Answer:

D) South American cocoa bean producers refuse to ship to chocolate producers in the US.

Explanation:

A nonbinding rice ceiling means that the equilibrium price is below the price ceiling, so it will have no effect in real life. In order for the price ceiling to become binding and start to negatively affect the market, the equilibrium price must increase.  

The only option that would increase the equilibrium price is option D, since the shortage of a key input will probably result in an increase in the price of the key input. If the price of a key input increases, the cost of producing chocolate will increase, resulting in a leftward shift of the supply curve.

A leftward shift of the supply curve will decrease the total quantity supplied and it will increase the price of chocolate at every level of quantity demanded. This will result in an increase in the equilibrium price which might ultimately change the price ceiling from nonbinding to binding.

Ziegler Inc. has decided to use the high-low method to estimate the total cost and the fixed and variable cost components of the
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit = $42 per unit

Total fixed cost = $107,730

Total cost for 1,300 units = $162,330

Explanation:

Mathematically;

Variable cost per unit=[Total cost at highest level-Total cost at lowest level]/(Highest level-Lowest level)

From the question;

Total cost at highest level = 223,440

Total cost at lowest level = 143,640

Highest level = 2755

lowest level = 855

Substituting these values, we have;

Variable cost per unit = (223,440-143,640)/(2755-855) = 79,800/1900 = $42 per unit

Fixed costs = Total cost at highest level- ( variable cost per unit * units produced at highest level) = 223,440-(42 * 2755) = 107,730

Total cost for 1,300 units

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit(number of units)

= $107,730 + 42(1,300) = $162,330

A company wishes to raise $27 million by issuing 15-year semi-annual coupon bonds with face value of $1,000 and coupon rate of 6
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

We first need to find out the present value of each $1,000 bond and then we can figure out how many of these bonds we require to raise $27 million

The n of payments is 15*2 because semi annual payments for 15 years so our N will be 30

The YTM is 7.70/2 because of semi annual payments = 3.85

The Face value is of 1,000 so FV= 1,000

The payments our 1000*0.066=66 divided by 2 because semi annual payments so PMT= 33

We will put these values in a financial calculator to compute the PV of a $1000 bond.

PV= 903

So now we know that the company can get $903 for each $1,000 bond as the bonds present value is 903.

Now in order to find out how many bonds need to be issued to raise 27 million we will divide 27 million by 903, as 903 is the amount we can raise by issuing a single bond.

27,000,000/903=29,900.3 so 29,901

The company will have to issue 29,901 bonds of face value $1,000 to raise $27 million

Consider a competitive market with a large number of identical firms. The firms in this market do not use any resources that are
lakkis [162]

Answer:

a. increase price in the short run but not in the long run.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is one in which firms in an economy produce similar goods, and use resources that are limited in quantity.

An increase in demand will result in a corresponding increase in price, and results in firms making high profits. In the diagram below it results in a shift of demand from D1 to D2.

In the long run as firms have low barrier to entry more firms enter the market and supply shifts from S1 to S2. There is reduction in prices and profits start to fall. This is illustrated in the second diagram.

Let’s assume a required reserve ratio of 10 percent.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The answer is 72.9 dollars.

Explanation:

The reserve ratio of 10% means that bank must keep 10% percent of amount deposited in bank to meet emergency payments and can lend the remaining 90% to other banks. So the second bank can lend 81 dollars that is 90% of 81 dollars. As per this rule second bank has 72.9 dollars (90% of 81) to lend.
