Answer:
20.1%
Explanation:
In capital asset prcing model (CAPM), cost of equity (or cost of retained earnings in this context) is calculated as below:
<em>Cost of equity = risk-free rate of return + beta x (market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em>
Please note that <em>(market index return - risk-free rate of return)</em> is equal to <em>market risk premium</em>
Putting all the number together, we have:
Cost of equity/retained earnings = 2.5% + 2.2 x 8% = 20.1%
<em>Note: The dividend growth rate, tax rate & stock standard deviation is not relevant in answering the question.</em>
<span>Generally, man wants to engage in feasible business or investment that will bring profits or benefits. Because of this, before engaging in the business or purchasing of a product, he usually weights the costs and the benefits that will be derived. If the benefits are higher than the costs, he will usually be ready to engage in the business or buy the product, but if the reverse is the case, he will see no reason for engaging in such a business.</span><span />

Answer:
the equilibrium price but not above or below the equilibrium price.
Explanation:
At equilibrium price, quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. At this point, buyers are able to buy all they want to buy and sellers are able to sell all they want
Above equilibrium price, there would be a surplus. the quantity supplied would exceed the quantity demanded. Sellers would not be able to sell all they want in this case
Below the equilibrium price, there would be a shortage. the quantity demanded would exceed the quantity supplied. buyers would not be able to buy all they want
Answer:
The answer to both a and b is in the explanation below
Explanation:
a) The increase in wage can either decrease or increase the hours worked. This is became an increase in wage has both substitution effect and income effect that work in different directions. Substitution effect An increase in wage increases the opportunity cost of leisure, thereby making the worker increase number of hours worked. Income effect The increase in wage also makers the worker richer, thereby making the worker decrease number of hours worked.
Since no information about worker's preferences is given, we do not Imow which effect will dominate the other effect and, therefore, we do not know what the net impact of the increase in wage will be.
b) The bonus will only have income effect. The bonus will make the workers richer, thereby making the worker decrease number of hours worked.
If in part a), the substitution effect and income effect are equal in magnitude, then there will be no change in the number of hours worked. The number of hours worked will remain the same at 2000 hours. Since the employer would be paying $5 extra on each hour worked, the cost to the employer of increase in wage would be $10,000 (=2000 x $5), which is the same as the bonus in part b).
