Answer:
b. Battery
Explanation:
Retired utility workers are suing their former employer for knowingly exposing them to asbestos without warning them of the health risks. The retired workers did not learn of the prolonged exposure until long after their retirement because the company engaged in a systematic cover up of the exposure. The retired workers' cause of action is for battery.
In Business law, battery can be defined as the act of intentionally causing physical harm to an individual or group of people through physical contacts.
Hence, in this case the employers knowingly or intentionally exposed the retired workers to asbestos without warning them of the health risks associated.
<em>Simply stated, a battery in criminal law is completed assault. </em>
Answer:
$9.687
Explanation:
Given:
Year 3 dividend = $1.00
Year4&5 growth rate = 17%
Constant rate = 7%
Required return rate = 16%
Year 4 dividend wil be:
D4 = 1.00 * 1+growth rate
= 1.00 * (1+0.17)
= $1.17
Year 5 dividend=
D5 = $1.17 * (1+0.17)
= $1.3689
Value of stock after year 5 will be given as:
= $16.2747
For the current value of stock, we have:
Cv= Fd* Pv of discounting factor
Where Cv = current value of stock
Fd = future dividend
Pv = Present value of discounting factor
Therefore,
=$9.6871382455
≈ $9.687
The value of stock today =
$9.687
Answer:
the expected return of a stock is 10.542%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return on a stock is shown below:
Expected return on stock is
= Risk free rate + beta × (market rate of return - risk free rate)
= 2.2% + 0.86 × (11.9% - 2.2%)
= 2.2% + 0.86 × 9.7%
= 2.2% + 8.342
= 10.542%
hence, the expected return of a stock is 10.542%
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
And, the same is to be considered
Answer:
$2.25 per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the cost per equivalent is shown below:
= Total conversion cost ÷ total units completed
where,
Total conversion cost is
= Beginning work in process conversion cost + cost of conversion added
= $20,250 + 271,125
= 291,375
And, the number of units is
= Units completed + work in process ending inventory units × completion percentage
= 115,700 units + 23,000 units × 60%
= 115,700 + 13,800
= 129,500 units
So, the cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost is
= $291,375 ÷ 129,500 units
= $2.25 per unit
