Suppose after the semester ends, you take a trip to an Island of Vieques. Upon arriving at the island, you make a stop at one of

the markets and notice that everyone is carrying around jars full of cowry shells. You also notice the person in line in front of you just paid for a twelve-pack old Milwaukee beer with 8 cowry shells. Someone else just bought a Whopper Pizza Combo for 6 cowry shells. Thinking back to your economics class (as painful as that may be), you would conclude that
a) this is a barter economy.
b) those cowry shells are serving as money.
c) cowry shells are valueless.
d) cowry shells soup is a delicacy.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Preferred Stock = $60,000 and $3.00

Common Stock = $100,000 and $1.25

Explanation:

Dividends

Preferred Stock has preference when it comes to dividends payments. The remaining dividends are then paid to Common Stockholders.

Preferred Stock dividend = 20,000 x $50 x 6% = $60,000

Common Stock dividend = $160,000 - $60,000 = $100,000

Dividends per share

Preferred Stock dividend =  $60,000 ÷ 20,000 shares = $3.00

Common Stock dividend =  $100,000 ÷ 80,000 shares = $1.25

In a Cournot market with two firms, the inverse market demand curve is P = 20 – 0.5Q, where Q = q1 + q2. (Firm 1's output = q1;
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

MR = 10 – 1q1.

Explanation:

Demand function, P = 20 – 0.5Q

Q = q1 + q2

Now insert Q in the P = 20 – 0.5Q.

P = 20 – 0.5 (q1 + q2)

We have the value of q2 = 20.

P = 20 – 0.5 (q1 + q2)

P = 20 – 0.5 (q1 + 20)

P = 20 – 0.5q1 – 10

P = 10 – 0.5q1

Total revenue of firm 1, TR = Pq1

TR = 10q1 – (0.5q1)^2

Now MR is the differentiation of TR. So the MR after differentiation if TR of firm 1 is:

MR = 10 – 1q1
