Answer: $90
Explanation: This problem can be solved by using following equation :-
Let John's hourly wage rate be J, Mary's hourly wage rate be M and Dennis hourly wage rate be D, therefore :-
Mary's rate will be :-
M = 2J............equation 1
AND,
J + D = $60 ..... equation 2
Similarly,
D = 1/3J
Now,putting the value of D in equation 2 we get,
J + 1/3J = $60
J = $45
Putting the values of J in equation equation 1 we get,
M = 2 * $45
= $90
So, Mary's hourly wage rate is $90
Answer:
1. Companies like P&G have their customer base consisting on end customers whose choice of toothpaste and towels which can change depending on multiple influencers like cost, other attractive features in competitors, freebies etc. Thus a strong customer focus and reach is essential to even retain the current customer base. Thus these companies need to focus on advertising to remain competitive in the current market atmosphere.
2. The numbers of advertising companies can be appropriately engaged based on cost and effectiveness as long as there are sufficient companies customizing the advertising and marketing efforts for the region in focus. If there are too many agencies running the advertising, the cost could be very high. If the number of agencies are decreased to too low and same advertising efforts are used in different type of demographic regions, the impact and effectiveness of the advertising could be less and not as effective as required. Thus choosing the sufficient number of agencies to reach all the required demographic regions is essential to balance the cost and effectiveness of advertising.

Thus after studying the market and weighing all the aspects, it could make sense for P&G to consolidate and cut the less profitable businesses.
Answer:
$42.604
Explanation:
Using dividend growth model we have D1 = $1.25, dividend at end of year 1
P1 = $45 price at the end of year 1
Ke = 10% Cost of capital or expected return
g = ? the growth rate expected
Thus
D2 = D1 + g
$45 = 
$4.5 - 45g = 1.25 + g
$3.25 = 46g
7.06% = g
Now, using value of g we have
P0 = 
Current price P0 = $42.604
Answer:
$7708 favorable
Explanation:
Volume variance shows the negative differentiation between the actual and the budgeted quantity sold at a budgeted sales price per unit.
A positive figure for volume variance indicates that it is favorable, and a negative figure for volume variance shows that it is unfavorable.
Volume variance = (Actual Quantity - Budgeted quantity sold) × Budgeted sale price per unit.
Volume variance = ( 1070 units - 988units) × $94
Volume variance = 82 units × $94
Volume variance =$7708 favorable
