Explanation:
Distributive bargaining can be defined as a type of bargaining system/strategy in which one party gains only if the other party loses.

Cross elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness in the quantity demand of one good when a change in price takes place in another commodity or good. It is calculated by dividing the percentage change in the quantity demanded of one good by the percentage change in price of other good.
Therefore, in this case, cross elasticity of demand will be;
17%/-2% = - 8.5 (-2% because its a decrease)
Thus , the elasticity will be -8.5
Answer:
Expected return on equity is 11.33%
Explanation:
Using Weighted Average Cost Capital without tax formula, overall rate of return is given by the formula:
WACC=(Ke*E/V)+(Kd*D/V)
Kd is the cost of debt at 6%
Ke is the cost of equity at 12%
D/E=1/2 which means debt is 1 and equity is 2
D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+2=1/3
E/V=equity/debt+equity=2/1+2=2/3
WACC=(12%*2/3)+(6%*1/3)
WACC=10%
If the firm reduces debt-equity ratio to 1/3,1 is for debt 3 is for equity
D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+3=1/4
E/V=equity/debt+equity=3/1+3=3/4
WACC=10%
10%=(Ke*3/4)+(6%*1/4)
10%=(Ke*3/4)+1.5%
10%-1.5%=Ke*3/4
8.5%=Ke*3/4
8.5%=3Ke/4
8.5%*4=3 Ke
34%=3 Ke
Ke=34%/3
Ke=11.33%
