Answer:

Objective function:

Maximize Z: 30P1 + 25P2 + 28P3

Subject to: 2.00P1 + 1.50P2 + 3.00P3 ≤ 450 (Department A constraint)

2.50P1 + 2.00P2 + P3 ≤ 350 (Department B constraint)

0.25P1 + 0.25P2 + 0.25P3 ≤ 50 (Department C constraint)

P1, P2, P3 ≥ 0 (Non-negativity)

Explanation:

The objective function is formulated from the contribution margin of the three products. For instance, the contribution of Product 1 is $30, the contribution of Product 2 is $25 and the contribution of Product 3 is $28. Thus, the objective function will be 30P1 + 25P2 + 28P3.

The constraints were obtained from the departmental labour hours requirements for each product. For instance, Product 1 requires 2 hours in department A, Product 2 requires 1.50 hours in department A and Product 3 requires 3 hours in Department A. Thus, the constraint will be 2.00P1 + 1.50P2 + 3.00P3.

When shares are issued, the Common Stock increases :

a. For par value Common Stocks, any price paid in excess of par value is accounted in Excess of Par Reserve.

b. For no par value shares, there is no Excess of Par Reserve, we simply record the increase in Common Stock at the price paid for.

The firm projects a rapid growth of 40 percent for the next two years and then a growth rate of 20 percent for the following two

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The price of the stock today is $15.63

Explanation:

The three stage Dividend Discount model will be used to calculate the price of this stock as the dividends are growing at three different growth rates. These dividends will be discounted back to calculate the price of the stock today.

The price per share today under this model will be:

P0 = D1 / (1+r) + D2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + Dn / (1+r)^n + [Dn * (1+gC) / (r - gC)] / (1+r)^n

Where,

D1 is the dividend expected for the next period of Year 1.

gC is the constant growth rate or third stage growth rate that will last forever.

P0 = 1.25 / (1+0.2) + 1.25 * (1+0.4) / (1+0.2)^2 + 1.25 * (1+0.4) * (1+0.2) / (1+0.2)^3 + 1.25 * (1+0.4) * (1+0.2)^2 / (1+0.2)^4 +

[1.25 * (1+0.4) * (1+0.2)^2 * (1+0.08) / (0.2 - 0.08)] / (1+0.2)^4

The P0 = $15.625 rounded off to $15.63

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Option E (Compromising) would be the correct choice.

Explanation:

A conflict mediation method of consensus attempts to discover a reason to reasonably pleasing parties and from both sides of the debate.
When it becomes more necessary to optimize a compromise than for the conclusion to always be perfect, a deadline is fast approaching, even at such an ongoing crisis, because you need a workable measure only for the moment, such style might be suitable to be using.

The other choices aren't relevant to the situation presented. Because otherwise, that is the right answer.
