If price discrimination were banned and the monopolist continued to produce the play no matter what the profit, the price of a ticket would remain the same, and total profit would fall to $0.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Floating cost adjustment is 3.25%

Explanation:

Flotation-adjusted cost of equity = (Expected dividend at the end of Year 1 / Net proceeds per share) + Growth rate.

Expected dividend at the end of Year 1 (D1) = $ 2.30 (given in question)

Net proceeds per share = (21.30 - 4 % of 21.30) = $ 20.448

Flotation-adjusted cost of equity = (2.30 / 20.448) + 0.04

= 0.1125 + 0.04

= 0.1525 i.e., 15.25 %.

Flotation cost adjustment = Flotation-adjusted cost of equity - Cost of equity without flotation adjustment.

= 15.25 % - 12 % (given in question)

= 3.25 %.

Conclusion:- Flotation cost adjustment = 3.25 %
