Answer: 300 feet
Explanation:
Three important factors are involved in bringing a moving vehicle to a stop.
1. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while your brain perceives the need to apply the brakes. An alert driver requires about 0.75 seconds to react. This time accounts for about 60 feet of travel.
2. Reaction distance is the distance traveled before the driver actually presses on the brake pedal. For an alert driver, this also takes about 0.75 seconds. This adds another 60 feet of travel.
3. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels before coming to a stop on a dry ground. On a slippery ground (after snow or rain) this distance is longer. On dry ground, the skidding distance is about 170 feet.
This means that an alert driver needs 60+60+170 = 290 feet (approximately 300 feet) to stop.
For this reason, tailgating at high driving speeds is dangerous.
This is an example of dividends. Correct answer is B.
Answer:
Efficiency wage theory
Explanation:
Efficiency wage theory was first postulated by Alfred Marshall, where he viewed compensation to workers as based on their efficiency.
Companies use efficient wage to reduce staff turnover, as staff are motivated to stay because of wages that are above the industry standard.
It is also a way to reduce cost mostly in industries where the cost of staff replacement is high.
Answer:
Option C is correct.
<u>The required rate of return for Mercury Inc., assuming that investors expect a 5% rate of inflation in the future is 18%.</u>
Explanation:
Real risk free rate = 3%
Inflation Premium = 5%
Nominal risk free rate Rf = Real risk free rate + Inflation Premium = 3% + 5% = 8%
Market risk premium (Rm –Rf) = 5%
Beta = 2
As per CAPM, required rate of return = Rf + beta * (Rm – Rf) = 8% + 2 * 5% = 18%
