Answer: The optimal capital structure maximizes the firm’s stock price.

Explanation:

The Capital Structure of a company refers to the proportion of debt vs equity that it chooses to use to fund its Assets and operations.

The goal of management is to use the capital structure to fund the company in such a way that the market value of a company increases.

The Market value is reflected by the firm's stock price so the optimal capital structure is meant to maximize the firm’s stock price.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Suppose the economy is experiencing an output gap of –3%

a. Monetary policy or fiscal policy can be used to raise actual output toward potential output when:

The government can increase its spending or reduce taxes, which will shift the IS curve to the right and increase GDP.

The Fed can reduce the interest rate, which will shift the MP curve down and increase GDP.

b. The policies identified in part a,

can be used together to raise actual output toward potential output.

Explanation:

Investment-Savings (IS) curve shows all the levels of interest rates and output (GDP) at which an economy's total desired investment (I) equals its total desired saving (S).  This equilibrium can be achieved at a level of interest rate that maximizes output.  The IS curve slopes downward, and to the right because at a lower interest rate, investment is higher, which produces more total output (GDP) for the economy.

Old Time Savings Bank pays 3% interest on its savings accounts. If you deposit $1,800 in the bank and leave it there: (Do not ro
klasskru [66]

Answer:

A. $54

B. 55.62

C. $70.46

Explanation:

The formula for calculating compound interest is

FV = P (1 + r ) ^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

A. $1,800 (1.03) = $1854

Interest rate = $1854 -$1,800 = $54

B. $1,800 (1.03)^2 = $1,909.62

Interest rate = $1,909.62 - $1854 = $55.62

C. $1,800 (1.03)^10 = $2,419.05

To service the interest rate, we have to determine the future value in year 9

$1,800 (1.03)^9 = $2,348.59

Interest rate = $2,419.05 - $2,348.59 = $70.46

I hope my answer helps you

scoundrel [369]

Answer:The real Gdp

Explanation:

Short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping and it shows the relationship between the price level and output. it is upward sloping because the quantity supplied increases when the price rises. Real GDP or otherwise known as changes in aggregate demand and aggregate supply is assumed to remain unchanged because they are not caused by changes in the price level. Economic growth are one of the things that can cause change in real Gdp. Things that cause changes along a given short run supply curve can include the following: wages, increase in physical capital or advancement in technology.
