Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

A. $3.37

B. $3.41

Explanation:

A.Computation for earnings per share for the year 20X1

20X1 Earnings per share= $1,170,000/347,000

20X1 Earnings per share= $3.37

Therefore earnings per share for the year 20X1 will be $3.37

B. Computation for earnings per share for the year 20X2.

First step is to calculate the Earnings available to common stockholders

Earnings available to common stockholders = $1,170,000x (1+.31 )

Earnings available to common stockholders = $1,170,000x 1.31

Earnings available to common stockholders = = $1,532,700

Second step is to calculate the Common shares outstanding

Common shares outstanding = 347,000 + 103,000

Common shares outstanding = 450,000

Now let calculate the earnings per share for the year 20X2

20X2 Earnings per share=$1,532,700/450,000

20X2 Earnings per share = $3.41

Therefore earnings per share for the year 20X2 will be $3.41

A. Explain the role labor’s productivity plays in wage determination in the competitive labor market. If productivity increases,

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(A)Wages decrease in the long term

Explanation:

(A) The principles of supply and demand applies here.

Higher worker productivity in a particular industry implies increased demand for workers in the industry (short term effect).

Increased supply of workers implies:

1. output per worker increases, resulting in increase in supply of products in the industry. But, the laws of supply and demand comes in, because when supply increases, prices decrease.

That is, the increase in worker productivity may cause a decrease in prices resulting in a decrease in wages since the firm's revenue declined (long term effect).

2. Increase in the supply of workers in the industry with increased in productivity over workers from other industry because of initial increase in wages. This would lead to a decrease in wages because the supply of workers would exceed demand.

(B) The compensation differential is the additional amount of money that a given worker must be offered in order to motivate him to accept a given undesirable job, relative to other jobs that the worker could perform.

(C) This is called a derived demand because it is often based on the demand for products.

For example, when consumers want more of a particular good or service eg clothing, more firms in the industry will want workers that make this product.

Guest expectations +____________=guest satisfaction

avanturin [10]

Answer: C. Perceived Value

Explanation:

When we speak of Perceived value, we speak of how a customer evaluates a good or service in relation to how well it served them especially in relation to similar good or services.

It is essentially the customer, ranking a good or service in terms of how well they feel it fulfilled it's intended purpose.

When guests to an Establishment come with expectations for instance, how well the guests think these expectations are met (perceived Value) is what determines the overall satisfaction of the guest.

Hence the formula, Guest expectations + Perceived Value = Guest Satisfaction
