Answer:

The contract expected value is 3,540

Explanation:

we multiply each possible outcome by their probability of occur.

sink the piers into bedrock :   (600)  x 10% =      (60)

sink the piers normally:           4,000 x 90% = <u> 3,600 </u>

Net                                                                      3,540

It is important to always have all the probabilities add up to 100% in order to this method to work.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

WACC = Ke(E/V) + Kd(D/V)(1-T)  + Kp(P/V)

WACC = 15(60/100) + 5(30/100)(1-0.3) + 10(10/100)

WACC = 9 + 1.05 + 1

WACC = 11.05%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital is a function of cost of common stock and the proportion of common stock in the capital structure plus after-tax cost of debt and proportion of debt in the capital structure plus cost of preferred stock and the proportion of preferred stock in the capital structure.  Ke = Cost of equity or common stock, kd = cost of debt and kp = cost of preferred stock.

A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the d
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

Explanation:

The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,

ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity

or

ROE = Net Income / Total equity

Assuming that sales is $100.

Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1

Total Assets = 100 / 1.84

Total Assets = 54.35

0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity

Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162

Total Equity = 31.48

We know that Assets = Debt + Equity

So,

54.35 = Debt + 31.48

Debt = 54.35 - 31.48

Debt = 22.87

Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48

Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

C. try to increase his or her own outputs

D. try to increase his or her own inputs

Answer:

A. try to have the inputs of coworkers increased.

Smith was born on the 5th of June, 1723 in Kirkcaldy, United Kingdom and he died on the 17th of July, 1790 in Panmure House, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

The equity theory by Adam Smith helps to measure and strike a balance between the work input and output of a worker.

An equality norm can be defined as a reward system in which the employer or human resource manager decide to compensate or pay the entire workforce the same amount of money without discrimination or favoritism.

Basically, it's paid regardless of individual productivity levels, in order to promote the ability to work effectively in groups.

According to equity theory, in order to restore equity or fairness of a work situation a worker may;

I. Try to have the inputs of coworkers increased.

II. Try to increase his or her own outputs.
