The law of demand states that quantity purchased varies inversely with price. In other words, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded. This phenomenon occurs because when consumers' opportunity cost increases, they must give something else up or switch to a substitute product.The law of demand is one of the most fundamental concepts in economics. It works with the law of supply to explain how market economies allocate resources and determine the prices of goods and services.

The Law of Demand in Practice

The "curve" above is simplified as a straight line, but in fact the shape of the curve varies by product. Demand curves are generally concave, reflecting the fact that consumers can become saturated with a given product: How many pairs of underwear can you wear between laundry days? How many cars can you park in your garage (or afford to insure and maintain)? 

It's important to distinguish between temporary and longer-term price changes—particularly in online shopping, with its fine-grained price changes. Consumers might buy more of an item on temporary discount to 1) stock up on nonperishables they will need before the items go on sale again (shirts, for example), 2) make a long-planned purchase at a lower price (a big screen television), 3) get the current model of a product before a new model is released (cars or smartphones), or 4) on impulse.

For longer-term prices, consumers will prefer more quantity at lower prices. The question is whether falling costs enable those lower prices that consumers prefer. This leads to the interaction of the law of demand with the law of supply and the supply curve. In the U.S., as of 2018, the average price of goods excluding food and fuel, had not reached 1995 levels due to technological innovation and global trade's downward pressure on costs.

Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate <em>0.052787474</em>

5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity   100.00

time   60.00

rate  <em>0.052787474</em>

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV  

PV   4.57

<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity  $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%

solong [7]

Answer:

The correct solution is "$42.94".

Explanation:

The given values are:

D0 = 4

Ks = 15%

As we know,

⇒ g = (1-Div \ payout \ ratio)\times ROE

      =(1-60 \ percent)\times 13 \ percent

      =5.20 \ percent

By using the Gordon Model, we get

⇒ P0=Do\times \frac{(1+g)}{(Ks-g)}

         =4\times \frac{ (1+5.20 \ percent)}{(15 \ percent-5.20 \ percent)}

         =42.94 ($)
