Answer:

Return on Equity = 13.17%

Explanation:

We solve for cost of equity using the MM model with taxes.

r_e = r_a + \frac{D}{E} (r_a-r_d)(1-t)

r_a = retrun on asset or unlevered return =0.12

D/E = 0.60

r_d = cost of debt = 0.09

taxes = 35% = 0.35

re = return on equity = 0.1317 = 13.17%

A monopolistically competitive firm is producing at an output level in the short run where average total cost is $4.75, price is
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: With a loss

Explanation:

The firm here has its Marginal cost higher than it's marginal revenue.

This means that for every additional unit sold, the company is incurring a loss of $0.50 which is the difference between the marginal cost and the marginal revenue.

The company is therefore operating at a loss because every additional unit is costing them instead of benefitting them. To counter this, they need to reduce production so that marginal cost will fall.
