Answer: False: Flotation costs need to be taken into account when calculating the cost of issuing new common stock, but they do not need to be taken into account when raising capital from retained earnings.
Explanation:
When issuing common stock, the firm will need to pay certain floatation costs such as underwriting fees, legal fees, and registration fees. These will reduce the net amount received from the floatation of new securities.
When raising capital from the retained earnings however, the company can avoid flotation costs because they would be acquiring funds internally and so do not have to worry about paying other entities to access it.

Explanation:
When a company makes a good product that people like and therefore brings in profit, other companies will copy that product if it is not protected by law so that they too can make profit as well.

Answer:
A
Explanation:
Price elasticity measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded or supplied of a good to a change in its price. It is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded—or supplied—divided by the percentage change in price.
Elasticity can be described as elastic—or very responsive—unit elastic, or inelastic—not very responsive.
Elastic demand or supply curves indicate that the quantity demanded or supplied responds to price changes in a greater than proportional manner.
An inelastic demand or supply curve is one where a given percentage change in price will cause a smaller percentage change in quantity demanded or supplied.
Unitary elasticity means that a given percentage change in price leads to an equal percentage change in quantity demanded or supplied.
