Answer:
(a) 14%
(b) 15%
(c) 15.48%
Explanation:
cost of retained earnings:
= ($3.03 ÷ $34) + 0.05
= 0.09 + 0.05
= 14%
Therefore, the Evanec's cost of retained earnings is 14%
Flotation cost percentage:
= [($34 - $28.90) ÷ $34] × 100
= 0.15 × 100
= 15%
Therefore, the Evanec's percentage flotation cost is 15%.
Cost of new common stock:
= ($3.03 ÷ $28.90) + 0.05
= 0.1048 + 0.05
= 15.48%
Therefore, the Evanec's cost of new common stock is 15.48%.
Answer:
loanable amount after Fed operation = $950 M
Securities after fed operation = $50 M
attached below is the T-account table
Explanation:
Given data:
For assets : securities = $100 M , Loans = $800 M
For Liabilities : Constant demand deposit = $1000 M
difference between the assets and liability = $100 M and this makes the Banking system unbalanced hence the Banking system needs the intervention of the Fed. and the reduction in the required reserve ratio from 10% to 5% is the right action
How with the reserve ratio reduced to: 0.05
hence required Minimum required securities after operation = 0.05 * 1000 M = 50 M
Note : Total demand deposits = securities + loanable amount
therefore loanable amount after Fed operation = $1000 M - $50 M = $950
Attached below is the T-table
When both tables are compared it can be seen that there is a significant increase in the loanable amount after the Fed's operations and increase in Loanable amount transcends to increase in Monetary base
Answer:
The answer is 27 hours
Explanation:
Solution
The Comparative advantage depends on production of the lower opportunity cost
The opportunity cost of a production is =maximum production of other good /maximum production of the good
Now,
The opportunity cost of hot dog bun for town A =10/4=2.5
Thus,
The opportunity cost of hot dog bun for town B=6/10=0.6
So,
The town B has a comparative advantage in hot dog buns and A in sausages
Town A will produce-only sausages and it will take the time of
time in hours =total required a quantity of the good /number of products in an hour
Now,
The time for Town A for sausages=120/10=12 hours
The time for Town B for hot dog buns=120/8=15 hours
Therefore, The total time =12+15=27 hours.
The items that describes what happens at the equilibrium price are:
Producers supply the exact goods that consumers buy.
Consumers have enough goods, at the given price.
Producers used their resources efficiently.
Equilibrium pricing is when the items demanded match the items supplied. When this happens, the demand and good available equal each other, hence, equilibrium. The pricing is exactly where it should be for consumers to want and purchase the good or service.
