Answer:

The segments whose revenue is less than the avoidable expense of the organization must be eliminated when the management considers the elimination of a business segment.

Explanation:

The segments contributing less than the avoidable expense of the organization are deemed to contribute negatively to the organization. Hence the organization must consider eliminating such segments in order to ensure the sustainability and growth of all the segments and organization collectively.

Further explanation:

Avoidable expenses of an organization are those expenses which generally occur only with the continuity of that particular activity. Thus, the discontinued practice of such an activity will result to end of such expenses. Such an expense includes – cost on direct labour, directly attached marketing costs, etc.

Hence the segments which yield less than the avoidable cost of the organization must be considered for the elimination as they give inadequate returns and are unprofitable for the organization.

The price of NetFlex stock is $54.54; its expected dividend next year is $6, and its constant annual growth rate thereafter is 5
katrin [286]

Answer:

Rate of return is 16.11%

Explanation:

Dividend Valuation method is used to value the stock price of a company based on the dividend paid, its growth rate and rate of return. The price is calculated by calculating present value of future dividend payment.

Formula to calculate the value of stock

Price = Dividend / ( Rate or return - growth rate )

$54 = $6 / ( Rate or return - 5% )

Rate or return - 0.05 = $6 / $54

Rate or return - 0.05 = 0.1111

Rate or return = 0.05 + 0.1111

Rate or return = 01611

Rate or return = 16.11%

igomit [66]

Answer:

c.226,416

Explanation:

Calculation for what was real GDP in the Neverland in 2019

First step is to calculate real GDP per capital

Real GDP per capital=210,500/8,200

Real GDP per capital=25.6707

Second Step is to calculate Real GDP per person

Real GDP per person=(1+0.05)*25.6707

Real GDP per person=1.05*25.6707

Real GDP per person=26.954235

Last step is to calculate the real GDP in the Neverland in 2019

Using this formula

Real GDP in the Neverland in 2019=Real GDP per person* Population

Let plug in the formula

Real GDP in the Neverland in 2019=26.954235*8,400

Real GDP in the Neverland in 2019=226,416

Therefore the real GDP in the Neverland in 2019 will be 226,416
