Answer:
b) 5
Explanation:
W TP MP MRP
1 100
2 190 90 900
3 270 80 800
4 340 70 700
5 400 60 600
6 450 50 500
7 490 40 400
8 520 30 300
the marginal product of n labor = (total product of n labor - the total product of p labor)/(n-p)............(n>p)
Marginal revenue product = marginal product*price
the firm employ input up to marginal revenue product equal to the wage
MRP = wage or closest lower wage
where W = 5
the firm will higher 5 workers.
Answer:
13.82%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Sales = $325,000
Net income = $19,000
Assets = $250,000
Total-debt-to-total-assets ratio = 45.0% = 0.45
Now,
Total asset turnover = Sales ÷ Total assets
= $325,000 ÷ $250,000
= 1.3
Profit margin = Net income ÷ Sales
= $19,000 ÷ $325,000
= 0.05846
Equity multiplier = 1 ÷ [ 1 - Debt to asset ratio]
= 1 ÷ [ 1 - 0.45 ]
= 1.818
thus,
ROE = Profit margin × Total asset turnover × Equity multiplier
= 0.05846 × 1.3 × 1.818
= 0.1382
or
= 0.1382 × 100%
= 13.82%
