Answer:
B. Fewer workers will be needed.
Explanation:
Elastic demand refers to a flexible demand. It is a demand that can increases or decreases due to several factors. If demand is not elastic, it implies it is constant. An increase or decrease in output or price will not affect the quantity demanded.
An increase in productivity means an increase in output per worker. It is the increase in the number of units produced, per hour, per worker. An increase in productivity results in more output in a given period than previously.
If the demand is constant and there is an increase in productivity, only a few workers will be required. The output from the few workers will be high to meet the constant demand.
Answer:
Flagon Transcontinental Corp.'s board of directors announced that it will pay a $1 million dividend in three months on this date - Declaration Date On the declaration date, the firm announces that it will pay dividends. If the company is large, it pays for a press release on a newspaper, or even, on TV.
Transcontinental Corp. actually sent the dividend checks to stockholders on this date - Payment Date.
Self-explanatory, this is the date on which checks are sent to shareholders who were recorded eligible for payment on the record-date.
Flagon Transcontinental Corp.'s board of directors declared that whoever is listed as the owner of the stock on this date will receive the dividend for this year - Holder-of-Record date.
Also known as the record date, on this date, the firm determines which shareholders will receive the dividend.
Transcontinental Corp.'s board of directors set this date as the date on which the right to the current dividend no longer accompanies the stock - Ex-Dividend Date.
On this date, the value of the next dividend payment is substracted from the stock price. The Ex-Dividend Date is usually the day before the Record-Date, because shareholders that were found uneligible for dividend payment are now the holders of ex-dividend stocks.
Answer:
5%
12%
Explanation:
Unemployment rate is the fraction of the labour force that are unemployed but are actively looking for work
Types of unemployment include:
Frictional unemployment : it is the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. The 300 unemployed people are frictionally unemployed
structural unemployment : it occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition . Structural unemployment tends to be permanent. The 420 unemployed people are structurally unemployed
Voluntary unemployment : e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.
Cyclical unemployment : occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy
Frictional unemployment = (total frictional unemployed people / total labour force ) x 100
(300 / 6000) x 100 = 5%
Total unemployment rate = (total frictional unemployed people + total structural unemployed individuals / total labour force ) x 100
[(300 + 420) / 6000] x 100 = 12%
Answer:
$7.60
Explanation:
Find PV dividend per year at 14% discount rate;
0.30 / 1.14 = 0.2632
0.50 / 1.14² = 0.3847
0.75 / 1.14³ = 0.5062
1 / (1.14^4) = 0.5921
1.20 / (1.14^5) = 0.6232
Find the PV of the terminal cashflow;
Next, sum up the PVs to find the price of the stock today;
Price = 0.2632 + 0.3847 + 0.5062 + 0.5921 + 0.6232 + 5.2308
= $7.60
