Answer:

Comedy as a Profession is a great example.

Explanation:

The science of it is related to the psychology of what makes people laugh.

If studied, one would realize that there are certain things that are bound to make people laugh (all things being equal). An example is when a person makes fun of themself to an audience.

To explain this, scientists have stated that it is inherent in humans to laugh at the misfortune of others. However, this is just a theory and does not explain why we laugh at other kinds of comedy.

A plausible explanation (which is more recent in the parlance of psychology) is that people also laugh when certain expectations are defied in a very witty manner.

As a professional stand-up comedian, knowing all the rules and tricks is just one part of the coin. Being able to, either by practice or repeated efforts during practice, internalize these principles, practice them and effectively use them is the artistic part of the picture.

There those who are gifted naturally with a principle thought process that elicits laughter from others, would be termed hilarious. However, to make a living out of comedy, one would need to fully understand the principles and practice to deliver them as naturally as possible.

Another paradigm to the art of comedy is that, it has to be very witty. Wit many times may come with an element of suprise... a new angle that was previously "unthought" of.

Cheers!

Joker stock has a sustainable growth rate of 7 percent, ROE of 10 percent, and dividends per share of $1.20. If the P/E ratio is

belka [17]

Answer:

P/E ratio = Market price per share

Earnings per share

15 = Market price per share

Market price per share = 15 x $4 = $60

Growth rate = Retention rate x ROE

0.07 = Retention rate x 0.10

0.07 = Retention rate

0.10

Retention rate = 0.7 = 70%

Dividend pay-out ratio = 100% - 70%

Dividend pay-out ratio = 30%

Earnings per share = 100/30 x $1.20 = $4

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the formula of price-earnings ratio, which is market price per share divided by earnings per share. The P/E ratio was given while the earnings per share is derived. The market price per share becomes the subject of the formula.

In order to determine the earnings per share, we need to obtain the retention ratio by applying the formula of growth rate. In this case, growth rate and ROE were provided in the question with the exception of retention rate. Thus, the retention rate is made the subject of the formula. Having obtained the retention rate, we will now obtain the dividend payout ratio which is 100% minus retention rate.

Then, we will obtain the earnings per share by dividing 100 by the pay-out ratio multiplied by the dividend per share.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Company A and Company B

Calculation of Goodwill on Acquisition:

= $212,433

Explanation:

a) Current market value of:

Tangible physical assets = $1,234,567

Intangible asset = $125,000

Total assets' value = $1,359,567

less Liabilities:

Operating = $160,000

Financial = 600,000 ($760,000)

Net value of assets = $599,567

Purchase Price (Company B) $812,000

Goodwill $212,433

b) Company A acquired Goodwill when it bought over Company B. This is an intangible asset which is calculated by subtracting the net value of assets (the difference between the fair market value of the assets and liabilities) from the purchase price of the acquired subsidiary.

Suppose that Par, Inc., management encounters the following situations:

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

[a]. 10560, [b]. 14160, [c]. 7668.

Explanation:

[a]. In order to be able to solve this particular question we have to consider what is known as LINEAR PROGRAMMING.

We have the assumption that the function to be equals to 10A + 9B. The first step that we need to take here is to find the constraint for the linear programming relaxation which is;

1/2A + 5/6B $\leq$ 600.

1/10A + 1/4B $\leq$ 135. Thus, A $\geq$ 0 and B

With the help of excel solver and graphs, that we have the profit at $18 we are going have the value of A =300 and B =420. Therefore, the optimal solution = [300,420].

Thus, we have the objective function value to be = 10,560. [that is 10 * 300 + 420 * 18}.

[b]. For option b, where the profit increases to $20, the optimal solution lies on A =708 and B =0. Hence, objective function value = 14,160[ that is 20 * 708 + 0].

[c]. Here, there is increase in the sewing operation capacity to 750 hours. Therefore, we will have the value of A = 540 and B = 252.

Thus, the objective function value = 7668.
