Answer:

The answer is d.investors view dividends as being less risky than potential future capital gains.

Explanation:

This is called the "Bird in Hand theory" as well. What it says technically is that investors prefer dividends from stock investing to potential capital gains because of the inherent uncertainty associated with capital gains.  

In other words, a Bird in hand worth 2 in the bush!

This is because of the inherent risk in the capital gains in the market. You can NEVER predict the future of a market. Dividend however, can be predicted along with the annual performance of a company.

If a 30% price increase for Product A causes a 10% decrease in its quantity demanded, but no change in the quantity demanded for
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Zero, Option c.

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand shows the change in the quantity demanded of a commodity due to a change in the price of the commodity.  

The cross-price elasticity is the change in the quantity demanded of a product because of a change in the price of related good.  

The cross-price elasticity is calculated by finding the ratio of proportionate change in quantity demanded and proportionate change in price.  

Cross-price elasticity in this situation will be

= \frac{\% \Delta Qy}{\% \Delta Px}

= \frac{0}{30}

= 0

The cross-price elasticity is zero. This implies that the two goods have no relation.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer: initially Sam gross profit would drop. But overtime when he starts gaining customers in his new branch added to the already existing customers in his old branch there would a very large gross profit increase.

Explanation: Gross profit is the percentage of revenue a company retains after accounting for cost of goods/services.

Access Organics, Inc., hired Andy Hernandez to sell organic produce. Later, Hernandez signed an agreement not to compete with Ac
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The Non Compete is NOT Enforceable.

Explanation:

An Agreement not to compete with your previous company is a RESTRICTIVE covenant that was generally introduced to ensure that Upper and Middle Management who were generally privy to Trade Secrets in an Organization do not take that information somewhere else and use it against that old company usually in exchange for better compensation packages.

Hernandez joined Access Organics and regrettably was not given a pay increase or any other special considerations. This is very relevant.

For a Non-compete to hold relevance especially if it is signed AFTER an employee has already being working in an organization, there needs to be SUFFICIENT Considerations that gave the employee better terms such as more job security or better benefits as a result of signing said agreement.

Andy Hernandez received no such benefits in return for signing the agreement and so the Non-compete Agreement lacks said Sufficient Considerations.

The Non-compete is therefore NOT ENFORCEABLE.

It is worthy of note that in the actual case, the Judge ruled in favor of of Andy Hernandez.

If you require further clarification do react or comment.
