Answer:

As the price rises, the quantity demanded decreases and the quantity supplied increases.

Explanation:

When a shortage occurs, demand for a product is high and is not being matched by supply (supply is low).

So to bring demand down and increase supply, we need to increase the price.

According to the law of demand and increase in price results in a decrease in demand.

The law of supply states that when price increases there will be an increase in supply, making more goods available and eliminating shortage.

This is illustrated in the attached diagram.

lana [24]

Answer:

13.7%

Explanation:

The weight to be placed on preferred while computing the company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the market value of the preferred stock divided by the market value of the company as a whole.

market of preferred stock=5,000*$26=$130,000

Market value of the company=market value of common stock+market value of preferred stock+market value of bond

common stock market value=12,000*$39=$468,000

market value of bond=$400,000*87%=$348,000

Weight of preferred stock=$130,000 /($130,000 +$468,000+$348,000)=0.137420719 =13.7%

5. Bell Tower paid within 10 days and enjoyed the 2% cash discount.
