Answer: The correct answers are "The general level of stock prices" and "The effect of the tax rate on the cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital equation".
Explanation: The general level of stock prices and the effect of the tax rate on the cost of debt in the weighted average cost of capital equation are outside from firm's control because although companies have knowledge of the market, the general level of stock prices is not controlled by them, but by the market. And the effect of the tax rate is not controlled by companies because the tax rate is set by the state.
Answer:
PV= $22,677.03
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Number of periods (n)= 9 years
Annual payment (A)= $3,800
Discount rate (i)= 12%
<u>First, we will calculate the future value of the payments using the following formula:</u>
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i + {[A*(1+i)^n]-A}
FV= {3,800*[(1.12^9) - 1]} / 0.12 + {[3,800*(1.12^9)] - 3,800}
FV= 56,147.49 + 6,737.7
FV= $62,885.19
<u>Now, the present value:</u>
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 62,885.19 / (1.12^9)
PV= $22,677.03
Answer:
Output and employment will increase exerting modest upward pressure on the price level.
Explanation
In simple words, the increased demands for the good would work as an incentive for the producer to produce more and they can also lower their cost of production by producing in mass which will further lead to economies of scale.
More production means more requirement of workers which will eventually lead to more employment opportunities in the country. However, this increase would lead to modest increase in prices due to more purchaser power in the country.
