Answer:
Prices ensure an equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.
Explanation:
The price mechanism helps in the efficient allocation of resources. There are a number of functions performed by the price mechanism. Prices send signals regarding resources. An increase and decrease in prices reflect surplus and deficit.
Price balances the demand and supply of a product. Price is inversely related to demand and positively related to the supply of a product. It is determined by the interaction of demand and supply and helps in balancing supply and demand.

Answer:
(a) $546,300
(b) $12.88
Explanation:
(a) Earnings available to common stockholders:
= Dividend + Retained Earnings
= 33,300 + 513,000

Answer:
equity = $19500
Explanation:
Given data:
current assets $3900
net fixed assets $26,500
current liabilities $3400
debt = $7500
Total liabilities = current liabilities + long term debt
= 3400 + 7500 = $ 10,900
Total assets = current assets + net fixed assets
= 3900 + 26,500 = $30,400
We know
total assets = total liabilities + equity
30400 = 10900+ equity
equity = $19500
