Nataly_w [17]3 years ago

Answer:

C) the market will devote too few resources to the production of the good.

Explanation:

The problem with free riding is that a good or service is used by too many people and paid by only a few, because there is an oversupply of the good or service. But it is too difficult or too expensive to separate those who actually pay form those who don't. Therefore private markets tend to undersupply public goods.

For example, police officers must "serve and protect" everyone, not just the people that pay their taxes. The same applies to the use of public beaches or parks, anyone can use them even without paying for their maintenance.

​AllCity, Inc., is financed 39 % with​ debt, 11 % with preferred​ stock, and 50 % with common stock. Its cost of debt is 6.1 %​,
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Cost of debt (Kd) = 6.1%

Cost of preferred stock = <u>Dividend paid</u>

                                        Current market price

                                      = $2.53

                                         $33

                                      = 0.0767 = 7.67%

Risk-free rate (Rf) = 2.2%

Beta (β) = 1.11

Market risk premium (Rm - Rf) = 6.7%

Cost of equity (Ke) = Rf +β(Rm - Rf)

Cost of equity (Ke) = 2.2 + 1.11(6.7)

Cost of equity (Ke) =  9.637%    

WACC = Kd(D/V)(1-T) + Kp(P/V) + Ke(E/v)

WACC = 6.1(39  /100)(1 -0.35) + 7.67(11/100) + 9.637(50/100)  

WACC  = 1.55 + 0.84 + 4.82  

WACC  = 7.21%                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Explanation:

In this case, cost of debt has been given. Cost of preferred stock is calculated as current dividend paid divided by current market price.

Cost of equity is calculated based on capital asset pricing model, which is Risk-free rate plus beta multiplied by the market risk premium.

WACC equals after-tax cost of debt multiplied by the proportion of debt in the capital structure plus cost of preferred stock multiplied by the proportion of preferred stock in the capital structure plus cost of equity multiplied by proportion of equity in the capital structure.

What accounted for the tremendous rise in the profits of the american financial industry, from less than 10 percent of total bus
dolphi86 [110]
<span>Financial deregulation was a big part of why profits soared during these years. With businesses feeling as if they had more freedom to use their profits as they saw fit, they were able to increase technology, innovation, and therefore, their overall profit margins, instead of having to use those profits for tax purposes.</span>

Suppose that last year $30 billion in new loans were extended by banks while $50 billion in old loans were paid off by borrowers
matrenka [14]
So, 30 billions were borrowed and 50 billion were returned, which means that the amount returned was bigger than the amount borrowed. This means that the  there is now less money in the circulation (on people's accounts, money being exchanged between people), which means that the money supply decreased.

Howard Company has 10,000 shares of $200 par value, 6% cumulative preferred stock and 150,000 shares of $50 par value common sto
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Dividend - Preferred stock = $120000

Dividend - Common stock = $680000

Explanation:

The amount of dividend that is paid to each class of stock can be calculated by first calculating the dividend payable to preferred stock. The amount of dividend on preferred stock is fixed and is paid before the common stockholders are paid. Thus, dividend on preferred stock per year is,

Dividend - Preferred stock = 10000 * 200 * 0.06 = $120000

Thus, out of $800000 cash dividends, $120000 will be paid on the cumulative preferred stock.

Remaining dividend = 800000 - 120000 = $680000

The remaining $680000 will be paid to the common stockholders.

Anna is a 21-year-old full-time college student (she plans on returning home at the end of the school year). Her total support f
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Even if Anna's grandparents provided the remaining $14,000 of support for Anna ($34,000 minus $12,000 minus $8,000) they would not be able to claim her as a dependent.

Explanation:

If the grandparents provided $14,000 their contribution to Anna's school fees is not up to half so they cannot claim Anna as an exemption. Anna had $12,000 personal money and $8,000 scholarship, it is crowned that she provided $20,000 by herself.

However since she is under the age of 21 and in college, her parents can claim her.
