Explanation:

In order for an employer to qualify for the maximum credit against FUTA taxes (Federal Unemployment Tax Act), they have to file their annual return in time and also pay their state contributions in time. If they file their report late or miss the  state contributions due date, they will be sanctioned by lowering the maximum credit from 5.4% to 4.86% (90% of maximum credit).

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of DDM we calculate the price of a stock today which is expected to pay a dividend which increases at a constant rate through out. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

Plugging in the available values in the formula, we calculate r to be,

74.11 = 4.63 / (r - 0.0375)

74.11 * (r - 0.0375) = 4.63

74.11r - 2.779125 = 4.63

74.11r = 4.63 + 2.779125

r = 7.409125 / 74.11

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%
