Answer:

Price

The price in the short-run will decrease because with less marginal costs, producers would produce more goods and services which would shift the supply curve to the right. The new intersection with the demand curve will be at a lower price.

Quantity

As said above, producers would produce more goods and services which means that the quantity supplied will increase.

Profit

This is a competitive market. Each firm will earn zero profits because the drop in price will match the drop in marginal costs to ensure that firms are not making anything extra.

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The projects which maximize Vanguard's shareholder wealth are Project A; Project B; Project D.

Explanation:

Projects which maximize the shareholder value are projects delivering Expected Returns which are higher than its risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital (WACC).

As a result, Project A with Expected return of 15% and risk adjusted WACC of 12%; Project B with Expected return of 12% and risk adjusted WACC of 10%; Project D with Expected return of 9% and risk adjusted WACC of 8%; are the projects that maximize the shareholder's value.

On the other hand, Project C with Expected return of 11% and risk adjusted WACC of 12% is harmful to shareholder value.

drek231 [11]

Answer:

$1,250

Given the following :

Amount of marginable stock customer wishes to buy = $7,500

Restricted margin account with $2500 of SMA

Hence, to purchase a marginable stock of $7,500;

50% of $7,500 should be deposited;

50/100 × 7,500 = $3750

Since there is $2500 of SMA in restricted margin account

Hence, the amount needed will be ;

($3,750 - $2,500) = $1,250
