Answer: 12.6%

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that a consultant firm has been hired by Eco Brothers Inc. to help them estimate the cost of common equity and that the yield on the firm's bonds is 8.75%, while the firm's economists believe that the cost of common can be estimated using a risk premium of 3.85% over a firm's own cost of debt.

The estimate of the firm's cost of common from reinvested earnings will be the addition of the risk free rate and the risk premium. This will be:

= 8.75% + 3.85%

= 12.6%

The country of Leverett is a small open economy. Use the information provided below to answer the following questions about nati
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

When Leverett's exports became less popular, its savings, Y-C-G does not change. Reason being that, it is assumed that Y depends on the amount of capital and labour, consumption depends only on disposable income and government spending is a fixed extrinsic variable.

Since investment depends on interest rate, and Leverett is a small open economy that takes the interest rate as given, thus investment also does not change . Neither does net export change (This is shown by the S-I curve in the attachment).

The decreased popularity of Leverett's exports leads to an inward shift of the net export curve inward. At the new equilibrium,net exports remains unchanged, though the currency has depreciated.

Leverett's trade balance remained the same, despite the fact that its exports are less popular, this is due to the fact that  the depreciated currency provides a stimulus to net exports which overcomes the unpopularity of its exports by making them cheaper.

b. Leverett's currency now buys less foreign currency, thus traveling abroad  becomes more expensive. This is an instance showing that imports (including foreign travel) have become more expensive- as required to keep net exports unchanged in the case of decreased demand for exports.
