Answer:

Equilibrium price and quantity will fall

Explanation:

An announcement that chocolate causes cancer is a negative news for Godiva chocolate. As such, demand for the item will fall as consumers reduce their consumption of the item. This will push down equilibrium quantity.

Given the fall in quantity demanded, equilibrium price will consequently fall as producers will reduce price in an attempt to stabilize demand for the item.

Unions contribute to Select one: a. frictional unemployment but not the natural rate of unemployment. b. the natural rate of une
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": both frictional unemployment and the natural rate of unemployment.

Explanation:

Natural unemployment is defined as the lowest rate of unemployment an economy will reach. It is called natural because its causes are other than an adverse economy. Natural unemployment is a combination of <em>frictional unemployment</em> -employment transitions, <em>structural unemployment</em> -mismatch between abilities and current position, and <em>labor surplus</em>.

Unions are groups of individuals who join to set minimum standards at work in regards to wages, compensations, and conditions. <em>Union members are, by default, always available to join the workforce even if there is work to be done or not. Sometimes, union members are assigned duties their abilities outperform just to avoid having the member unemployed. These are the reasons why unions are said to contribute to natural unemployment.</em>

A company has introduced a process improvement that reduces processing time for each unit, so that output is increased by 25% wt
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The productivity increase by 48.83%

Explanation:

old

60 units for 5 workers

5 x $12 = 60

material $16 x 60 = 960

overhead: 60 x 1.6 = 96

total revenue 60 x 31 =  1,860

total cosT: 60 + 960 + 96 = 1,116

productivity index_ 1,860 / 1,116 = 1,667

<em><u>now:</u></em>

output 60 + 25% = 75 units

6 workers x $12 = $72

materials $10 x 75 units = $750

overhead: $72 x 1.6 = $115.2

total revneue 75 units x $31 = 2,325

total cost: 75 + 750 + 115.2 = 940.2

productivity index_ 2,325 / 940.2 = 2,4728

percentage of improvement: ( it is calculate like a return on investment)

(2.4728 - 1.667) / 1.667 = 0.4883 = 48.83%

R.S. Green has 250,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a market price of $28 a share. Next year’s annual dividend is expec
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

WACC 6.18%

Explanation:

to get the cost of capital we solve using the gordon model:

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

\frac{divends}{Price} = return-growth

\frac{divends}{Price} + growth = return

$Cost of Equity =\frac{D_1}{P)} +g

D1 1.55

P 28

f 0.00

g 0.02

$Cost of Equity =\frac{1.55}{28} +0.02

Ke 0.075357143

Then for the cost of debt, we need to calculate the YTM of the bonds:

which is the rate at which the present value of the coupon payment and maturity equals the market price:

For the complexity this is done with excel or a financial calculator there is also an approximation formula

YTM with excel: 0.073516565

now that we good this we need to determinate the weigth of equity and debt:

250,00 shares x 28 dollars each = 7,000,000

1,500 bonds of $1,000 each at 98% = 7,350,000

value of the company: 7,000,000 + 7,350,000 = 14,350,000

Ew: 7,000,000 / 14,350,000 = 0.487804878

Dw: 7,350,000 / 14,350,000 =0.512195122

Now we got all values and we can determinate the WACC:

WACC = K_e(\frac{E}{E+D}) + K_d(1-t)(\frac{D}{E+D})

Ke 0.075357143

Equity weight 0.487804878

Kd 0.074

Debt Weight 0.512195122

t 0.34

WACC = 0.075357143(0.48780487804878) + 0.074(1-0.34)(0.51219512195122)

WACC 0.0617752 = 6.18%
