The Gecko Company and the Gordon Company are two firms whose business risk is the same but that have different dividend policies

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

10.67%

Explanation:

Gecko Company

Gecko = Expected Earnings growth rate = 8% annually

As there are no Capital gains tax, thus after Tax returns = Pretax returns

= 8%

Expected Dividend yield of Gordon = 5%

After tax returns = 5(1-.25)

=5(0.75)

= 3.75%

Assuming the pay out ratio = 100%

Gordon’s required pretax return = 8/ (1-.25)

=8/0.75

= 10.67%

At pretax return of 10.67% on Gordon the after tax returns on both the stocks are equal.

Suppose that Dillon derives 40 utils of total utility from eating 5 hotdogs and 42 utils of total utility from eating 6 hotdogs.

gavmur [86]

Answer: The marginal utility is 2

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction derived from the consumption of a particular commodity. Total utility is the total satisfaction derived from the consumption of a particular commodity. Marginal utility is the extra satisfaction that a consumer gets from consuming a product. Utility is measured in utils.

Marginal utility increases with an extra consumption of a good at first but later it begins to reduce as the extra good consumed doesn't really have give the consumer enough satisfaction anymore.

Regarding the question, eating 5 hotdogs gives 40 utils and eating 6 hotdogs gives 42 utils.

The marginal utility is the extra utils which will be 42-40 which gives 2 utils.

2.Salary Basis Test : The representative must be paid on a Salary Basis, a fixed ensured least installment must be made for any workweek for the playing out any work. This would be dependent upon admissible and impermissible derivations that decide the premise of installment. Special cases to this standard are School educators, Lawyers, Doctors, and some others.

Pick an ad that speaks out against drug abuse. Write about the possible primary and secondary effects of this ad on the youth in

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign launched the “Above the Influence” (ATI) ad campaign in 2005. The campaign aims to provide young people with a different perspective on life. The campaign’s primary initiative is to reduce drug abuse among teenagers, not just by telling them about the harmful effects of drugs, but by helping them to counter bad influences (such as peer pressure) and believe in themselves. This campaign used print media, the Internet, television, and radio to communicate its message to teenagers.

The primary effects of this ad campaign on the youth in my locality were in terms of the immediate awareness that the ad’s message created. The campaign focused on improving lifestyles rather than just highlighting the bad effects of drugs, so it was able to connect with its target audience. Another key reason for the campaign’s success was the use of multiple media formats to communicate with the target audience.

An important secondary effect of this ad campaign was that it succeeded in spreading awareness about how peer pressure leads people into drug abuse. The campaign’s partnership with schools and other community groups helped to increase its effect on students in their early teens. Another secondary effect of the campaign was a decrease in the long-term use of marijuana and other illicit drugs among teenagers. The campaign managed to foster a feeling of independence and self-assurance among teens over the years.

The message of this ad campaign is still fresh in my mind. I’m sure it had a lasting effect on many others who heard it because it succeeded in building public awareness about the problem of drug abuse and in promoting a positive lifestyle.
