Answer:

The price control that could generate excess supply is to increase the price to 75 cents which would give the suppliers an incentive to supply since the potential profits have risen.

Explanation:

Market equilibrium can be defined as the point where market supply and market demand are equal,leading to stabilization of prices. The forces of supply and demand usually control the price at which goods and services will be set. Economists like Adam Smith utilized the concept of the free market to stipulate that the forces of supply and demand in a market will no government interference always push the market to it's equilibrium. Equilibrium generally means that the forces in the market have no incentive of changing their behavior.

Supply can be defined as the act of making something available to someone. In the context of an economy, the suppliers make goods and services available to the consumers. Demand on the other hand is the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing purchase at a certain price. When demand exceeds the supply, the suppliers increase the price and when the supply exceeds the demand, the price drops.

In our case, increasing the price to 75 cents would give the suppliers an incentive to supply since the potential profits have risen. This would lead to excess supply since the price is set above the equilibrium price.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15

Explanation:

For computing the value of unlevered firm, the following formula should be used which is shown below:

Value of levered firm = Earning before interest and taxes × (1 - tax rate) ÷ cost of equity

where,

Earnings before income and taxes are $218,000

Cost of equity is 16.3%

And, the tax rate is 35%

Now put these values on the above formula

So, the value would be equals to

= $218,000 × (1 - 0.35) ÷ 16.3%

= $141,700 ÷ 16.3%

= $869325.15

The other terms like bonds and the annual coupon should not be considered in the computation part because we have to calculate for unlevered firm which only includes equity and the bond is a debt security. Thus, it is irrelevant.

Hence,  the unlevered value of the firm is $869325.15
