Answer:
C) producers to supply more and consumers to buy less.
Explanation:
The typical supply curve is upward-sloping (higher price leads to higer quantity supplied) and the typical demand curve is downward sloping (higher price lower quantity demanded).
Price is a measure of how much one good can be exchanged for other things. Production incurred cost (tend to rise as more resources become harder to obtain) so to supply more suppliers will demand higher price. Purchasing higher price good means consumers have less money (less of other goods can be bought) consumer will buy less good at higher price.
Answer:
a. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you choose? What is its value?
I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)
b. Suppose that if you receive the stock bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus now? What will your decision depend on?
Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.
Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.
