Answer:
the money supply in Macroland will increase from <u>5,000</u> econs to <u>7,000</u> econs
Explanation:
Currently, Macroland's money supply = 2,000 econs held by the public and 3,000 econs held by the banks (= 300 econs x 1/0.1).
In order to determine the increase in the money supply we must multiply the inflow of econs by the money multiplier. The money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1/0.1 = 10.
Since the government is injecting 200 econs to the economy, the increase in the money supply = 200 econs x 10 = 2,000 econs.
So now, Macroland's money supply will increase from 5,000 to 7,000 econs.
The money multiplier measures the banking system's ability to "create" money. The banking system creates money by first receiving deposits, e.g. you deposit 10 econs in your savings account, and then lending money to another client. The bank will lend 9 econs (-10% required reserve) to John that will purchase a bike. The seller of the bike receives the money form John and deposits the 9 econs in his own bank. Then this second bank will lend 8.10 econs to Sarah. Sarah will use the money to purchase a new computer and a printer from Tom. Tom then deposits the money in his bank, and then his bank lends 7.29 econs to Sally, and the wheel goes on and on.
This money creating process is possible because Macroland uses a fractional banking system, which means that the banks are only required to keep a fraction of total deposits as reserves.
Answer:
The WACC is 11.64%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital or WACC is the cost to firm of raising its total capital based on its capital structure. The capital structure of the firm can contain debt, preferred stock and common stock. The WACC take the weight of each component as a proportion of total value of assets and multiply it by the rate of return or cost of each component.
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wE *rE
Where,
- wD and wE represent the weights of debt and equity as a proportion of total assets
- rD and rE are the cost of debt and cost of equity
- We multiply rD by (-tax rate) because we take after tax cost of debt for WACC calculation
Weight of debt = 2000000 / (2000000 + 3000000) = 2/5 or 0.4
Weight of equity is = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
WACC = 0.4 * 0.06 * (1-0.4) + 0.6 * 0.17
WACC = 0.1164 or 11.64%
We would be able to answer that but we don't have enough information to
