Answer:
Q1) a. 6.60%
Q2) c. retaining a higher percentage of earning will result in a higher growth rate.
Explanation:
Q1.)
Use dividend discount model (DDM) to solve for the growth rate;
g = r- (D1/P0)
whereby;
g = dividend growth rate
r = required rate of return = 11.40% or 0.1140 as a decimal
D1 = next year's dividend = $1.14
P0 = Current stock price = $23.75
g = 0.1140 - (1.14/23.75)
g = 0.1140 - 0.048
g = 0.066 or 6.6%
Therefore, the growth rate is 6.60%, making choice A correct.
Q2.)
c. Retained earning is the proportion of total net profit that a company reinvests back into the business for the purpose of investing in other potentially profitable projects.The returns from these projects would increase the value of the company at a faster rate if a higher percentage e.g 90% is retained. On the other hand, if the company pays a larger portion of its retained earnings e.g 70% as dividends, it will experience a slower growth rate making choice C correct.

Answer:
The answer to the question is False.
Explanation:
Materials Price and Efficiency Variance measures cost of materials purchased against the amount budgeted for it. When materials which are higher in quality are purchased at a lower price, the <em>Materials Price Variance </em>is said to be <em>favorable.</em> This means that it should lead to a lower number of rejected units given that one purchased materials of higher quality.
Labor price variance is favourable if the actual cost of labor to the organisation fall below the budgeted amount.
The measure of expected output from a certain input of materials is referred to as material yield variance. Material yield variance is directly related to labour efficience variance.
A favorable labor price/material yield variance should result in faster work pace and lower of waste or rejects.
Therefore the above assertions are false.
