Answer:

The correct answer is C. the economic way of thinking.

Explanation:

It is from the recognition of the general principles on which economic behavior rests, that people can develop a basic way of understanding the economic environment.

  • Resources are scarce but desires and needs are unlimited, so people must choose. The logical consequence of this condition is that YOU CANNOT HAVE EVERYTHING and that is why people must choose.
  • Decisions, therefore, have opportunity costs. This means that each decision implies the rejection of other things, which represents part of the cost of having made a decision in a certain sense.
  • People respond to incentives. It is reasonable to think that when people perceive more benefits than costs, we are inclined to make certain decisions. It is said, therefore, that if incentives are inclined to win with certain actions, then it should not surprise us that people respond to them.
  • Institutions (formal and informal) establish the "rules of the game" that encourage our decisions. Norms, laws, companies, government, unions, customs or beliefs, impose incentives and limits for economic performance.
  • Free and voluntary exchange raises the welfare of society. The economy represents the space where we all (families, businesses and government) exchange some things for others. But it is from the freedom to offer what people want, without imposing the will of one on the other, that the well-being of everyone can improve.

​Valley, Inc. has​ 9,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. The preferred stock has a​ $90 par​ value, a​ 14% dividend​ rate
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The dividends payout to preferred stockholders is $113,400 as shown below.

Explanation:

The total dividends payable to holders of preferred shares can be computed thus:

Preferred shares dividends=9000*$90*14%

Preferred shares dividends =$113,400

Preferred shareholders have prior claims to dividends ahead of ordinary shareholders,but after bondholders' interest payments have been settled.

The same way they also have precedence in the distribution of company's assets before ordinary shareholders upon the liquidation of the company.

The downside is that they cannot share in excess profits after payment of dividends as they are part-owners of the company unlike ordinary shareholders.

Paul [167]

Answer:

the answer for the first question is $166667.

the answer for the second question is $210526

the answer for the third question is An inverse.

Explanation:

given information that i will invest in a $10000 scholarship that will pay forever.

the interest rate charged is 6.00% per annum therefore this is a perpetuity present value problem where there is streams of income forever therefore we use the formula :

Pv of perpetuity= Cf/r

where Cr is the cash flows payed by the single investment forever in this case $10000 then r is the interest rate of the investment amount which is 6% in this case.

Pv of Perpetuity= $10000/6%

                           =$166667 therefore i must invest this amount to get the scholarship running with streams of $10000 forever.

in the second problem if now the interest rate is changed from 6% to 4.75% then the amount to be invested would be :

Pv of perpetuity = $10000/4.75%

                              =$210526 therefore this is the amount to be invested for a forever $10000 stream of incomes for a scholarship.

the relationship is indirect cause as the interest rate decreases the present value of the perpetuity that must be invested increases.
