Answer:

a. The supplier has more bargaining power than the firm.

Explanation:

This is an example of one of Porters' five forces. The supplier has a monopoly and thus entertains a high market share. This means that the supplier has more bargaining power than the firm as if the firm wants the ceramic there are no alternative options available for the firm; however, if the firm does not want supplies, the supplier can find plenty of firms that may need the ceramic thus making supplier more powerful than the firm.

Hope that helps.

Gremlin Industries will pay a dividend of $ 1.55 per share this year. It is expected that this dividend will grow by 7​% per yea
sasho [114]

Answer: 14%

Explanation:

We can calculate this using the Gordon Growth Model which looks like this,

P = D1 / r - g

P is the current stock price

D1 is the next dividend

r is the rate of return or the cost of capital

g is the growth rate.

We have all those figures except the cost of capital so making r the subject of the formula we can solve for it. Doing that will make the formula,

r = D/ P + g

r = 1.55 / 22.10 + 0.07

r = 0.1401

r = 14%

14% is the equity cost of capital.

If you need any clarification do react or comment.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

  • Paul Donut Franchisee : Perfectly Elastic Supply
  • P & G Facial Tissues : Elastic Supply
  • Papermate Pens : Inelastic Supply
  • Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : Perfectly Inelastic Supply

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of Supply is sellers' quantity supplied response to price change. P(Es) = % change in supply / % change in price.

Supply can be classified by Price Elasticity of Supply, as undermentioned :

  1. Elastic Supply : P(Es) > 1 ; % change in supply > % change in price
  2. Inelastic Supply :  P(Es) < 1 ; % change in supply < % change in price
  3. Unitary Elastic : P (Es) = 1 ; % change in supply = % change in price
  4. Perfectly Elastic Supply : P(Es) = ∞ ; Supply responds infinitely to any slight price change & so prices are constant.
  5. Perfectly Elastic Supply : P (Es) = 0 ; Supply responds negligibly to massive price change & so quantity supplied is constant
  • Paul Donut Franchise : Unlimited Supply at constant price, so supply perfectly elastic
  • P & G facial tissues : % change in supply i.e 66% > % change in price i.e 10% , so supply is elastic
  • Papermate pens : % change in supply i.e 10 % < % change in price i.e 15% , so supply is inelastic
  • Bright Ideas Lightbulbs : % change in supply 15% negligible in relation to 400% price change , so supply is perfectly inelastic
