Answer:

$10

Explanation:

The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) is an economic theory that illustrates the rate at which one factor must decrease so that the same level of productivity can be maintained when another factor is increased.

DATA

Marginal Product Labor (MPL)= 12

Marginal Product Capital (MPk) = 20

Price of labor = w = 6

Price of capital = r

Solution

Marginal rate of technical substitution = MPL/MPk

Marginal rate of technical substitution = 12/20

Marginal rate of technical substitution = 3/5

At optimal choice MRTS = PL/Pk  

MRTS = w/r

3/5 = 6/r

3r = 30

r = 30/3

r = 10

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Oak Corp distributed $15,000 to Glover and we are required to compute the amount and character of gain Glover must recognize under the scenarios as stated in the question:

a. No gain will be recognized by Glover. Rather, his stock basis will be reduced from $35,000 to $20,000 ($35,000 basis - $15,000 cash distribution). So, gain recognized by him is $0.

b. Long term capital gain of $7,000 ($15,000 - $8,000) will be recognized by Glover and his stock basis will be reduced from $8,000 to $0.

c. The entire $15,000 ($15,000-$0) will be recognized as long term capital gain by Glover and his stock basis will remain $0.

The method of least squares was used to develop a cost equation to predict the cost of monthly equipment maintenance. The follow
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

correct option is b. $200,000

Explanation:

given data

Intercept = 40,000

Slope = 20

machine hours X = 8000

to find out

what is the predicted cost of equipment maintenance for April

solution

we will use here least square equation that  will be

Y = intercept + Slope ×  X      ............................1

here Y is cost of maintenance  and X is maintenance hours

so put here value we get from equation 1

Y = 40000 +  ( 20 ×   8000 )

Y = 40000 + 160000

Y = 200000

so  predicted cost of equipment maintenance for April is 200000

correct option is b. $200,000

Utica Company’s net accounts receivable was $250,000 at December 31, 2016, and $300,000 at December 31, 2017. Net cash sales for
dexar [7]

Answer:

Total Net Sales = $1475000

Explanation:

Average Accounts Receivables = (250000 + 300000) / 2

Average Accounts Receivables = 275000

Accounts Receivables Turnover = Credit sales / Average Accounts Receivables

So,

5 = Credit Sales / 275000

5 * 275000 = Credit Sales

Credit Sales = $1375000

Total Sales = Credit Sales + Cash Sales

Total Sales = 1375000 + 100000 = $1475000

In practice, a common way to value a share of stock when a company pays dividends is to value the dividends over the next five y
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Stock Price in 5 years: $97.94. Stock Price Today: $55.575

Explanation:

A pay-out ratio is computed by dividing dividends per share over earnings per share. Meanwhile, PE or Price-Earnings Ratio is computed by dividing the market value of stocks over earnings per share. Thus, using the pay-out ratio formula, the earnings per share is 2.925 ($1.17/40%) and using the PE ratio formula, the market price of stocks today is $55.575 (19 x 2.925). After 5 years, multiplying 1.17 and 12% rate raised to the 5th power, the dividend will amount to $5.1548. Using pay-out ratio, earnings per share is 5.1548 ($2.0619/40%) and the market price of stock after 5 years is $97.94 ($5.1548 x 19).
