Market Model - monopolistic competition

Number of Firms - many

Type of Product - standardised

Market Model - perfect competition

Number of Firms - few

Type of Product - standardised

Market Model - oligopoly

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry. In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants

A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.

An example of a monopoly is a utility company

An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. While, a monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry.

Oligopolies are characterised by:

price setting firms
profit maximisation
high barriers to entry or exit of firms
downward sloping demand curve

A company’s perpetual preferred stock has a par value of $65 per share and it pays a dividend rate of 6.25% per year. The prefer

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %

Explanation:

A preferred stock entitles its investor to a fixed amount of dividend for the foreseeable future. The dividend payable by a preferred stock is similar to a perpetuity. Hence, the price of the stock would be the same as the present value of the dividend payable for the foreseeable future.

A preferred stock entitles its owner to a fixed amount of dividend. It is calculated as follows:

Cost of preferred stock = D/P(1-f) × 100

D- Preference dividend

P- stock price

F- flotation cost

Preference dividend = Coupon rate × Nominal value

DATA

Nominal value = $65

Stock price = $58.63

Dividend rate=6.25%

Flotation cost = 6.5%

Preference dividend = 6.25%× 65 = 4.063

Cost of preferred stock =(4.063 /58.63×(1-0.065) × 100 = 7.41 %

Cost of preferred stock=7.41 %
