Answer: a). Firm's growth rate = 10.5%
b). Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00
Explanation: Earnings growth rate is the percentage change in earnings given specific variables.
The firm's earnings growth rate g = Return on equity (ROE) × Retained earnings (b) = 0.15(0.70)
g =0.105 or 10.5%
In finding next year's earnings, we multiply the current earnings times one plus the growth rate.
Next year's earnings = Current earnings(1 + g)
Next year's earnings = 28,000,000(1 + 0.105)
Next year's earnings = $30,940,000.00
Answer:
$12,280,000.
Explanation:
All the direct costs involved in the manufacturing of a product except fixed cost is called prime cost e.g direct material, direct labor etc.
Direct Material = $4,200,000
Direct labor = $8,080,000
Total Prime cost = Direct material + Direct labor = $4,200,000 + $8,080,000 = $12,280,000
Overhead costs are not classified as the prime cost because these are indirect costs.
Answer:
Mary should answer that more than half of the boxes not be rejected.
Explanation:
Probability:
Box has one defective screen = 0.6
Box has three defective screen = 0.4
no. of screens in a box = 8
The box is rejected if both of the inspected screens are defective.
Probability of rejecting a box:
= 0.04286
Only 4.286% of the boxes will be rejected.
Therefore, Mary should answer that more than half of the boxes not be rejected.
