Answer:
Even when competitive firms are unable to calculate marginal revenue product directly, <u>competition in the labor market</u> will push wage rates toward the marginal revenue product of labor.
Explanation:
The labor market is made up of employers seeking for labor and employees offering their labor services. The law of supply and demand also applies to this market, when more employers are seeking employees, the price (= salary) will increase.
For example, if many companies are making a profit and they need more labor, the salaries will rise because the demand is rising.
Also the suppliers, the potential employees, compete against each other for the best possible jobs.
Answer: $428
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that one bought 100 shares of stock at an initial price of $37 per share and that the stock paid a dividend of $0.28 per share during the following year, and the share price at the end of the year was $41.
The total dollar return on this investment will be calculated as:
= 100(41 - 37 + 0.28)
= $428
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Incremental cash flow is the potential increase or decrease in cash flow from an investment this could be positive or negative.
In this case in expanding a product line or launching a new project incremental cash flow could be.
a. Positive: this is the increase in cash flow due to the product launch and expansion.
b. Negative: this is the decrease in cash flow due to the product launch and expansion
2. a. Payback:
profit gotten from an initial investment equal to what was initially invested
b. Net Present Value(NPV)
This is the difference between present value of income and present value of expenditure over a period of time.
c. Internal Rate of Return(IRR)
Measure the rates of returns for an investment excluding external factors such as risk free rates, inflation e.t.c
d. Profitability Index Method (PIM)
this is the lowest acceptable measures of the rates of returns for an investment excluding external factors such as risk free rates,inflation e.t.c
Answer:
When a taxpayer has an underpayment of estimated tax or fall behind on his/her tax prepayment, then he/she is required to pay a penalty on Form 2210. This penalty is called underpayment penalty.
According to the tax laws, Mr. P and Ms. S can avoid an underpayment penalty if their withholding's and estimated tax payments equal or exceed one of the following two safe harbors:
- 90 percent of current tax liability ($200,000 x 90% = $180,000)
- 110 percent of previous year tax liability (110% x $170,000 = $187,000)
From the above calculation, it is clear that Mr. P and Ms. S's withholding's ($175,000) do not equal or exceed the amount of two safe harbors. So, they need to increase their withholding's or make estimated payments to avoid underpayment penalty.
If Mr. P and Ms. S increase their withholding's by $5,000 or make estimated payments of $1,250
per quarter ($5000/4), they can avoid the underpayment penalty.
Mr. Paula and Simon average gross income is greater than $150,000, so 110% is taken.
Answer:
(1). Increament in GDP.
(2). Decrease In marginal product.
(3). POSITIVE marginal Product (MP).
Explanation:
"If data links connecting different parts of the united states were to fail, gdp would fall. if, on the other hand, the network of state-of-the-art, high-speed connections were doubled in size" what will happen are given below;
=> There will be an increase in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
=> There will be a reduction In the value of the marginal Product (MP). The marginal Product (MP) will reduce as far more than the original network.
=> The marginal Product (MP) will be POSITIVE.
