Answer:
Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $12.50.
Wage Labor Demanded Labor Supplied
$12.50 375,000 625,000
This will result in a surplus of labor (625,000 higher than 375,000)
Which of the following statements are true?
- Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. As with all price floors, a deadweight loss results, because the quantity supplied is much greater than the quantity demanded. In this case, the price of labor is the wage, and the deadweight loss = structural unemployment
-
In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium.
Since a labor surplus exists, the price of labor should start to decrease in order to match the equilibrium price.
-
If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium. The quantity supplied of labor is much greater than the quantity demanded for labor resulting in a surplus.

Explanation:
The weight to be placed on preferred while computing the company's weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is the market value of the preferred stock divided by the market value of the company as a whole.
market of preferred stock=5,000*$26=$130,000
Market value of the company=market value of common stock+market value of preferred stock+market value of bond
common stock market value=12,000*$39=$468,000
market value of bond=$400,000*87%=$348,000
Weight of preferred stock=$130,000
/($130,000
+$468,000+$348,000)=0.137420719
=13.7%
