The answer is B, tho I could also understand C, I am pretty sure it’s B.
Answer:
Discourage Torri from continuing. Encourage Julie to continue.
Explanation:
The progress of all trainees is tracked. Those not showing good progress are moved to less demanding programs. This means that there is hope of still doing/getting a job, if they don't pass this test.
REQUIREMENT: By the 10th time doing the test, trainees must be able to complete the task in a maximum of 1 hour.
1st Trainee: Torri Olson-Alves
5 hours on Unit 4; 4 hours on Unit 8
Should Torri be encouraged to continue? NO.
There are 10 units or repetitions in all. If Torri spends 5 hours on Unit 4 and spends 4 hours on Unit 8, then Torri is slow or isn't making much progress. After 4 repetitions, her marginal product only increased by an hour. She most likely won't make it to 1 hour by the 10th repetition.
2nd Trainee: Julie Burgmeier
4 hours on Unit 3; 3 hours on Unit 6
Should Julie be encouraged to continue? YES.
Julie makes a progress of 1 hour after 3 repetitions. We can predict that after another 3 repetitions (on Unit 9) progress would be made again and by Unit 10, she would have met the required benchmark.
Answer: c. a decision-making entity at a firm involved in a strategic game
Explanation:
In a theoretical game, there are two players that have to embark on different strategies such that they make the maximum payoff. This maximum payoff strategy is known as the dominant strategy.
These two players are the decision making entities in the firms that are competing in the game because they are the ones that decide how the firm should react and what strategy to use. For instance, the owners of the two bakeries down the street are the players because they control what either bakery will do.
Answer: $4.34
Explanation:
The net income for diluted earnings per share will be calculated as:
Net income: $2,500,000
Less: preferred dividend: $300,000
= $2,200,000
To calculate the number of shares goes thus:
Total shares of stock options = 10,000 × 20 = 200,000 shares
Proceeds = 200,000 × $29
= $580,000
Shares of treasury stock will be:
= $580,000/$30
= 193,333 shares
Net shares added will be:
= 200000 - 193333
= 6667
Tge total shares for the diluted earnings per share will now be:
= 500,000 + 6667
= 506,667
The diluted earnings per share:
= $2,200,000/506667
= $4.34
Answer:
The answer is option e. $44.46
Explanation:
The stock's expected price after 5 years can be expressed as;
FV=CV(1+RRR)^n
where;
FV=future value of stock/expected price after 5 years
CV=current price of stock
DGR=dividend growth rate
n=number of years
In our case;
FV=unknown
CV=$35.25 per share
DGW=4.75%=4.75/100=0.0475
n=5 years
replacing;
FV=35.25(1+0.0475)^5
FV=35.25(1.0475)^5
FV=44.46
