Solution Summary

The solution describes variation of output voltage across load with change in potentiometer resistance taken into account.

a.
Assume Taper position = x (in %)

Hence, resistance in parallel with recorder (RL = 0.5 kOhm)
R1 = 3*x/100 = 0.03x kOhm
Remaining resistance,
R2 = 3 - R1 = 3 - 0.03x

Parallel R1 and RL:

R|| = 0.5*0.03x/(0.5+0.03x) = 0.015x/(0.5+0.03x)

Net resistance of the ...

In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
