Answer:
the firm's average salary increased by 40%
Explanation:
the average salary for last year = [(5 x $25,000) + (2 x $60,000) + $255,000] / 6 = $500,000 / 6 = $83,333.33
this year's average salary = [(5 x $25,000) + (2 x $60,000) + $455,000] / 6 = $700,000 / 6 = $116,666.67
this means that the average salary has increased by = [($116,666.67 - $83,333.33) / $83,333.33] x 100 = 40%
Answer:
The correct answer to the problem is 7.728%
Explanation:
Lucas marginal tax rate = 32 percent
Tax rate on dividends = 16 percent
Dividend yield of a dividend-paying stock (with no growth potential) = 9.20 percent.
To determine the interest rate a municipal bond have to offer for Lucas to be indifferent between the two investments from a cash flow perspective =
Dividend yield multiplied by ( 1- tax rate on dividends)
= 9.20% × (1 - 16%)
= 0.092 × (1 - 0.16)
= 0.092 × 0.84
= 7.728%
Answer:
Option D is correct
Expected rate of return = 18.6%
Explanation:
The expected rate of return is the proportion of average investment that is earned as income . It is calculated as follows:
Rate of return on investment = average return / Average investment
Average investment = (Initial cost + salvage value)/ 2
Average investment = 89,000 +14,000/ 2= 51500
Net income = $9,600
Expected rate of return = 9,600/51,500× 100
= 18.6%
Answer:
Economy's marginal social benefit=$65
Explanation:
The economy's marginal social benefit can be calculated by getting the average of the individual marginal benefit.
This can be expressed as;
Economy's marginal social benefit=Sum of individual marginal benefit/Total number of individual's
where;
Sum of individual marginal benefit=John's marginal benefit+Nick's marginal benefit+Christina's marginal benefit=(80+50+65)=$195
Total number of individuals=3
replacing;
Economy's marginal social benefit=195/3=65
Economy's marginal social benefit=$65
