Answer: Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Figure attached with this answer shows the two curves, namely, average product curve and marginal product curve.
Marginal product refers to the change in the total output divided by the change in the quantity of inputs used.
Average product is calculated by dividing the total output produced with the quantity of inputs or factors of production used.
The relationship between marginal product and average product is explained by three phases:
(1) Average product is rising,
Marginal product is greater than the average product.
(2) Average product is maximum,
Marginal product is equal to average product.
(3) Average product is falling because of diminishing marginal utility,
Marginal product is less than the average product.

Explanation:
The adjusting entries are shown below:
1. Insurance expense A/c Dr $1,200

Answer: Yes, the distribution between the dividend yield and the capital gains yield would influence the firm’s decision to pay more dividends rather than to retain and reinvest more of its earnings.
Explanation:
Yes, If a company decides to increase its dividend payout ratio, the dividend yield component will rise, but the expected long-term capital gains yield will decline as there is less to reinvest in the company. Also, if the company doesn't pay out dividends, there's more to reinvest in the company. Stable and older companies that are not on a growth objective rely on investors that prefer dividends more than share price appreciation. On the other hand, emerging companies, are inclined to share price appreciation to attract investors. Investors understand that all retained earnings are going towards marketing and growth objectives.
Answer:
$55.134
Explanation:
Given
dividend paid on its stock = $8.25
Duration is next 13 years
P0 = dividend on its stock × (PVIFA of return on this stock,years)
Remember PVIF = (1 - (1 + r)^-n)/r
Where PVIFA = present value interest factor of annuity
r = interest rate per period
n = number of periods
Therefore
P0 = $8.25 × (PVIFA11.2%,13)
P0 = $55.134
