Answer:allocative efficiency; marginal costs
Explanation:allocative efficiency is at an output level where the Price equals the Marginal Cost (MC) of production. This is because the price that consumers are willing to pay is equivalent to the marginal utility that they get. Therefore the optimal distribution is achieved when the marginal utility of the good equals the marginal cost.
The marginal cost is the cost of producing one additional item and is used to pinpoint the optimal economy of scale. The marginal benefit is the greater enjoyment created by producing one additional item.
Answer: $15,060
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares.
We are further told that Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998 and that the corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998. The loss that will be allocated to Joe will be:
= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12
= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75
= $15,000
The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B
Answer:
There's an error in the numbers for this question; I found the correct one and pasted it below;
"Great Lakes Steel Supply is losing significant market share and thus its managers have decided to decrease the firm's annual dividend. The last annual dividend was $1.30 per share but all future dividends will be decreased by 2.75 percent annually. What is a share of this stock worth today at a required return of 15.5 percent? "
Explanation:
Use dividend discount model (DDM) to calculate the stock price
whereby,
P0 = Current price
D0 = Last dividend paid = 130
g = growth rate = -275% or -2.75 as a decimal
r = required return = 155% or 1.55 as a decimal
Next, plug in the numbers to the DDM formula above;
Therefore this stock is worth $6.93
Answer:
The current price of the stock is $68.42
Explanation:
The dividends on a stock that pays a constant dividend and will cease paying dividend after a defined period can be treated as an annuity. The dividends are constant and are paid after equal interval of time and for a defined period of time. To calculate the price of the share today, we will use the formula for the present value of ordinary annuity. The formula is,
Present value = 9.8 * [ 1 - (1+0.11)^-14 / 0.11 ]
Present value or current price of the stock = $68.42
