Answer:
C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior
Explanation:
An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.
In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.
Hope that helps.
Answer:
-$28.8.
Explanation:
Note, we were told,
- to assume the cost of a therm is $0.30
- the family uses 600 therms of energy annually.
<u>Savings on old furnace:</u>
- 600 * $0.30 * 0.80 (or written as 80%) = $144
<u>Savings on new furnace:</u>
- 600 * $0.30 * 0.96 (or written as 96%) = $172.8
Difference: $144 - $172.8 = -$28.8.
Answer:
wP = 114.5 / 514.6 = 0.2225 or 22.25%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a firm can be made up of one or more of the following components namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC is normally calculated using the market value of these components. The formula for WACC is,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- wD, wP and wE represents the weight of debt, preferred stock and common equity in the capital structure based on the market value
- rD, rP and rE are the cost of debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively.
To calculate the weight that should be assigned to the preferred stock in the calculation of WACC, we need to determine the market value of preferred stock and the market value of the capital structure.
Market Value - Debt = 10000 * 1000 * 1.01 = $10.1 million
Market Value - Preferred stock = 1 * 114.50 = $114.5 million
Market Value - Common equity = 26 * 15 = $390 million
Total MV of capital structure = 10.1 + 114.5 + 390 = $514.6
wP = 114.5 / 514.6 = 0.2225 or 22.25%

Explanation:
Plato's Answer: I interviewed my aunt, who works at Triple J Productions. She has been working there for 20 years. When she started out, the company offered voluntary monthly trainings for employees looking to advance. The company had a family picnic every summer for employees and their families. The company was very honest, cared about its employees, customers, etc. Three years ago, the CEO passed away. His son took over the company. Now, they do not have any company picnics. Training has stopped and the company often outsources jobs to employees who will work for low salaries. She is now quite unhappy at the company, but feels that she has invested too much time in it to go somewhere else. Ten years ago, she would have said it is a great place to work. Today, she feels that the company's common practices are sneaky and underhanded and their main motivation is money.
