/$8.46 * 100)

yup the answer is

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )
