Answer:

The correct answer is: declines; higher economic; will incur losses.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive firm has 1,000 firms that are operating in the long-run equilibrium.  

Out of these firms, 100 firms have adopted a new technology that has caused their average cost of production to decline.  

These firms will be able to produce more output at the same cost. As a result, their supply will increase, this will cause the price to decline.  

The firms with new technology that are facing a lower average cost of production will earn positive economic profits as they have lower costs.  

The firms with old technology that have higher production costs will incur economic losses as they have higher costs.

JG Asset Services is recommending that you invest $1,500 in a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD) that pays 3.5% interest, compou
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So after 5 year total amount will be $1781.529

So option (a) is correct option

Explanation:

We have given that JG Asset is recommending that you invest $1500 for 5 years at rate of 3.5%

So principle amount P = $1500

Rate of interest r = 3.5 %

Time n = 5 years

We know that when total amount is given by

A=P(1+\frac{5.5}{100})^n, here r is rate of interest and n is time period

So amount after 5 years will be

A=1500(1+\frac{3.5}{100})^5=$1781.52

So after 5 year total amount will be $1781.529

So option (a) is correct option

Suppose two cities are considering tearing down their stadiums to build new ones. In one city, the old stadium cost $5 million t
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

These are the options for the question:

A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.

B. They should be more willing to tear down the $50 million stadium, because it cost more to build.

C. The cost to build the old stadium shouldn’t be considered.

And this is the correct answer:

A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.

Explanation:

City A will likely be more willing to tear down its old stadium because it costed $5 million to build. City B, on the other hand, will have to think twice because a stadium that costed $50 billion to build could have more value than it seems, or the City could simply not have enough money to build a better new stadium (something that would probably cost more than $50 billion to do).

The market value of​ Fords' equity, preferred​ stock, and debt are $ 7 ​billion, $ 2 ​billion, and $ 13 ​billion, respectively.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

WACC is 9%

Explanation:

WACC is the average cost of capital of the firm based on the weightage of the debt and weightage of the equity multiplied to their respective costs.

According to WACC formula

WACC = ( Cost of equity x Weightage of equity ) + ( Cost of debt ( 1- t) x Weightage of debt ) + ( Cost of Preferred equity x Weightage of Preferred equity )

As per given data

Market Values

Equity = $7 ​billion,

Preferred​ stock = $2 ​billion

Debt = $13 ​billion

Cost

Equity

Capital asset pricing model measure the expected return on an asset or investment. it is considered as the cost of common stock.

Formula for CAPM

Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + beta ( market return - risk free rate )

Cost of Equity = Rf + β ( Mrp )

Cost of Equity = 3% + 1.6 ( 8% ) = 15.8%

Preferred​ stock = $2 / $26 = 0.077 = 7.7%

Debt = 8%

Placing values in the formula

WACC = ( 15.8% x $7 billion / $22 billion ) + ( 8% ( 1- 0.3) x $13 billion / $22 billion ) + ( 7.7% x $2 billion / $22 billion )

WACC = 5.03% + 3.31% + 0.7% = 9.04%

The current rates for an 80/20 mortgages are 4.15% for the first mortgages and 9.75% for the second mortgage. On a $200,000 30 y
olganol [36]

Answer: The actual rate of the mortgage is 5.27%.

Since we're taking two mortgages for a total of $200,000 for 30 years, we can find the actual rate of the mortgage by finding the weighted average of the two rates. The weights in this case will be the proportion of loan taken at each rate

We have

Rates       Weights      Rates * Weights

4.15            0.80     4.15 * 0.80 = 3.32

9.75             0.20    9.75 * 0.20 = 1.95      

Total                                             5.27%
