Answer:                   Ke = 8% = 0.08  

                              ROE = 10% = 0.10

             Expected EPS = $6

      Plowback rate ( b)  = 40% = 0.40

 Dividend per share (D) =  60%x $6 = $3.60

                                   Po =  D(1+g )/ke-g              

                                   Po = $3.6(1+0.04)/0.08-0.04

                                   Po = $3.744/0.04

                                   Po = $93.60

The current market price is $93.60

The price-earnings ratio = market price per share/Earnings per share

                                          = $93.6/$6

                                           = 15.6

The correct answer is C

Explanation: The price-earnings ratio is the ratio of market  price per share to earnings per share. In this scenario, it is important to obtain the market price per share using the above formula. Thereafter, the market price per share is divided by the earnings per share. There is need to calculate the dividend per share based on the retention rate of 40%. since the retention rate is 40%, the dividend pay-out rate will be 60%. Thus, dividend is 60% of the expected earnings per share. The estimation of growth rate (g) is based on Gordon's growth model, which is g = r x b. r represents return on equity while b denotes the plowback(retention rate).

Halt company employee material handling employees who move materials between production divisions at a labor cost of $160,000 a
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The $12,000 is the material handling cost should be assigned to products made in March.

Thus, the correct option is a. $12,000

Explanation:

For computing how much of the material handling cost should be assigned, first we have to calculate the per pound of material. The formula is shown below:

Per pound of material = Labor cost ÷ Number of pounds

                                    = $160,000 ÷ 800,000

                                    = $0.2 per pound of material

Now, multiply this per pound of material with moving pounds.

In mathematically,

Material Handling cost = Per unit of pound × Moving material

                                      = $0.2 × 60,000

                                      =$12,000

Hence, the $12,000 is the material handling cost should be assigned to products made in March.

Thus, the correct option is a. $12,000

Brut [27]

Answer:

a) employees can be motivated by open communication.

Explanation:

The answer is that Howie does not realize that employees can be motivated by open communication because by asking employees suggestions as to how jobs could be restructured to improve productivity, John Noble is trying to have a direct communication allowing employees to express their thoughts which will make them feel as part of the company and valued which will result in them feeling motivated to perform well in their job.

The other options are not right because employees won't be giving their opinions thinking on equity and ways to simplify job tasks are not the only suggestions that employees can provide.
