Which of the following is NOT a component of the marketing mix?

Describe the slope of the demand curve? How does the slope reflect the law of demand?

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1. The slope is negative

2. The demand decreases when the prices increase.

Explanation:

Describe the slope of the demand curve?

The slope of the demand curve is negative.

The demand curve is graphed on a coordinate plane with the price in the horizontal axis (typically the x-axis) and the demand on the vertical axis (y-axis).

Thus, the slope will be the rate of change of the demand over the change on the price.

Mathematically:

$slope=\dfrac{\text{change in demand}}{\text{change in price}}$

Since, as you move from left to right, on the x-axis, the prices increase, and the demand (on the y-axis) lowers, the change in demand is negative and the change in the prices is positive, resulting in a negative slope.

This is seen graphycally because the demand curve is decreasing (downward-sloping).

How does the slope reflect the law of demand?

The slope reflects perfectly the law of demand because the law of demand states that, since the resources are scarce, when the prices incrases the quantities demanded decrease.

The debt has an interest rate of 8.50% (short term) and 10.50% (long term). The expected rate of return on the company's shares

viva [34]

Answer:

Re = 16.02%

Explanation:

current stock price 36 x 7,660,000 = 275,760,000

cost of equity = 17.5%

current short term debt = 141,600,000

cost of short term debt = 8.5%

current long term debt = 210,600,000

cost of long term debt = 10.5%

total financing = 627,960,000

equity = 275,760,000 / 627,960,000 = 0.4391
short term debt = 141,600,000 / 627,960,000 = 0.2255
long term debt = 210,600,000 / 627,960,000 = 0.3354

WACC = (0.4391 x 0.175) + (0.2255 x 0.085 x 0.75) + (0.3354 x 0.105 x 0.75) = 0.0768 + 0.0144 + 0.0264 = 0.1176 or 11.76%

under the new structure:

total financing = 627,960,000

equity = 325,760,000 / 627,960,000 = 0.5188
short term debt = 141,600,000 / 627,960,000 = 0.2255
long term debt = 160,600,000 / 627,960,000 = 0.2557

assuming WACC remains unchanged:

0.1176 = (0.5188 x Re) + (0.2255 x 0.085 x 0.75) + (0.2557 x 0.105 x 0.75) = (0.5188 x Re) + 0.0144 + 0.0201 = (0.5188 x Re) + 0.0345

0.5188 x Re = 0.1176 - 0.0345 = 0.0831

Re = 0.0831 / 0.5188 = 0.1602 or 16.02%
