Why is it important for the balance of payments to balance?

Rudiy27

Answer:

A country's balance of payments tells you whether it saves enough to pay for its imports. ... A balance of payments deficit means the country imports more goods, services and capital than it exports. It must borrow from other countries to pay for its imports. In the short-term, that fuels the country's economic growth.

When companies recruit people to promote products to friends and other contacts in exchange for free samples or other rewards,

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The answer is: Referral marketing

Explanation:

Referral marketing is like word of mouth marketing, but with a reward.

We are all social creatures, some more than others, and we like to tell our friends about things that might be considered interesting, new, good, etc (a little gossip). We also know by now that advertisement is usually not 100% accurate, so we don´t fully trust it. When one of our friends tells us that they tried product X and it was great, we do trust them and probably will end up buying product X.

If the government sets out to make home buying easier for more people by forcing lenders to accept ____________ down payments an

Artemon [7]

Answer:

If the government sets out to make home buying easier for more people by forcing lenders to accept LOWER down payments and LOWER interest rates, the result will likely be an INCREASE in housing prices

Explanation:

If either interest rates or down payment amounts lower, the quantity demanded for houses will increase a little, possible leading to a small increase in the prices of houses.

If both interest rates and down payment amounts lower, then the quantity demanded for houses should increase a lot, which will result in an increase in the prices of houses.

This happened during the first decade of our century and everything was fine until the interest rates started to increase and people could no longer pay their mortgages and BOOM, the economy busted.

Western Electric has 32,500 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $80 and a rate of return of 12.95 percent

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

c. 11.10%

Explanation:

Options are <em>"a. 10.29% b. 10.51% c. 11.10% d. 10.72% e. 11.49%"</em>

Market Value of Equity = $80 * 32,500

Market Value of Equity = $2,600,000

Market Value of Preferred Stock = $95.50 * 7350

Market Value of Preferred Stock = $701,925

Market Value of Debt = $407,000 * 1.115

Market Value of Debt = $453,805

Total Market Value = Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Preferred Stock + Market Value of Debt

Total Market Value = $2,600,000 + $701,925 + $453,805

Total Market Value = $3,755,730

kP = Annual Dividend / Current Market Price

kP = $7.90 / $95.50

kP = 0.082723

kP = 8.27%

WACC = [wD * kD * (1 - t)] + [wP * kP] + [wE * kE]

WACC = [(453,805/3,755,730) * 8.11% * (1 - 0.40)] + [(701,925/3,755,730) * 8.27%] + [(2,600,000/3,755,730) * 12.95%]

WACC = 0.59% + 1.55% + 8.96%

WACC = 11.10%
