Answer:

9.68 percent

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the firm's cost of equity

Using this formula

Cost of equity=[(Annual dividend×Increase in dividends×/Current price of common stock]+Dividends

Let plug in the formula

Cost of equity=[($1.22 × 1.024)/$17.15] + 0.024

Cost of equity=($1.24928/$17.15)+0.024

Cost of equity=0.0728+0.024

Cost of equity=0.0968*100

Cost of equity=9.68 percent

Therefore the firm's cost of equity is 9.68 percent

Foghorn Company entered into a sales transaction in which it agreed to receive common stock from Leghorn Corporation as payment
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The journal entry should be:

Dr Investment in Leghorn Corporation XX

    Cr Accounts receivable XX

Explanation:

Foghorn Company must record the noncash payment as an asset which should be equal to the amount of money that it generally would have collected from the services provided. Since the payment is done through stocks, it must record that collection as an investing account.

Since transferring stocks usually takes a couple of days at least, the original journal entry should have recorded a debit to accounts receivable and a credit to service revenue.

Suppose Germany, a large country, imposes a tariff on tuna imports. Before the tariff, all the countries in the world are engage
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. This is true.

The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.

2. This is true.

German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.

3. This statement is false.

The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.

4. This statement is true.

If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.

5. This is false.

Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.

g The effect on revenue due to a marginal increase in the input is called the marginal revenue product. Match the statements bel
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Statement true for Imperfect Competition Markets

Explanation:

Marginal Revenue Product is additional revenue due to hiring of additional input, it is product of marginal product & marginal revenue = MP x MR

Value Marginal Product is money value of additional production with additional input, product of marginal product (MP) & price (AR), = MP x AR

Input demand curves are derived demand curves, derived from demand of final goods. In perfect competition, demand is perfectly inelastic & horizontal, AR = MR, so MRP = VMP in this case. In imperfect competition market (oligopoly, monopoly etc) - MR < AR, so MRP < VMP in this case.
