Answer:

a. the marginal product of labor equals the wage

Explanation:

The marginal product of labor represents the increase in output as a result of employing one more unit of labor. It is the additional output associated with an extra unit of labor.  The wage rate is the amount paid to workers for the provision of labor services.

For a firm to profit from an extra worker, the output from that worker must be equal or higher than the amount paid to the employee. In other words, the marginal product of labor must be equal to the wage rate.  Should the wage exceed the marginal cost, the firm will incur losses.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Internal control comprises the whole system of financial and other controls established and operating within a business, including internal check, internal audit and all other forms of control.

Based on Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) framework, there are 5 interrelated components of internal control, which are: Control environment, Risk assessment, Control activities, Information and communication and Monitoring.

It is necessary to stress that internal control relates to all forms of controls within an organization and not necessarily limited to only accounting matters e.g., a security check on vehicles exiting business premises to be sure they are not carrying stolen items from the organization is an internal control but not an accounting-related.

The last dividend paid by Wilden Corporation was $1.55. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 1.5% for 2 years,
shtirl [24]

Answer:

e)  $37.05

Explanation:

Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.

So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula

P = D (1+g)/r-g

r- rate of return, g = growth rate

Present value of the future dividends:

PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)

                     = 1.4047

PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)

                     =  1.27

PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)

Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)

=43.114

Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

  =43.114 × (1.12^(-2))

   = 34.37

Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37

                                       = $37.05

Note

To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0
