Answer: B) economic responsibilities toward its shareholders
Explanation:
The primary purpose of a company is to maximize shareholder wealth. This means that it is to pursue strategy that would ensure the maximum return to its shareholders. This is also known as its economic responsibility towards shareholders.
Producing xylene-free paints reduces the dividends that are going to shareholders so it would seem that shareholder wealth is not being maximized and they are not getting the maximum return they could get so the company is violating its economic responsibilities towards shareholders. It is for a good cause though.
Answer:
His regular earnings ( based on regular rates) is $480 while his total earnings for the week ended March 15 is $738.
Explanation:
Regular rate = $12 per hour
Rate for hours in excess of 40 hours per week
= (3/2) × $12
= $18
Rate for hours for Sunday is double
= 2 × $12
= $24
During the week ended March 15, 9 hours each day from Monday through Friday, 6 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday
Period in excess of 40 hours during the week
= (9 × 5) + 4 - 40
= 9
Total regular earning = 40 × $12
= $480
Additional earnings = (9 × $18) + (4 × $24)
= $162 + $96
= $258
Total earnings = $480 + $258
= $738

Answer:
a. 16.00%
b. $13.50
Explanation:
a. The computation of the required return is shown below:
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4% + 1.5 × (12% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.5 × 8%
= 4% + 12
= 16.00%
b. Now the stock price is
= Current year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= ($1 × 1.08) ÷ (16% - 8%)
= 1.08 ÷ 8%
= $13.50
We simply applied the above formulas
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Natalie can return the washing machine without being liable for any replacement costs. Natalie is a minor, and minors cannot legally sign a contract except for purchasing necessities, e.g. food, clothes.
Since the washing machine probably had a significant cost, there should have been a written contract between the parties. The rental company should have requested Natalie some type of legal identification before renting the washing machine and signing the contract. Their only possible defense is that Natalie used a forged ID when she rented the machine, and that they were ticked by it.
But if the rental company cannot prove that Natalie tricked them using some fake ID, then Natalie has the right to void the contract and return the item. It doesn't matter if the washing machine suffered damages or not, Natalie is not liable for any reparation or replacement costs.
