Answer:

The Producer surplus = 19.6.

consumer surplus = 12.25.

Aggregate supply = 31.85.

Explanation:

Normally, the demand equilibrium function equals to supply equilibrium function will get us the price which is $3 that is Qd = Qs. Hence, if we equate both function together like;

15 - 2P = 5P - 6.

15 +6 = 5P + 2P.

21 = 7P.

P = $3.

Thus, Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(3) = 15 - 6 = 9 units.

Qs = 5P - 6 = 5(3) - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9.

Therefore, if the price is going to be Increased by $4, we will have that;

Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(4) = 15 - 8 = 7 units.

=> The Producer surplus = 1/2 × 14 (4 - 1.2) = 19.6.

=> consumer surplus = 1/2 × 7 (7.5 - 4) = 12.25.

Aggregate supply = Producer surplus + consumer surplus = 19.6 + 12.25 = 31.85.

At the present time, Water and Power Company (WPC) has 5-year noncallable bonds with a face value of $1,000 that are outstanding
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

6.53%      

Explanation:

For computing the after cost of debt we need to use the RATE formula i.e to be shown in attached spreadsheet. Kindly find it below:

Given that,  

Present value = $1,050.76

Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 10% = $100

NPER = 5 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after applying this above formula

1. The pretax cost of debt is 8.70

2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be

= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)

= 8.70% × ( 1 - 0.25)

= 6.53%
