Answer:

8

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The market capitalization rate on the stock = 14%

Expected ROE = 15%

Expected EPS = $56

Firm's plowback ratio = 60%

Based on the above information

The computation of the P/E ratio is shown below

But before that, we need to do the following calculations

As we know that

Payout ratio = (1 - plowback ratio )

= (1 - 0.6 )

= 0.4

Now

Growth rate = ROE × Retention ratio

=  0.15 × 0.60

= 9%

And,

Dividend for next period i.e D1 is

= EPS × Payout ratio

= $6 × 0.4

= $2 .4

So,

Current price = D1 ÷ ( Market capitalization rate - Growth rate )

= $2.4 ÷ ( 0.14 - 0.09 )

= $48

And, finally

P/E ratio is

= (Current price) ÷ (EPS)

= $48 ÷ $6

= 8

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

C. Because union wages exceed nonunion wages, employees may be encouraged to work harder.

D. Unions may provide information to companies about how to improve operations and eliminate problems in the work environment.

Explanation:

Workers' unions have been instrumental in ensuring that workers work in the environment that is safe and conducive. Not only that, the unions also ensure that the workers are remunerated fairly for their labor and services. Thus, the wages of the unioned workers are higher because unions bargain for the increase in the worker's wages.

Furthermore, the worker's union work hand in hand to exchange information about the conditions of the workers and how the companies can eliminate the potential problems that result in worker dissatisfaction. In addition, the unions protect workers from exploitation.

serg [7]

Answer:

$16,440

Explanation:

If Bruce is able to work 600 hours per year, his salary will be $3,600 (= $6 x 600), but he will lose $2,160 (= $3,600 x 60%) of welfare stipend.

His total welfare stipend is $15,000 if he is not able to work during the year.

Bruce's total income = $15,000 + $3,600 - $2,160 = $16,440
