Answer:

3.45%

Explanation:

the real wage at the beginning of the recession (12/07) = nominal wage / price index Dec. 2007 = $17.70 / 2.1141 = $8.3721

the real wage at the end of the recession (6/09) = nominal wage / price index June 2009 = $18.53 / 2.14527= $8.6609

% change in real wage = [($8.6609 - $8.3721) / $8.3721] x 100 = 3.44955% = 3.45%

Due to the recession, the price index changed less than the nominal wages since the inflation rate was very low. It is normal that during recessions, specially severe ones, the inflation rate decreases or even turns negative (what happened in Europe in those years).

Here I Sit Sofas has 7,100 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $94 per share. There are 600 bonds that mature in 30
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Weight of debt = 57.83 %

Explanation:

given data

number of shares =  7,100

price = $94 per share

number of bonds = 600

mature time = 30 year s

coupon rate = 6.8 percent

bonds par value = $2,000

sell = 108.5 percent

stock outstanding = 6,000 shares

stock outstanding price = $47 per share

to find out

capital structure weight of the debt

solution

first we get here Equity market value that is express as

Equity market value = number of shares × price per share

Equity market value = 7100 × $94

Equity market value = $667,400

and  

current debt value will be here as

current debt value = number of bonds × price per bond

current debt value = 600 × (1.085 × 2000)

current debt value = $1,302,000

and now Preferred stock value will be

Preferred stock value = stock outstanding × stock outstanding price

Preferred stock value = 6,000  × $47

Preferred stock value = $282000

and total capital will be as  

Total capital = Equity market value + current debt value + preferred stock value ..................1

put here value

Total capital =  $667,400 +  $1,302,000 + $282000

total capital = $2251400

so here Weight of debt will be

Weight of debt = debt value ÷ total capital ..............2

Weight of debt = \frac{1,302,000}{2251400}

Weight of debt = 0.578306

Weight of debt = 57.83 %

Quality decreases. Quantity purchased decreases. Both item decreasing is a positive relation and thus would not yield a negative slope.

b)

Spending rises. Income rises. Both items increasing is a positive relation and thus would not yield a negative slope.

d)

Qty sold increases. Quality increases. Both items increasing is a positive relation and thus would not yield a negative slope.
