Answer:

If Jeff's wage rate rises, he decides to work more hours. From this, we can infer that for Jeff, the substitution effect is greater than the income effect - option C.

Explanation:

The substitution effect is stronger than the income effect in a case whereby the supply of labor increases as the wage rate increases .

On the other hand, when the supply of labor decreases as the wage rate increases, then the income effect is stronger than the substitution effect.

With regards to the scenario given in the question - with an increase in the wage rate, Jeff has decided to work more hours.

Thus, in the given case, it can be inferred that for Jeff, the substitution effect is greater than the income effect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:

The company's WACC is 9.14%

Explanation:

cost of preferred stock

= (dividend on preferred stock)/(current market price)

= [$100*4%]/$72

= 5.56%

total finance = debt + equity + preferred stock

= (8,000*$1,060) + (310,000*$57) + (15,000*$72)

= $8,480,000 + $17,670,000 + $1,080,000

= $27,230,000

weight of debt = debt/total finance

= $8,480,000/$27,230,000

= 0.31

weight on equity = equity/total finace

= $1.080.000/$27,230,000

= 0.04

WACC

= (weight of debt*after tax cost of debt) + (weight on equity*cost of equity)

= (0.31*0.0393) + (0.65-0.1185) + (0.04*0.0556)

= 9.14%

Therefore, The company's WACC is 9.14%
