Answer:

The firm's cost of preferred stock is  9.10%

Explanation:

The cost of preferred stock with the flotation of 5% would be the dividend payable by the preferred stock divided by the adjusted current market price(adjusted for flotation cost)

The dividend per year is $8

The adjusted price of the stock=$92.50*(1-f)

where f is the flotation cost in percentage terms i.e 5%

adjusted price of the stock is =$92.50*(1-5%)=$ 87.88  

Cost of preferred stock=$8/$87.88*100  = 9.10%

If aggregate planned expenditures in the economy increase by $100 million, then real GDP will _____ $100 million.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Real GDP will rise by $100 million

Explanation:

Aggregate Demand [AD] is total amount of goods & services, all sectors of an economy are planning to buy . So AD = Aggregate Planned Expenditure [APE]

Aggregate Supply [AS] is total amount of goods & services, all sellers are planning to sell. As total output value of goods & services produced is distributed among factors of production, AS = National Income [NY] = GDP

At equilibrium : AD or APE =  AS or NY or GDP

If AD or APE increases by $100 million :

AD or APE  > AS or Aggregate Planned Production or GDP . This implies willingess to buy > willingness to produce. So, inventory levels will fall below desired level. To mantain inventory level, production [AS] & income level [GDP] will rise till it becomes equal to risen AD or APE

So, GDP will also rise by $100 million

Cartels are difficult to maintain because a. ​the monopoly output is very difficult to determine. b. ​the number of firms is alw
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

Cartels are generally formed in oligopoly markets. In such markets there are few firms which are interdependent. So, they form cartels to enjoy monopoly power.

Though cartels are generally short lived and difficult to maintain. The reason behind this is that each firm has the incentive to deviate and produce more than their quota in order to capture more market share.

So, option d is the correct answer here.

Which best describes the barrier to trade known as dumping? Destroying shipments of imports to force consumers into purchasing d
Lana71 [14]

Answer: Selling exports abroad at a lower price than the domestic price.

Explanation:

Dumping is a practice in international trade where the country exporting, does so at a price that is lower than the domestic price of the good being exported in the importing country.

This allows the country exporting to gain more market share but can also lead to the collapse of the domestic industry thereby allowing for an export based monopoly to form.

An example would be Japan selling electronics in the U.S. at lower rates to capture market share even though those same electronics commanded a higher price in Japan.
