Prior to 2005, it seemed like house prices always rose and never fell. When the demand for housing increases, prices in the hous

ing market rise but not always by very much. For prices to rise substantially, the supply of housing must be relatively inelastic. That is, if the quantity supplied increases rapidly whenever house prices rise, price increases will remain small. Many have suggested government polices to increase the elasticity of supply. What specific policies might hold prices down when demand increases? Explain.

Answer:

To hold home prices down, we need to increase elasticity of supply.An inelastic supply is one that cant change quickly to adapt to market changes. An elastic supply in housing means there are house to spare when market demand increases. In an attempt to create an elastic supply in housing, increase spare capacity can be worked on. Reduction in Tax rate for developers and shortening permit processes for building new homes would definitely create additional housing for purchase. To increase elasticity, we must supporting inventories of raw materials. The Lumber and concrete suppliers can be ensure to receive concessions to encourage them to supply additional raw materials.

ipn [44]

We can use the PV of perpetuity formula as the dividends will be paid for the infinite period of time. But we need to do a small adjustment for floatation cost. Following formula can be applied:

Cost of preferred stock = Annual Dividend / (Price x (1- flotation cost %))

= 8.50 / ( 97.50 x (1- 0.04))

= 8.50/93.60

= 9.08%

tester [92]

Answer:

According to Tyler the accountant the costs are $25,900 and Greg says the costs are $66,500.

Explanation:

COST AS PER TYLER -

According to Tyler( accountant) , Walters accounting cost will include the expenses which have been incurred on the painting business, so it will include the expenses paid by Walter on supplies and the interest he pays to his uncle.

Accounting cost = $25,000 + $30,000 x 3%

                           = $25,000 + $900

                           = $25,900

COST AS PER GREG -

According to Greg (economist) , Walters economic cost will include both the explicit cost and implicit cost. The explicit cost is $25,900 and the implicit cost is the opportunity cost which will include the interest that Walter could have earned on savings account and the salary as a teacher.

Economic cost = $25,900 + $40,000 + $20,000 x 3%

                         = $25,900 + $40,000 + $600

                         = $66,500
