Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
We have to use MM proposition that cost of equity will change itself in such a manner so that it can take care of its debt.
Cost of equity:
= WACC of all equity firm + (WACC of all equity - Cost of debt ) × (Debt -to-equity ratio)
At the beginning, when there was no debt,
WACC = cost of equity = 10%
Levered cost of equity:
= 10% + ( 10% - 6%) × 0.2
= 10.8%
Therefore, Taggart's levered cost of equity would be closest to 11%.

If this feeling were to be removed she may not actually fail or perform poorly in the exam.

Answer:
The decrease in production, is the right answer.
Explanation:
The decrease in production because if the output is more than planned aggregate expenditure then the equilibrium point will be at a lower point. Thus, in order to reach the equilibrium level, the production has to decrease. Moreover, if the output is lower than the planned aggregate expenditure then the production should be increased to reach the equilibrium point.
Answer:
option c) $ 12 billion
Explanation:
Data provided :
Required reduction in consumption = $ 36 billion
MPC = 0.75
Now,
Total income = Required reduction in consumption / MPC
or
the Increase in tax = $ 36 billion / 0.75
or
= $ 48 billion
the government can raise the tax = $ 48 billion - $ 36 billion = $ 12 billion
Hence, the answer is option C
