Answer:
A. The business cycle
Explanation:
A period of macroeconomic expansion followed by a period of macroeconomic contraction is known as a business cycle. Like the name suggests, a business cycle is a cycle of highs and lows in economic activities.
There are periods of expansion which is often characterized by economic growth, leading to creation of more jobs, robust middle class etc and contraction which is characterized by loss of jobs, shrinking middle class etc in a business cycle.
Other periods of a business cycle may include peak, trough etc.
The answer is : The demand is elastic.
Elasticity =
[(80,000 - 180,000)/((80,000+180,000)/2)]/[($40 - $30)/(($40 + $30)/2)]|
[(-100,000/130,000)]/[(10/55)] = -.7692/.1818= -4.23
The answer is -4.23, however when considering own price elasticity of demand, we ignore the negative sign and look at the absolute value to determine whether it is elastic or inelastic.
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Given that,
Interest at last year debt = 8%
Current year cost of debt = 25% higher
Firms paid for debt last year = 10%
Firms paid for debt in current year = 12.50%
Kd - cost of debt
Yield = Interest at last year debt × (1 + increase in cost of debt)
= 8% × (1 + 0.25)
= 8% × 1.25
= 10%
Kd = Yield (1 – T)
Kd = 10% (1 – 0)
= 10% (1)
= 10%
Therefore, after tax cost of debt would be 10%.
