Answer:

C. 120

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

                                      (L × K)

<u>Labor L      Capital K   Quantity of Output Q         Total cost TC</u>

1                    2                      2                                       $40

2                   4                      8                                       $80

                                                                   (2 × $20 + 4 × $10)

3                    6                    18                                       $120

                                                                  (3 × $20 + 6 × $10)

4                    8                     32                                      $160

                                                                 (4 × $20 + 8 × $10)

As we can see that if we considered 3 units of labor so the total cost is $120

Hence, the correct option is c.

A bond with 25 years to maturity, 7% coupon, quoted on a 6.25% basis is callable in 10 years at 103, 15 years at 102, and 20 yea
eduard

Answer: 10 years to call

Explanation:

Maturity period = 25 years

Coupon rate = 7%

6.25% basis is,

  • Callable in 10 years at 103
  • Callable in 15 years at 102
  • Callable in 20 years at par

This bond is considered as premium bond. Therefore, in case of premium bonds, Yield to call will be lower than the yield to maturity. Here, the question is which call date should be utilized. According to the rule of thumb, it states that always use the term that is nearest to the whole call date.

Hence, on the customer's confirmation, the dollar price quoted must be based on 10 years to call.

Production run are typically schedule into one or two shifts; which may be during the day alone or during the day and night.
2. FALSE
Hiring the needed complement will eliminate OVERTIME, not the second shift. Hiring the needed complement usually remove the need for all overtime. Hiring the needed complement will make having a second production run team possible and this second team can handle the production process that ought to be done through overtime.
3. FALSE.

Staff turnover refers to the rate at which employees are leaving a company and new employees are been absorbed. High staff turnover will make the company to spend more money on resources and training of new staffs.  
4. TRUE.
During periods of high demand, production usually increases and more workers are hired. Instead of hiring more workers, a company that has two production shifts may decide to add more workers to the first shift in order to increase the amount of work that could be done. This will result in the decrease in the number of the workers in the second shift.
5. FALSE
Increasing training hours decreases needed complement. Increasing the training hours will equip the workers with the needed knowledge which will make them more effective and productive. This will decreases the complement needed for the production process.
6. RECRUITING COST [B].
In a situation where a company has to hire more workers to the one it already has on ground as a result of increased production, then the company will have to spend extra money in the process of recruiting the needed workers.
7. DECREASE [B]
If the productive index is already at 100%, adding overtime will decreases the productivity index. This is because, overtime has a way of reducing the efficiency and the productivity of the workers, thus decreasing the amount of work done by them.
8. FALSE.
Workers training is entered in hours. The amount of training received by workers are measured in hours. The higher the training hours, the higher the amount of training which a worker has undergone and the higher will be the value of that worker to the company.
9. C
Each company is expected to have a base amount of $1,000 for each new worker that is hired. The company may decide to eliminate all other recruiting costs but this base amount can not be eliminated.
10. SEPARATION COST [C].

Separation cost refers to the cost that is needed to lay off an employee from an organisation. When the production level decreases or the company decide to automate their production processes, then some workers will have to be sacked and these workers have to be paid some money before they leave the company. This result in increase in the amount of money that the company will spend on separation cost.

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $2.57 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $2.20, $2.31, $2
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Answer:

Growth rate (g) = n-1√(<u>Latest dividend)</u>     - 1

                                      Current  dividend

                          = 4-1√($2.49/2.20)   -1  

                         = 3√(1.1318)  -1  

                        = 1.04  -  1

                        = 0.04 = 4%

Ke = Do<u>(1 + g) </u>  +  g

               Po

Ke =  $2.57(<u>1  +  0.04</u>)  + 0.04

                         65

Ke = 0.04 + 0.04

Ke = 0.08 = 8%

Explanation:

In this  case, we need to calculate the growth rate using the above formula. Then, the cost of equity will be  calculated. Cost of equity is a function of current dividend paid subject to growth rate divided by current market price.
