A = $9.99, the amount needed after 1 year
r = 0.018% = 0.00018, interest rate
n = 12, compoundings per year
t = 1, one year duration
Let P = required balance at the beginning of the year.
Then
P(1 + 0.00018/12)¹² = 9.99
1.00018P = 9.99
P = $9.988 ≈ $9.99
Answer: $9.99

i) Change in input price
ii) Change in production cost
iii) Increase in labor supply or increase in capital stocks
Explanation:
A) Effects of higher income taxes on aggregate demand curve
i) Higher income taxes will cause a decrease in disposable income and this will affect personal expenditure which will cause the aggregate demand curve to shift leftwards ( decrease in price level and real GDP )
B) The factors that will cause the short-run aggregate supply curve to shift
a) Change in input price
b) Change in production cost

Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 12 %
Levered cost of equity:
= 12% + ( 12% - 6%) × 0.5
= 15%
Therefore, Rearden's levered cost of equity would be closest to 15%.
