The answer is C. entry by new firms
Answer:
b. Cannot tell the change in equilibrium quantity. The equilibrium price will decrease
Explanation:
Two things are going on here
1. Income decreases, that will shift demand inwards. People can buy fewer goods at any given price
2. New technology is discovered, that shifts supply outwards. Costs are reduced so producers can produce more at a given price
The resulting effects are that price will decrease but the result in quantity is undetermined. This can be seen with the two examples attached. In both cases, the shifting of the curves from D0->D1 and S0->S1 results in lower prices. However, in one case the equilibrium quantity goes up and in the other goes up.
Answer:
The correct option is a.
Explanation:
In the question, it is given that there are two firms namely U and L who has same same amounts of assets, investor supplied material, and Return on investor capital.
The Firm U is unleveraged which has 100% equity
whereas, Firm L is leveraged firm which has 50% debt and 50% equity
As we have to compare these two firms based on return on equity.
So, based on ROE, Firm U has 100% equity so it have more equity
And, the Firm L have 50% equity which means the firm has low equity as 50% contribution is gone to the debt.
The rest information which is given in the question is irrelevant. So, it is ignored.
Thus, the Firm L has a lower ROE than Firm U
Hence, the correct option is a.
