Answer: D. Restrictions on travel into and out of affected areas.
Explanation:
Restrictions on travel in and out of affected areas can lead to Scarcity in a Pandemic because there is no free movement of labour and capital.
With borders shut down, goods that were normally imported will suddenly become very hard to acquire because getting them through travel bans is very hard and in most cases, impossible.
Also affected are services as, for instance, the people who provided such services might live in or come from the place they provide said service to. Getting into those areas might prove too cumbersome a task thereby limiting Service provision.
Looking at the current Corona Virus Pandemic that has seen the most extensive Travel Restrictions by Countries in recent times and looking at the Scarcity being suffered by those same countries, drawing the conclusion that the Scarcity is as a result of an impediment to free movement of Goods and Services is most logical.
Answer:
$25 per batch
Explanation:
Combined final sales value:
= Sales value of refined sugar + Sales value of industrial fiber
= $65 + $65
= $130
Financial advantage:
= Combined final sales value - Further Processing - sugar beets costs - Cost to Crush
= $130 - ($17 + $21) - $54 - $13
= $130 - $38 - $54 - $13
= $25 per batch
Therefore, the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar is $25.

Answer: 9.48%
Explanation:
Given Data
Debts ;
$7 billion
$2 billion
$13 billion
Beta of Fords stock = Beta = 1.50
Market risk premium = Rp = 8.0%
Risk free rate of interest = Rf = 4.0%
Equity rate = 1.7
Market risk rate = 0.8
Risk free rate = 0.03
Therefore;
Cost of Equity ( Re ) = Risk free rate + equity rate × market risk premium
= 0.03 + (1.7 × 0.8)
= 0.166
Preferred Stock Cost ( PSC)= Dividend ÷ stock price
= 4 ÷ 30
= 0.1333
Total debt = 13 + 6 + 2 = 21 billion
D% = 13 billion ÷ 21 billion
= 0.619
E% = 6 billion ÷ 21 billion
= 0.286
P% = 2 billion ÷ 21 billion
= 0.095
RD = debt capital at 8% maturity rate
Tc= 30%
Rwac =(w/ preferred stock)
= Re × E% + PSC × P% + Rd ( 1- Tc) D%
Rwac = (0.166)(0.286) + (0.1333)(0.095) + (0.08)(1- 0.3)*(0.619)
= 0.094803 * 100
= 9.48%
At 30% tax rate Ford weighted average cost is 9.48%
Answer:
Total monthly saving = $1,315
Explanation:
Given:
Oakland Los Angeles
Cost Housing $565 $1200
Food $545 $655
Health Care $245 $495
Taxes $450 $625
Other Necessities $350 $495
Find:
Total monthly saving
Computation:
Saving in house = $1200 - $565 = $635
Saving in food = $655 - $545 = $110
Saving in health care = $495 - $245 = $250
Saving in taxes = $625 - $450 = $175
Saving in necessities = $495 - $350 = $145
Total monthly saving = $635+$110+$250+$175+$145
Total monthly saving = $1,315
