Over the past year, M.D. Ryngaert & Co. had an increase in its current ratio and a decline in its total asset’s turnover ratio. However, the company’s sales, cash, and equivalents, DSO, and fixed assets turnover ratio remained constant. What balance sheet accounts must have changed to produce the indicated changes? Profit margins and turnover ratios vary from one industry to another. What differences would you expect to find between the turnover ratios, profit margins, and DuPont equations for a grocery store and a steel company?

It is often difficult to estimate the expected future dividend growth rate for use in estimating the cost of existing equity using the DCF or DG approach. In general, there are three available methods to generate such an estimate: • Carry forward a historical realized growth rate, and apply it to the future. • Locate and apply an expected future growth rate prepared and published by security analysts. • Use the retention growth model.   Suppose Johnson is currently distributing 45% of its earnings in the form of cash dividends. It has also historically generated an average return on equity (ROE) of 20%. Johnson’s estimated growth rate is    %.

(3) How to interpret relationship between changes of GDP growth rate and unemployment rate? Now go to your notes (slides). Is the relationship you plotted similar as the Okun's Law predicts? Suppose you got a relation as GDP = a + b * UNemp, Are the coefficients of a and b are close to the value of Okun's Law? (4) Now repeat the plot you did in part (2) above. However, this time you use the sample only from 2000 to 2019. Any change to the relationship? How is the value of a and b in this sample?
