Answer:

C) the industry would more closely approximate pure competition

Explanation:

A monopolistically competitive industry is one with different firms selling similar products that are slightly differentiated. It is very easy for firms to enter into industries that are monopolistically competitive. They also have the autonomy to increase their prices.

If the number of firms in a monopolistically competitive industry increases and the degree of product differentiation diminishes they would then resemble a pure competition because they would all be selling identical products which would result in little or no competition.

hammer [34]

Answer: B.) 18.67%

Explanation:

WACC = Debt/(Depth +Equity)

Equity Details ;

Stock price = $15.25 per share

Total stock = 10,000,000

DEBT details :

Total bond = 40,000

Interest on bond = $875

WACC =(40,000×875) ÷ [(40,000 × 875)+(10, 000,000×15.25)]

WACC =[ 35,000,000 ÷ (35,000,000 +152500000) ]

WACC =35,000,000 ÷ 187500000

WACC = 0.18666666666666

Luda [366]

Answer:

a)Annual Repayment Installment:$2,812.1

b)

Amount to be applied to interest:$1040

Amount to be applied to principal:  $1772.10

Explanation:

The annual payment which will be used to offset the loan is computed as

follows:

Annual Installment  = Loan amount/annuity factor

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n)/r )

                      = 1- (1+0.08)^(-6)/0.08)

                     = 4.6228

Annual Repayment Installment

= 13,000/4.6228

= $2,812.1

b) Amount of first payment to be applied to Interest and principal :

Amount to be applied to interest:

Interest due in year 1 = 8% × $13,000

                                  = $1040

Amount to be applied to principal:

 =   $2,812.1-1040

=    $1772.10

Annual Repayment Installment:$2,812.1

Amount to be applied to interest:$1040

Amount to be applied to principal:  $1772.10
