A small country reports that the number of people immigrating to the country each year has increased from 1,000 to 2,000 over a decade (10 years). Someone posts this statistic on social media and says that this kind of increase is bad news. But is it really? The report also notes that the population of the country has increased from 10,000 to 25,000 during the same period of time. Use percentages to describe, in another way, how the rate of...

3. Let's return to the snail example of inbreeding from class. Let's say now that we start with a population that has 75% heterozygotes and 25% homozygotes for one of the two alleles (e.g. 25% A1A. 75% AAc). We see that heterozygosity decreases in frequency in the population over time, due to the complete selfing of hermaphroditic snails. Let's also say that the population starts at 800 individuals and stays that way over each generation (i.e. population size is fixed...

A compay is expected to have earnings of $1.26 per share in one year, $1.75 per share in two years, $2.51 per share in three years, and $2.96 in four years. The dividend payout ratio is also expected to remain at 40% over the next four years. The lagging P/E ratio is expected to increase up to 25 in three years. If the required rate of return is 10%, what is a fair value for this stock today?
