A company recently issued 9% preferred stock. The preferred stock sold for $40 a share with a par of $20. The cost of issuing th

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The company's cost of preferred stock is 5.1%

Explanation:

In order to find the cost of the preferred stock we will need to divide the dividend the company pays on it by the net amount that the company is receiving for selling it.

In order to find the dividend we will multiply 9% by the par value of 20

Dividend = 0.09*20=1.8

Now we need to find the net amount the company receives for selling the preferred stock.

The company sells the stock for $40 but also has a issuing cost of $5, so in order to find the net amount we will subtract the cost from the price.

40-5= 35

35 is the net amount the company receives.

Now we will divide the the dividend 1.8 by the net amount 35

1.8/35=0.051

=5.1%

The company's cost of preferred stock is 5.1%

Consider the following demand schedule: Price Quantity Demanded $25 20 $20 40 $15 60 $10 80 What is the price elasticity of dema

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

3.05

1.38

0.725

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Arc elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

Price $25-$20

change in quantity demanded = 40 - 20 = 20

average of both demands = (40 + 20) /2 = 30

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/30 = 0.67

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $25 - $20 = $5

average of both price = ($25 + $20) / 2 = 22.5

Price $20-$15

change in quantity demanded = 60 - 40 = 20

average of both demands = (60 + 40) /2 = 50

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/50 = 0.4

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $20 - $15 = $5

average of both price = ($15 + $20) / 2 = 17.5

midpoint change in price = 5 / 17.5 = 0.29

0.4/0.29 = 1.38

Price elasticity of demand = 0.67 / 0.22 = 3.05

change in quantity demanded = 80 - 60 = 20

average of both demands = (80 + 60) /2 = 70

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = 20/70 = 0.29

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = $15 - $10 = $5

average of both price = ($15 + $10) / 2 = 12.5

5/12.5 = 0.4

To maintain production, the quality of materials must be high because no buffer inventories are available to take up the slack.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Just in time (JIT) inventory management

Explanation:

Just in time (JIT) inventory management is a system created to lower inventory costs and increase manufacturing efficiency. JIT aligns materials and components orders with production schedules in order to reduce inventory levels to the lowest possible level.

It was developed by Toyota in order to reduce the costs of its car manufacturing processes. Once I visited a Toyota pickup factory and it was amazing to see that the whole inventory of finished engines was 4 units, and the factory produced more than 500 pickups per day.

Suppose that Marie is buying bananas. She decides that she would like to purchase three bananas at the price of $0.25 per banana

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Marginal thinking

Explanation:

The economic foundation of marginal thinking requires decision-makers to evaluate whether the benefit of one more unit of something is greater than its cost. And according to this principle, Marie´s benefits of the first three bananas is higher than its cost, but the fourth banana will provide less benefit than the third and this is less than it cost.
