Answer:
High demand
Low supply
High prices
Explanation:
The demand and supply of products, goods and services is heavily dependent on several factors ranging from economic, health and social factors. Disease and viral outbreaks have devastating effects on the market forces of demand and supply which in most cases will impact the market negatively with characteristically high prices and scarcity of products. The mouth and hoof outbreak in Europe was one which impacted the economy including farmers, leather and hides workers and all whose businesses and sustainability depends on cattles and its products. Due to the contagious nature of the disease and the ease at which it could spread if curtailment isn't effected on time, millions of cattles were slaughtered on sighting the symptoms and it's products including skins are burnt leading to losses in billions on the path of cattle rearers, shortage of lather, hides and skins, restriction in international product trade in other to avoid its spread to other parts of the world. These resulted in low supply and high demand of cattles and its products including leather goods meaning High prices for little available.
Answer:
WACC = 12.040%
Explanation:
WACC represents weighted average cost of all sources of financing. In the question there are three sources of finance 1) Equity 2) Preferred Stock 3) Debt.
1) Equity: The firm intends to raise $ 320,000 from equity out of total financing of $ 570,000 e.g. 56% of total financing comes from Equity. Thus multiplying the cost of equity 14.7% (given) with ratio of equity financing, we get to weighted average cost of equity of 8.253%.
2) Debt: The firm is raising $ 230,000 from debt e.g. 40% of total financing. The proportion of debt is multiplied by post tax cost of debt as the interest expense is deductible expense for tax purposes in most of the jurisdiction. Therefore we reduce the cost of debt with element of (1 - tax rate), thus we get to 8.325% = 11.1 (1 - 25%) as total cost of debt. In order to get weighted average cost of debt we multiply this post tax cost of debt with ratio of debt financing 40%, thus weighted average cost of debt is 8.325 * 40% = 3.359%
3) Preferred Stock: The firm is also raising finance from preferred stock having cost of 12.2%. Proportion of financing from preferred stock is 4% in total mix of financing, thus weighted average cost of preferred stock is 12.2% * 4% = 0.428%.
Now adding weighted average cost of all three sources of funding, we get WACC: 8.253% + 3.359% + 0.428% = 12.040%
Answer:
<h2>In the context of Consumer Theory or Indifference Curve involving two goods,the opportunity of any one good is computed by how much of the other good is foregone or sacrificed to purchase one more unit of that particular good.</h2>
Explanation:
- In this instance,when Bill's diner consumes 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dog=
.Therefore,initially Bill diner's opportunity cost of an additional hot dog is 1.4 units of burger.
- Now,when Bill's diner chooses to consume a combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot dogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dogs=
approximately.Hence,Bill's diner is willing to sacrifice approximately 0.385 units of burger to consume an additional unit of hot dog. - Now,due to the change in consumption combination,the change in opportunity cost of additional hot dog=
units of burger.Notice,that here the opportunity cost of additional hot dog decreased from 1.4 units of burger to 0.385 units of burger as Bill's diner changed the consumption combination of both burgers and hot dogs.
