Answer:

The total loss in welfare to the economy will be -$32.

Explanation:

By intersecting the supply function QS to the demand function QD, we will find the equilibrium price:

QD = QS

16P - 8 = 64 - 16P

16P + 16P = 64 +8 =

32P = 72

P = $2.00

Replacing the equilibrium price either in QS or QD, we foind the equilibrium quantity:

QS = 64 - 16*2  = 64 -32

QS =  32

In this case the total revenues at the equilibrium price RE will be:

RE = 32 * $2 = $64

On the other hand if the government imposes a price floor at $3.00, then the new total revenues RN will be:

RN = 32 * $3 = $96

Therefore the total losses is find by subtracting the revenue at the goverment price floor RN to the revenue at the equilibrium price RE:

LT = RE - RN

LT = $64 - $96 = -$32

Ugo [173]

Answer:

d) $18.62

Explanation:

Hi, first, let´s introduce the formula to find the price of this stock.

Price=\frac{D_{0} (1+g)}{(r-g)}

Where:

Do = Last Dividend

g = growth rate

r = cost of equity

We have almost everything, all we need to do is find "r". That is:

r=rf+beta*MRP

Where:

rf = risk Free rate

MRP = market risk premium.

So, we find r first as follows:

r=0.04+1.15*0.05=0.0975

therefore, r = 9.75%. Now we are ready to find the price of the stock.

Price=\frac{0.75*(1+0.055)}{0.0975-0.055} =18.62

The price of this stock is $18.62

Best of luck.
