Answer: $2,974.45 million
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold for Year 7 = $2,945 million
Cost of goods sold is expected to increase by 1%.
Cost of goods sold in Year 8 will be:
= 2,945 * (1 + 1%)
= $2,974.45 million
Answer:
21%
Explanation:
We can calculate the expected return of a firm by add dividend yield and growth rate but in this question, the growth rate is not given therefore we will find growth rate first with the available data
DATA
Payout ratio = 0.4
Return on equity = 25%
Dividend yield = 6%
Solution
Growth rate = Return on equity x retention ratio
Growth rate = Return on equity x (1 - payout ratio)
Growth rate = 25% x (1-0.4)
Growth rate = 25% x 0.6
Growth rate = 15%
Expected return = Dividend yield + growth rate
Expected return = 6% + 15%
Expected return = 21%
Explanation:
When I was in school grade 9, I had my first interaction with a robot during a visit to technology expo since then I could not think of anything else but to awe for exploring the fascinating world of robots.
I didn't had much resources to buy tools and components to build robots but still my passion kept me motivated and I found my way to get hands on scrap parts available at the various spots in my locality. Slowly and gradually, I kept learning and building robots and by the time I was in my high school, I had already won 3 major school competitions and received tremendous amount of recognition. Due to my outstanding performance, I was awarded with merit scholarship for the college.
In college, I continued my handwork and kept myself busy in exploring the depth of robotics. I had the pleasure of working on a big project funded by a our college. The project was to build a search and rescue quad-copter. Honestly speaking, it was not easy! I worked day and night tirelessly, and finally after 6 months I successfully built the quad-copter.
My goal is to become an inventor in the field of robotics. Building such robots that can make a difference in our lives and help humanity to grow and thrive. I believe that engineering program at Princeton encourages such passion and vision and would be a great learning platform for me to showcase my talent and skills.
Answer: Functional
Explanation: The functional structure of an organisational chart places people with similar skills who perform similar activities in a group under a common manager who answers to an executive a level up in the hierarchy who may oversee multiple departments. Therefore, an organizational chart of a company showing vice presidents with responsibility for key areas such as design, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and after-sales support would reflect a functional structure.
An advantage of the functional structure is that employees are allowed to focus their collective energies on executing their roles as a department but sometimes they might develop tunnel vision (seeing the company solely through the lens of the employee’s job function) and often at times there is a lack of inter-departmental communication.
