Answer: 6.42%

Explanation:

To calculate this, we use the formula for the Dividend Discount Model/ Gordon Growth Formula as follows:

P = D1/(r - g)

Where,

P = current stock price

D1 = Next dividend

r = required return

g = growth rate

We can make r the subject of the equation by,

P = D1/(r - g)

P(r - g) = D1

r - g = D1/P

r = D1/P + g

Calculating therefore we have,

r = 2.65/43.15 + 0.045

= 0.06417728852

= 6.42%

6.42% is the required return.

Each firm in a competitive market has a cost function​ of: Upper C equals 25 plus q squared​, so its marginal cost function is M
Effectus [21]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

TC = 25 + q^2

Now

Marginal cost is

= dtc ÷ dQ

= 2q

Average variable cost  (AVC) = q

We Assuming perfect competition so there is a free entry so no profits

Therefore

ATC = P

ATC = TC ÷ q  

= q + 25 ÷ q

Now

MC = MR = P = ATC

2q = q + 25 ÷ q

q = 25 ÷ q

q^2 = 25

So, Quantity per firm = q = 5

Now

P = MC = MR = ATC

= q + 25 ÷ q  

= 5 + 25 ÷ 5  

= 5 + 5

= 10

hence, equilibrium price is 10

Now

Q = 35 - P  

= 35 – 10

= 25

Hence, Market quantity (Q)  = 25

And, the number of firms i.e n

N = Q ÷ q  

= 25 ÷ 5

= 5

Explain why the monopsonist's marginal-revenue-product curve is downward sloping. Include the role of the price for the final go
alekssr [168]

Answer:

A monopsony is market where there is only one buyer, e.g. the government is the sole buyer for nuclear submarines in the US.

The demand curve of a monopsony is similar to the demand curve of any other type of market, i.e. it is downward sloping. Since there is only 1 buyer, the demand curve is also the supply curve. If the monopsonist wants to increase the quantity demanded at a lower price, the supplier (or suppliers) must be able to lower its costs and that generally results in lower labor costs.
