Answer:
3 workers
Explanation:
At optimal point, wage = Price * Marginal Product of Labour (MPL)
When 3 workers are employed,
Since wage is given = 25
And price = 4
When 3 workers are hired, wage is close to price * MPL because wage = 25 and p*MPL = 24
OR
salary paid = $25*3 = $75
Revenue generated = 24*$4= $96
This combination provides the best profit margin which is 96 - 75 = $21.
Answer:
attached below is the missing part of the question
$17000
Explanation:
1) calculate the cash dividends
= beginning earnings + net income for the period - ending retained earnings
= $44000 + $57000 - $68000 = $33000
2 ) calculate the amount of cash receipt from the sale of plant assets
first we will calculate the dep on sale of plant products
= beginning accumulated depreciation + depreciation expense - ending accumulated depreciation
= 22500 + 12000 - 24500 = $10000
next we calculate the cost of sale of plant assets
= beginning plant asset + acquisition new plant assets - ending plant asset
= $123500 + $29000 - $131500 = $21000
Hence the cash receipt from the sale plant assets = cost of sale of plant assets - dep on sale of plant products + gain on the sale of plant assets
= 21000 - 10000 + 6000 = $17000
Answer:
Residual Income = $6,000
Explanation:
Residual income is the excess income of a firm leftover the opportunity cost of capital or over the desired income.
Given,
The minimum rate of return 12%
Average operating assets = $300,000
Net operating income = $42,000
We know,
Residual Income = Net Operating Income - (Average operating assets x the minimum rate of return)
Residual Income = $42,000 - ($300,000 x 12%)
Residual Income = $42,000 - $36,000
Residual Income = $6,000
Answer:
$130,000
Explanation:
Sarah is making use of the needs approach to determine how much life insurance to buy
The first step is to calculate the total amount of life insurance
Total amount of life insurance = Total needs - total assets
Total need = income needs + cash needs + special needs
= $140,000 + $30,000 + $100,000
= $270,000
Total assets= retirement plan + bank account + investment account
= $30,000 + $20,000 + $40,000
= $90,000
Total amount of life insurance = $270,000-$90,000
= $180,000
Since Sarah is covered by $50,000 group insurance by her employer then the additional life insurance that should be purchased can be calculated as follows
= $180,000 - $50,000
= $130,000
