Answer:

C. the firm should produce if its price exceeds average variable cost.

Explanation:

WHen average total cost is less that price, this means you are making a profit, and since they are in the equilibrium sate with Margina revenue being equal to marginal cost, they are in the sweet spot of production, so the only thing left for them is producing if its price exceeds average variable cost, and that would maximize their profits.

Explanation:

Price is sum of:

1. Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years;

2. Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year based on growth at 5%.

Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years:

PV1 = 3*(1+0.30)*0.8929 = 3.90*0.8929 = $3.482

*0.8929 = 1/1.12

PV2 = 3.90*1.30*0.7972 = 5.07*0.7972 = $4.042

PV3 = 5.07*1.30*0.7118 = 6.591*0.7118 = $4.691

PV4 = 6.591*1.30*0.6355 = 8.5683*0.6355 = $5.445

Total = $17.661

Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year:

Market price of the share at the end = 5th year dividend/(Required rate of return - growth rate)

5th year dividend = $8.5683*(1+growth rate) = $8.5683*(1+0.05) = $9

Market price of the share at the end = $9/(0.12-0.05) = $128.57

Present value of $128.57 is 128.57*0.6355(present value interest factor for year 4) = $81.7

So the price of share is $17.661+$81.7 = $99.37

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

$427,011.92

Explanation:

We use the present value formula i.e to be shown in the attached spreadsheet

Given that,

Future value = $0

Rate of interest = 7.5%

NPER = 15 years

PMT = $45,000

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

And, in type we write the 1 instead of 0

So, after solving this, the present value is $427,011.92

In the following case, either a recessionary or inflationary gap exists. Assume that the aggregate supply curve is horizontal, s

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

This is a recessionary gap of $60 billion.

Simple multiplier = 1/ (1-.75) = 1/.25 = 4

The government would then have to increase its spending on goods and merchandise by total gap divided my simple multiplier.

$60 billion/ 4 = $15 billionTransfer multiplier - Each dollar of a Transfer payment will increase real GDP by Transfer Payment Multiplier

= MPC / (1-MPC) = 0.75 / (1-0.75) = 0.75/0.25 = $3

The government must increase spending on transfer payments by total gap divided by transfer payment multiplier = $60 billion / $3 = $20 billion
