Answer:

<u>Monopoly</u>

P =      $20.00

Q = 10,000

<u>Socically Efficient:</u>

P = $16.80

Q = 14,000

The monopoly generates a deadthweight loss to maximize their gain.

In the socially efficient situation, there is no deadthweight loss threfore this makes the economy as a whole better.

Explanation:

Price = 28 - 0.0008Q

Marginal Cost  = 0.0012Q

Revenue: P x Q = (28 - 0.0008Q) x Q = 28Q - 0.0008Q²

Marginal Revenue:

R' = R(q) / dq = 28 -0.0016Q

We want to produce and sale until marginal revenue matches marginal cost:

28 -0.0016Q = 0.0012Q

28 = 0.0028Q

Q = 28 / 0.0028 = 10,000

P = 28 - 0.0008 (10,000) =

P = 28 - 8 = 20.00

The social efficiency will be that Price equals Marginal Cost.

28 - 0.008Q = 0.0012Q

28 = 0.0020Q

28 / 0.0020 = Q = 14,000

P = 28 - 0.0008(14,000) = 28 - 11.2 = 16,8

Suppose that the coupon rate for a TIPS is 4%. Suppose further that an investor purchases $50,000 of par value initial principal
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

1. $1,016.25

2. $1,035.30

Explanation:

Dollar coupon interest = Par value * (1+inflation/2)*coupon rate/2

1. Dollar coupon interest = 50000* (1+3.25%/2)*4%/2

Dollar coupon interest = 50,000*(1+3.25%/2)*4%/2

Dollar coupon interest = 50,000*1.01625*0.02

Dollar coupon interest = $1,016.25

2. Dollar coupon interest = 50,000*(1+3.25%/2)*(1+3.75%/2)*4%/2

Dollar coupon interest = 50,000*1.01625*1.01875*0.02

Dollar coupon interest = 1035.3046875

Dollar coupon interest = $1,035.30

Bassett Fruit Farm expects its EBIT to be $377,000 a year forever. Currently, the firm has no debt. The cost of equity is 13.3 p
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$1,729,098

Explanation:

Given that,

EBIT = $377,000

No debt.

Cost of equity = 13.3 percent

Tax rate = 39 percent

Value of issuing bonds at par = $2.7 million

Coupon rate = 6.5%

Therefore,

Unlevered value of the firm:

= [EBIT × (1 - Tax rate)] ÷ Cost of equity

= [$377,000 × (1 - 0.39)] ÷ 0.133

= $229,970 ÷ 0.133

= $1,729,098

. Explain factors which may cause the demand curve to shift outward​
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Answer is below

Explanation:

Factors that may cause the demand curve to shift outward​ are:

1. changes in tastes and preference: when there is a change in taste for example commodity A, whereby people tend to enjoy its taste, the will be an outward shift in the demand curve of commodity A

2. income of the consumers: when the income of consumers increases, they tend to buy more of a certain commodity they enjoy, hence there will be an outward shift in that commodity's demand curve

3. prices of substitute or complement goods: for example, an increase in the price of a substitute will cause consumers to demand more for a particular commodity, hence, outward in demand shift curve occurs

4. expectations about future conditions and prices: when there is speculation about an increase in the price of an essential commodity or goods consumers enjoy, people tend to buy more in a given moment, hence there exists an outward shift in the demand curve

5. Population of consumers in the market: increase in the population of consumers of a certain commodity is directly proportional to an increase in demand of that commodity, hence there exists an outwards shift in the demand curve.
