Answer:

The correct answer to the problem is 7.728%

Explanation:

Lucas marginal tax rate = 32 percent

Tax rate on dividends = 16 percent

Dividend yield of a dividend-paying stock (with no growth potential) = 9.20 percent.

To determine the interest rate a municipal bond have to offer for Lucas to be indifferent between the two investments from a cash flow perspective =

Dividend yield multiplied by ( 1- tax rate on dividends)

= 9.20% × (1 - 16%)

= 0.092 × (1 - 0.16)

= 0.092 × 0.84

= 7.728%

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The answer is option A) The short run recommendation for a monopolistic firm is to remain at the current output level

Explanation:

In the short run, monopolistic firms could record losses but still continue to run in anticipation of a sustainable profit in the long run.

A self-employed profit-maximizing consultant specializing in monopolies understands that the short run losses experienced in a monopoly is also an advantage in that it reduces the participation of more players in the same industry/ market segment.

The best recommendation would be to remain at the current output level during the short run to cut losses, sustain patronage and then develop a long term strategy that will guarantee profitability in the long run.
