Solution :
a). Bundles 
= U ( _____ , 2), lie on the same indifference curve. Suppose missing numbers is x.
So, 
(40 x 5) + (2 x 5) = 50x + (2 x 2)
210 - 4 = 5x
So Alexander has 
apples and 
bananas. The indifference curve though also include bundle.
Therefore, (41.2, 2)
b). 
= 0.4
So Alexander has apples and bananas with this bundle. Alexander would like to give up 
unit apples for a banana.
Answer: $50000
Explanation:
Based on the information that's been given in the question, firstly we need to calculate the excess reserves which will be:
= $4500 - (10% × $40000)
= $4500 - $4000
= $500
Then, the money supply that's expanded will be:
= Excess reserve / Reserve ratio
= $5000 / 10%
= $5000 / 0.1
= $50000
Therefore, the answer is $50,000.
Answer:
Cost of preferred stock=7.41
%
Explanation:
<em>A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future.
</em>
<em>A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows: </em>
Cost of preferred stock = D/P(1-f) × 100
D- Preference dividend
P- stock price
F- flotation cost
Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value
DATA
Nominal value = $65
Stock price = $58.63
Dividend rate=6.25%
Flotation cost = 6.5%
Preference dividend = 6.25%× 65 = 4.063
Cost of preferred stock =(4.063
/58.63×(1-0.065) × 100 = 7.41 %
Cost of preferred stock=7.41
%
Answer: $6,000
Explanation:
Maria is a citizen and resident of Mexico so the only way the U.S. can tax Maria is by taxing income that is in U.S. jurisdiction before it comes to Maria.
This will include the dividend from ownership of stock in a U.S. Corporation, the interest from a U.S. company issued bond and rental income from a property located in the U.S.
The U.S. will be unable to tax the capital gain from sale of stock however because the sale might not be conducted in the U.S.
Income subject to U.S. taxation is therefore:
= 1,000 + 2,000 + 3,000
= $6,000
The amount of sin tax that will be paid by all of the mentioned parties will depend per country. In fact, in the US, sin tax may even differ per state so the price of consumers and producers will already factor in the percentage of sin tax that they will pay. As to why it will most likely not reduce the consumption, this is because these vices are generally addictive and already serve as habits for some people. Because of this, people will most likely not decrease their consumption significantly since they continuously look for it. In fact, they will be willing to pay more to get it.
