Answer:

a) 14.77%

b) 12%

Explanation:

first we must determine the price of the company when it has no debt (unlevered) = [$97,000 x (1 - 24%)] / 13% = $567,076.92

the value of the firm after it has taken the debt = $567,076.92 + ($195,000 x 24%) = $613,876.92

debt to equity ratio(D/E) = $195,000 / ($613,876.92 - $195,000) = 0.4655

new cost of equity (Re) = old cost of equity + [(old cost of equity - cost of debt) x D/E ratio x (1 - tax rate)] = 13% + [(13% - 8%) x 0.4655 x 0.76] = 14.77%

WACC = (0.6823 x 14.77%) + (0.3177 x 8% x 0.76) = 10.08% + 1.92 = 12%

From 2001 to 2004, the U.S. government went from a budget surplus to a budget deficit. According to the open-economy macroeconom
notsponge [240]

Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct Option: The supply of loanable funds but not the supply of dollars in the market for foreign-currency exchange.

If the budget deficit increases, then U.S residents will want to purchase fewer foreign assets and foreign residents wants to buy more of U.S assets.

The budget deficit in the economy has to be financed either by borrowing or by increasing taxes. This budget deficit occurred because of the tax cuts and higher government spending.

If a country running a budget deficit, which lead to reduction in national saving. We all know that interest rate is determined in the loan market, where savers supply the loans to the private borrowers.

So, if there is a fall in the national saving, this will reduced the supply of loans from savers, which raises the interest rate in an economy.

This will attract the foreign flow of capital. This means that demand for domestic assets increases because of the higher interest rate.

Now, if foreign residents want to take an advantage of higher interest rate then they first have to acquire domestic currency.

Therefore, higher interest increases the demand for domestic currency in a market of foreign exchange.

Scarcity can be eliminated if
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The scarcity is the key problem that the economics are trying to find an answer to and try to mitigate by making the resources more productive.

The scarcity arises because of 2 main factors,

  1. The human wants are Unlimited
  2. The resources available to satisfy these wants are Limited

In theory, if we need to "eliminate" scarcity complete we should either Limit our Needs or find an Unlimited source of resources we require.

However, these are not practical solutions.

So because of this, economics try to utilize technology and other factors to harness the full potential of resources and to use them optimally.
