Consider the following information which relates to dividends per share (DPS) for a given company:

Today, we are in 2020. Management is in the process of deciding whether to expand or not to expand the firm’s branches. Below, is a set of inputs associated with each scenario:

Scenario #1 – Do Not Expand: Dividend by the end of 2020 is expected to grow at the historical annual growth rate for the period 2015−2019, which is currently undetermined. This period adds up to four years based upon starting at time zero. Once determined, this rate is expected to continue in the future. Under this scenario, the required return on common stock is 14.36%.

Scenario #2 – Expand: Dividend in 2021 is expected to be $2.13 per share, which will grow at an annual rate of 14.12% for two years (2022 and 2023), and then, the divided would grow at the same unknown rate in the first scenario from 2024 thereafter. Under this scenario, the required return on common stock is 17.58%.

Required: What is the dollar difference in the present value per share of common stock between both scenarios?

Are U.S. unemployment rates typically higher, lower, or about the same as unemployment rates in other high-income countries?

I got a answer that I found on this web site, but it is not helpful for me.

So, please do not copy&paste that answer for my posting.

The answer is that;

Unemployment rate in U.S have been lower as compare to other countries. This is because of the following reasons that internet is a new medium through which many job seekers can find the jobs in different companies. Internet has made job search an easier task. The growth of the temporary labor industry in recent years reduced the unemployment rate in U.S. In 1980s only 0.5 % of all labors were working. In early 2000s, the number had increased to 2%. Proportion of young workers was relatively high in 1970s because of the aging of baby boom generation. Today, U.S unemployment rate is lower because young generation of 1970s has now become middle aged workers. Middle aged workers are likely to have more stable jobs than young age workers.

write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. In 1944, finance specialists and bankers from around the world met to discuss what the post-WWII monetary system would be. Given the instability of the pre-war period, the goal was to create a new system. The outcome of this was the Bretton Woods system, which had the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency linked to gold at $35 an ounce. All other currencies were tied to the dollar with limits on how much they could appreciate or depreciate. The system lasted until the 1970s, when the United States decided to move away from gold convertibility. The modern system is based on supply and demand for currency and a managed float. Discuss the following in your main post: The U.S. dollar remains the world's reserve currency. Is this good for the United States, and if so, why? People usually think a "strong" dollar is good. Is this true for U.S. businesses, and does it help or hurt the U.S. balance of payments?

A. In the context of the Standard Trade Model, describe the economic elements that dictate differences between the production possibilities frontiers of different countries. B. Suppose the U.S. produces clothing and food. The price of one pound of food is $2 while the price of one yard of cloth is $5. Write down the equation for the isovalue line given that the total production is V. C. Suppose that V=$100 and that the US produces 10 lbs of food. Draw the PPF, the isovalue line and indicate the production point given these parameters (Use Cloth on the vertical axis and Food on the horizontal axis). What is the slope of the isovalue line given the prices in part B? D. The U.S. has preferences such that they like to consume more cloth and less food. Suppose that the demand for food is 5 lbs of food. What would be the demand for cloth given a production value V=$100 and the price of one pound of food being $2 and price for cloth being $5. Describe what the U.S. will trade by calculating imports and exports. Illustrate in a graph by showing where the U.S. will consume and where they produce.
