How does a market surplus affect prices and consumer demand for a product?

Business
1 answer:
s2008m [1.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer

<u>Market surplus will lower the prices for goods and increase the consumer quantity demand for the products.</u>

Explanation

A market surplus is when there is excess supply. The quantity supply in this case is greater than the quantity demanded. Producers will be faced with a hard time to sell all their goods. This will make them lower their prices to make their products more appealing to consumers. Firms will also have to lower market prices in order to stay competitive. In response to the reduced prices, consumers will increase the quantity demanded thus moving the market to an equilibrium price and quantity. This is a case where excess supply has exerted a downward pressure on the prices of the products.

Sharon purchases two products, X and Y, with a given fixed budget. The marginal utility she receives from the last unit of X she
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Sharon in consuming two goods X and Y.  

The price of X is $2 and that of Y is $1.  

The marginal utility derived from consuming X is 60 utils and from consuming Y is 30 utils.  

For profit-maximization the ratio of marginal utility and price should be equal for both goods or the marginal utility of money spent on both goods should be equal.  

The ratio for good X

= \frac{MUx}{Px}

= \frac{60}{2}

= 30  

The ratio for good Y

= \frac{MUy}{Py}

= \frac{30}{1}

= 30  

Since the ratio is same for both the goods it implies that Sharon is maximizing her total utility.

Suppose Stark Ltd. just issued a dividend of $1.59 per share on its common stock. The company paid dividends of $1.25, $1.33, $1
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The dividend growth rate is given as D2/D1 - 1

Year            Dividend                        Growth rate

1                    $1.25                            

2                   $1.33                       ($1.33/ $1.25 - 1) 6.4%

3                   $1.4                          ($1.4/$1.33 - 1) 5.26%

4                   $1.51                         ($1.51/$1.4 -1)  7.86%  

       

The arithmetic average growth rate is the average of all the growth rates.

Arithmetic average growth rate = (6.4% + 5.26% + 7.86%) / 3 = 6.51%

The cost of annuity = (cost of common stock / Selling stock price) * 100% + Average growth rate

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.51% = 10.49%

b) The geometric growth rate is given as:

geometric average growth rate =

(\frac{D_n}{D_o} )^{\frac{1}{n} }-1\\D_n=1.51,D_o=1.25,n=3\\\\Geometric\ growth\ rate=\frac{1.51}{1.25}^{1/3}-1=6.5\%

The cost of annuity = ($1.59 / $40) * 100% + 6.5% = 10.48%
