Suppose a severe drought results in a poor harvest and leads to higher overall food prices. This situation is a "supply" shock and is likely to lead to "cost-push" inflation.

<h3>What is cost-push inflation?</h3>

Cost-push inflation happens when a good or service's supply changes but its demand remains the same. Cost push is one of the two causes of inflation. The other is demand-pull inflation.

The causes of cost-push inflation are-

The most frequent causes of it include

  • monopolies,
  • wage increases,
  • natural disasters,
  • the introduction of regulations, and
  • changes in exchange rates.

In this situation, the supply levels fall down due to loss of harvest and demand remains the same. This will drive up the prices, leading to inflation.

Ray's Pizzeria is considering the addition of a 5th worker if this increases profit. Pizza sales increased from 300 per day to 3
Anika [276]

Answer:

60 pizzas

40 pizzas

Explanation:

Marginal product measures the change in output as a result of a change in input by one unit

Marginal product = change in output / change in input

Marginal product for the 4th worker

Change in output = 360 - 300 = 60 pizzas

Change in input = 4 - 3 = 1 worker

Marginal product = 60 / 1 = 60

Marginal product for the 5th worker

Change in output = 400 - 360 = 40 pizzas

Change in input = 5 - 4 = 1

Marginal product = 40 / 1 = 40

It can be seen that marginal product decreased from 60 to 40 when the 5th worker was added. This illustrates diminishing marginal returns.

The law of diminishing returns says as more units of a variable input is added to a fixed income of production, output might increase at a point but after some time total output would increase at a decreasing rate and marginal product would be decreasing.

Miltmar Corporation will pay a year-end dividend of $5, and dividends thereafter are expected to grow at the constant rate of 4%
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a. 10.04%

b. $82.78

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

a. Expected rate of return or market capitalization = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 5% + 0.72 × (12% - 5%)

= 5% + 0.72 × 7%

= 5% + 5.04%

= 10.04%

The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium and the same is applied.

b. Now the intrinsic value would be

= Expected dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)  

= $5 ÷ (10.04% - 4%)

= $5 ÷ 6.04%

= $82.78
