Answer:
B. shortage of 1,000 gallons per week
Explanation:
Price = $1
Quantity demanded = 2,000
Quantity supplied = 1,000
Shortage = Quantity demanded - Quantity supplied
= 2,000 -1,000
= 1,000 gallons per week
Therefore, As per question Quantity demand that is 2,000 and quantity supplied that is 1,000. So, in this given case the Quantity demand is more than the quantity supplied.
Hence, there is shortage of 1,000 gallons per week.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Inflation is when there's a general increase in the price level in an economy. To tackle inflation, the Fed can increase the interest rate as this will discourage people or firms from borrowing and hence there'll be a reduction in the money supply.
Also, the Fed can sell bond to the public, thereby taking in the cash in the economy and reducing the money supply thus reducing inflation. Lastly, the Fed can also increase the reserve ratio for banks. When this is done, there'll be lesser money available in the economy.
Answer: 300 feet
Explanation:
Three important factors are involved in bringing a moving vehicle to a stop.
1. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while your brain perceives the need to apply the brakes. An alert driver requires about 0.75 seconds to react. This time accounts for about 60 feet of travel.
2. Reaction distance is the distance traveled before the driver actually presses on the brake pedal. For an alert driver, this also takes about 0.75 seconds. This adds another 60 feet of travel.
3. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels before coming to a stop on a dry ground. On a slippery ground (after snow or rain) this distance is longer. On dry ground, the skidding distance is about 170 feet.
This means that an alert driver needs 60+60+170 = 290 feet (approximately 300 feet) to stop.
For this reason, tailgating at high driving speeds is dangerous.
Answer:
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
Option b is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wP * rP + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component
- D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
- r represents the cost of each component
- rD * (1-tax rate) represents the after tax cost of debt
WACC = 0.2 * 0.16 + 0.8 * 0.185
WACC = 0.18 or 18%
