The price paid to each factor adjusts to balance the supply and demand for that factor. Because factor demand reflects the value of the marginal product of that factor, in equilibrium, each factor is compensated according to its marginal contribution to the production of goods and services.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The incremental profit that is being earned for an additional single unit by subtracting the price of the product and all the variable cost that is associated with that product is the marginal contribution. It is the earnings that is obtained in total for paying all fixed expense and also for the profit generation.

The price that is spent for the every factor in order to adjust balancing the supply and demand of that particular factor. This is because of the reason that, the value of the marginal product of any factor is controlled by the demand factor. Thus in an equilibrium state there will be a compensation of each factor based on the marginal contribution to the production of goods and services.

If a gain of $221000 is realized in the cash sale of a building having a book value of $882000, the total amount reported in the
djyliett [7]

Answer:

$1,103,000

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.  

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

For assets disposed, the amount received from the disposal is the amount recorded as an investing activity.

Amount received  - Book value of asset = Gain on disposal

Amount received = $221000 + $882000

= $1,103,000

g100num [7]

Answer:

Liquidity

Explanation:

Liquidity is the degree to which an asset can be converted to cash.  Assets that can easily be converted are described as liquid assets and include stocks and bonds.

Which one of the following statements best defines the efficient market hypothesis? A. Efficient markets limit competition. B. S
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": All securities in an efficient market are zero net present value investments.

Explanation:

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) states that neither public or insider information cannot help in an attempt to beat the market because stocks already show all available information possible. Thus, neither using technical or fundamental analysis could be useful to predict future stock price movement.  

<em>In other words, in a market under EMH all stocks are zero Net Present Value (present value inflows minus present value outflows) investment vehicles.</em>

Burton Corp. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 28 percent for the next three years, with the growt
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

current share price = $70.53

Explanation:

Share Price:

A share price is the amount it would cost to buy one share in a company.

Formula:

share price = future dividends * Present value of discount factor(16%, time period)

As the company just paid a dividend of $3.45 and dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 28 percent for the next three years so

Dividend for 1st year = (3.45*1.28) = $4.416

Dividend for 2nd year = (4.416*1.28) = $5.65248

Dividend for 3rd year = (5.65248*1.28) = $7.2351744

Now we need to calculate the value for 3rd year.

Formula:

Value after 3rd year = (Dividend for year 3*growth rate) / (required rate-growth rate)

Therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

Value after 3rd year = (7.2351744 * 1.074) / (0.16 - 0.074)

Value after 3rd year = $90.35555007

Therefore by putting the values in the share price formula, we get

current share price = 4.416 / 1.16 + 5.65248 / 1.16^2 + 7.2351744/1.16^3 + 90.35555007 / 1.16^3

current share price = $70.53
