Answer:

D) all of the above

Explanation:

Probably the single most labor reducing factor is new technology and how it is applied within a business. Automation is probably the single most important labor reducing factor in the US over the last 30 years. This is specially for factory workers, since automation is responsible for fewer industry jobs, not China.

New technologies increase marginal returns for labor and they also have changed organizations completely.

Computers, the internet, smartphones, Amazon, etc., have changed our world. Even the military has changed, a pilot can be located inside a US base and his airplane is flying a mission in the Middle East.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

12%

Explanation:

For computing the equity cost of capital first we have to determine the weight of the capital structure after that the WACC and then finally equity cost of capital which is shown below:

Weight of capital structure

For debt  

= $200 million ÷ $400 million

= 0.50

For equity

= 50 million × $4 ÷ $400 million

= 0.50

Now the WACC is

= 0.50  11% + 0.50 × 5%

= 8%

Since the value fo equity is declined by

= 50 × $3

= $150

Now the equity cost of capital is

= WACC + (WACC - interest rate) × (debt ÷ equity)

= 8% + (8% - 5%) × (200 ÷ 150)

= 12%

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Many people's wealth is held in stocks and as the price of stocks collapsed, they lost wealth.

Imagine that this happened to you. One day you are rich and that affects your spending habits. In a matter of few days or weeks, you lose a large portion of your wealth. So now, you are less rich or even poor. So your spending habits will be altered, i.e. you will spend less.

If you consider the economy as a whole, aggregate demand will fall, resulting in a decrease of aggregate supply, and an overall decrease of the GDP.
