Answer:
8.30%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital of the company is computed using the WACC formula below:
WACC=(We*Ke)+(Wp*Kp)+(Wd*kd)
We=weight of common equity=50%
Ke=cost of retained earnings which is a proxy for the cost of equity=11.50%
Wp=weight of preferred stock=20%
Kp=cost of preferred stock=6.00%
Wd=weight of debt=30%
Kd=after-tax cost of debt=4.50%
WACC=(50%*11.50%)+(20%*6.00%)+(30%*4.50%)
WACC=8.30%
Answer:
✔️Demand Pull Inflation:
1. Too much money chasing too few goods
2. Stiff competition among consumers
✔️Cash Pull Inflation:
1. Increase in cost of production
2. Decrease in supply of goods and services
3. Aim of sellers is to maximize profit
Explanation:
Demand pull inflation is often caused by the increase in the aggregate demand of outputs than an economy can produce as a result of increased government spending, expanding economy and so on.
On the other hand, cash pull inflation is caused by the decrease in aggregate supply of goods and supply as result of increased cost of the factors of production.
Thus, let's match each description to the types of inflation they belong to:
✔️Demand Pull Inflation:
1. Too much money chasing too few goods (excess demand as a result of expanding economy)
2. Stiff competition among consumers (businesses, households, governments and foreign buyers bid prices up and compete to purchase the limited available goods and services)
✔️Cash Pull Inflation:
1. Increase in cost of production (this pushes the cost of goods and services up)
2. Decrease in supply of goods and services (aggregate supply decreases)
3. Aim of sellers is to maximize profit (as production cost increase, sellers would have to increase the price of goods and services in order not to run at a loss).
If the market had one supplier that was a monopoly then there would be only one firm operating in the market, with no competition.
In a market, a monopolist tends to charge a price higher and produces fewer units than a competitive market structure. Because of such higher monopoly price, the area of consumer surplus tends to decrease.
The market power of a monopoly affects both consumer and producer surplus as a firm is able to earn positive economic profits, and as it is a monopoly, other firms are unable to enter their market and cannot lead to competition.
Hence, a firm is a monopoly if it can ignore other firms prices.
