Tema [17]

Answer:

The price of goods needs to be increased.

Explanation:

Excess demand occurs when the quantity demanded is higher than the quantity supplied. This happens when the price of the good is lower than the equilibrium price. This can happen naturally in the market, or can happen if the government imposes a binding price floor.

The best way to solve excess demand is to raise the price, in order to reach equilibrium. Once in equilibrium, the price will coordinate the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded so that they're roughly equal.

Suppose you purchased 500 shares of Jet-Electro Corporation stock at a price of $22.50 per share. One year later, the shares are
viva [34]

Answer:

C) 0.0 percent

Explanation:

The net return on any investment is what we receive from the investment in addition to the purchase price paid.

In the given instance the investor pays $22.50 per share as an investment cost, to acquire such shares. Number of shares purchased = 500

Now at the end of the period the shares are sold for $21 each

Also the dividend per share received is $1.50

Thus, total return = $21 + $1.50 = $22.50 per share.

This is exact same as that of the investment price.

Thus net return = Total benefits - Cost = $22.50 - $22.50 = $0

Since net return is $0 the value of return in percentage shall also be $0.
