Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Increase in government spending may not lead to an expansionary effect on the economy because of the crowding-out effect. This is because increased borrowing to fund spending leads to increase in interest rates. Increased interest rate discourages investors leading to a decline in private investment. This further has an adverse effect on aggregate demand.  

If the debt spending is spent on constructive work such as infrastructure, research, and development, education, etc it will create value in the future. Such spending will pose less problem in the long run. Spending on education will create human capital. Spending on infrastructure and research and development will further help in the production process.

Answer:

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

Option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
  • r represents the cost of each component
  • rD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt

WACC = 0.2 * 0.16   +   0.8 * 0.185

WACC = 0.18 or 18%

A firm has the following accounts and financial data for 2007:
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $302.40.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation can be done as:

To calculate firms' earning first we less cost of goods and total operating expenses from sales revenue:

= $3,060 - $1,800 - 600

= $660

Now we deduct the interest expense, then

= $660 - $126

= $534

Now we deduct tax rate, then

= $534 × $213.60    ( $534× 40%)

= $320.40

Now we finally deduct the dividends to get the firm's earning to common shareholder's, then

= $320.40 - 18

= $302.40

Hence, the firm's earning to common shareholder's is $302.40.

Would the management of a firm in an oligopolistic or in a competitive industry be more likely to engage in what might be called
sp2606 [1]

Answer: Companies in perfect competition do not usually apply "socially conscious" practices because their cost-benefit relationship does not justify it.

Generally, the administration of an oligopolistic company will carry out "socially conscious" practices, because this differentiation between the other companies would lead to higher than normal profits.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

$6,000

Explanation:

A deductible is the amount Conor has to pay before his medical bills and prescriptions start getting coverage from his insurance.

Step 1: 10,000 - 2,000 = 8,000

A co-pay is a fixed amount the insured has to pay for certain medical services.

Step 2: 20% of 8,000 or 0.20 times 8,000 = 1,600

Step 3: add $2,000 (the deductible you have to pay) and $1,600 (the co-pay)

Total amount that Conor will have to pay for the hospital: $3,600
