Answer:

The firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 34 percent is 12.69%

Explanation:

total assets = common stock value + preferred stock value + debt

                   = 23000*57 + 6000*48 + 350000*102%

                   = 1956000

WACC

= (common stock value/total assets) * common stock rate of return

+ (preferred stock value/total assets) * preferred stock rate of return

+ (debt value/total assets) * yield to maturity of debt * (1-tax rate)

= (1311000/1956000)*14.2%  + (288000/1956000)*7%  + (357000/1956000)*8.49*(1 - 34%)

= 12.69%

Therefore, The firm's weighted average cost of capital if the tax rate is 34 percent is 12.69%

In a market there is a shortage of a good. What change would cause the market to come to an equilibrium?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

D) a rise in price

Explanation:

At the equilibrium point, the quantity demanded and the quantity supplied are the same. There is no excess shortage or supply in both demand and supply.

A shortage occurs when suppliers are not able to meet the market demand. Here, demand is the quantity that buyers are willing to buys at a specific price over time.  As per the law of demand, high product price causes demand to decrease while low price results in increased demand.

A shortage of a product means its demand is high. Many buyers are willing to buy the commodity at the current price.  As per the law of demand, a price increase will result in reduced demand and achieve equilibrium.
