Answer:

9.62%

Explanation:

The firm cost of preferred stock can be calculated as follows

Dividend= $8

Price= $87.50

Floation cost= 5%

= 5/100

= 0.05

= 8/87.50(1-0.05)

= 8/87.50(0.95)

= 8/83.125

= 0.0962×100

= 9.62%

Hence the firm cost of preferred stock is 9.62%

When perfect competition prevails, which characteristic of firms are we likely to observe? They are all price takers. They all t
andrezito [222]

Answer:

They are all price takers. 

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services.

Market price is set by the forces of demand and supply. Therefore, firms are price takers. Because all firms sell identical goods, no seller can set the price for her goods. If a seller attempts to sell above the market price, it would lose patronage. A seller would have no incentive to sell below market price because they would be earning losses.

Perfect competition produces at : price = marginal cost = marginal revenue.

Suppose the current price of a good is $55. At this price, the quantity supplied is 165 units, and the quantity demanded is 240
inysia [295]

Answer:

190

$60

Explanation:

Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied

Equilibrium quantity is the quantity at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied

Let x = change in quantity supplied

the following equations can be derived from the question

165 + 5x = total change in quantity supplied

240 - 10x = total change in quantity demanded

At equilibrium, quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. So,

165 + 5x = 240 - 10x

collect like terms and solve for x

15x = 75

x = 5

this means that quantity supplied would have to increase 5 times : 165 + 5(5) = 190

and quantity demanded would have to decrease 5 times : 240 + 10(5) = 190

equilibrium quantity is 190

equilibrium price = $55 + 1(5) = $60

Why does an inverted yield curve serve as a predictor of a recession?.
choli [55]
An inverted curve reflects the bond market's expectation for the Fed to cut rates down the line. The Fed normally cuts rates in response to an economic downturn, hence why an inverted curve could be a recession signal.

yan [13]

Answer:

(a) the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method; $1054

(b) the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method;  $998 and

(c) the weighted average cost method $760

Explanation:

FIFO

Inventory ; 13 units × $38   = $494

                  14 units × $40  = $560

Total                                    = $1054

LIFO

Inventory ; 13 units × $38   = $494

                  14 units × $36  = $504

Total                                    = $998

weighted average cost

August 7

New Cost per Unit = ((14 units × $36) + (19 units × $38)) / ( 14 units + 19 units )

                               = $37.15

December 11

New Cost per Unit = ((33 units × $37.15) + (14 units × $40))/( 33 units+14units)

                               = $38.00

Inventory Cost = 20 units × $38.00

                        = $760
