Answer:

Labour is an active factor of production. It is the factor that starts production. Land and Capital alone cannot start production, so they are passive factors. They need the active factor of production, i.e. labour to be productive themselves.

Fowler is expected to pay a dividend of $1.81 one year from today and $1.96 two years from today. The company has a dividend pay

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

$77.34

Explanation:

The computation of the current stock price is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

EPS for year 2 = Dividend at year 2 ÷ Payout Ratio

= $1.96 ÷ 0.40

= $4.90

Now the price at year 2 is

Price at year 2 ÷ EPS at year 2 = PE ratio

Price at year 2 ÷ $4.90 = 18.95

Price at year 2 = $92.855

Now finally the current stock price is

= Dividend at year 1 ÷ (1 + rate of interest) + Dividend at year 2 ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^2 + Price at year 2 ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^2

= $1.81 ÷ 1.119 + $1.96 ÷ 1.119^2 + $92.855 ÷ 1.119^2

= $77.34

Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows. Sal

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= 0.2*33 + 0.5*22 + 0.3*41

Weighted average contribution margin= $29.9

Break-even point (units)= 4,544,800 / 29.9

Break-even point (units)= 152,000 units

Now, for each product:

Lawnmowers= 0.2*152,000=30,400

Weed-trimmers= 0.5*152,000= 76,000

Chainsaws= 0.3*152,000= 45,600

Victryl Company applies overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, Victryl estimates overhead to be $70

yan [13]

Answer:

correct option is a. $1,700 over head applied

Explanation:

given data

overhead = $700,000

machine hours = 200,000

direct labor hours = 35,000

Feb, direct labor hours = 5,000

Feb, machine hours = 10,000

Feb, actual overhead = $98,300

solution

we know overhead rate that is

overhead rate = $\frac{Budget overhead}{allocation base}$

overhead rate = $\frac{700000}{35000}$

overhead rate = $20 per hours

and in Feb for 5000 direct labor hour

overhead = 5000 × $20 = $100,000

over head applied = $100,000 - $98300

over head applied = $1700

so correct option is a. $1,700 over head applied

amid [387]

The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A. a market system
B. a planned system
C. a mixed system
D. none of the above

I think the correct answer is option B. Cecelia's government can be considered a planned system. It is an economic system in which inputs are based on direct allocation. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
