Answer:

c. producers

Explanation:

Since it is given in the question that the price elasticity of demand is relatively elastic but the price elastic of supply is relatively inelastic but if the excise tax is imposed on the goods so the greater burden of the tax would be on the producers as the supply is inelastic so the producers could not changed much but if we compare to the consumers, the consumer could change the demand more than before due to the elastic in demand.

So, the correct option is c.

The consumer price index (CPI) can be used to measure inflation. There are potential problems with this process though that can
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a. Overstates Inflation.

In the case of Mary and Bob, the CPI would have already increased but in this case the price of the minivan increased as well. This will overstate inflation because it will not measure the general rise in price alone (inflation), it will also measure the rise in price as a result of the new minivan having better features.

b. Understated Inflation

Donna's case represents an understated inflation because the quantity shrank yet the price stayed the same. This means that the price is now buying less quantity than it used to which is inflation because more dollars are now required to buy the previous amount. This was not however recorded as there was no change in price.

c. Overstates Inflation

In the case of Zach, the inflation will be overstated because Zach is no longer buying bagels and is now buying muffins so continuing to use bagels as a representative good in the basket of goods used to calculate CPI would be overstating it.

d. Accurate representation of Inflation

In Chris's case, the increase in the price of the same shoe over the years has been because of a general rise in prices and not because it is a different model. It is the same shoe and its price is rising generally so this is an accurate depiction of inflation.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

present value = $9320.06

Explanation:

given data

cash flow 1 year C1 = $500

cash flow 2 year C2 = $1000

pay 3 year C3  = $800

interest rates  r = 10 percent per year = 0.10

solution

we get here present value that is

present value = \frac{C1}{(1+r)} +\frac{C2}{(1+r)^2} +\frac{C3}{(1+r)^3}   ....................1

put here value and we will get

present value =  \frac{500}{(1+0.10)} +\frac{10000}{(1+0.10)^2} +\frac{800}{(1+0.10)^3}

present value = $9320.06

Company X currently has a capital structure that consists of 40% equity, 20% preferred equity, and 40% of debt. The risk-free ra
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

14.58%

Explanation:

WACC = weight of equity x cost of equity + weight of debt x cost of debt x (1 - tax rate) + weight of preferred equity x dividend yield

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

r= 3% + 1.1 x 8 = 11.8

equity = 0.4 x 11.8% = 4.72

d = 0.4 x 5 x (1 -0.21) = 1.58

p = 0.2 x 6 =  1.2

11.8 + 1.58 + 1.2 =
