Answer:

a. $700,000

86%

c. No

Explanation:

a. Jacobs will earn $700,000 per year. This equals the normal salary for a designer, $100,000, plus the economic rent he collects for his special talent, $600,000.  

6/7 or 0.857 or 86% of his salary is thus economic rent. This is found by 600,000/700,000

b. The answer is No. If Jacobs’s employer withholds some of the additional revenue it takes in as a result of hiring him, some other advertising company will offer him a higher salary and still manage to earn an economic profit. Bidding for Jacobs will continue until firms are indifferent between paying him $600,000 and hiring any other designer for $100,000.

TMS just paid an annual dividend of $2.84 per share on its stock. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of 1.85
bija089 [108]

Answer:

$41.39

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Annul Dividend paid, D0 = $2.84 per share

Growth rate, g = 1.85% = 0.0185

Rate of return required, r = 10.4% = 0.104

Now,

Current price of the stock at year 11 = D12 ÷ [ r - g]

= [ $2.84 × (1 + g)¹²] ÷ [ r - g]

=  [ $2.84 × (1 + 0.0185)¹²] ÷ [ 0.104 - 0.0185]

= 3.539 ÷ 0.0855

= $41.39

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The computation of the labor rate variance is shown below:  

= Actual Hours × (Actual rate - standard rate)  

= 5,050 × ($16.80 per hour - $16 per hour)  

= 5,050 × $0.80 per hour

= $4,040 unfavorable

b. The computation of the labor time variance is shown below:  

= Standard Rate × (Actual hours - Standard hours)  

= $16 per hour × (5,050 hours - 1,000 × 5.4 hours)  

= $16 per hour × -350 hours

= -$5,600 favorable

c. The computation of the total labor variance is shown below:  

= (Actual hours × Actual rate) - (Standard hours × standard rate)

= (5,050 hours × $16.80 per hour) - (1,000 bicycles × 5.4 hours × $16 per hour)

= $84,840 - $86,400

= -$1,560 favorable
