Answer: Quota
Explanation:
Quotas are a way of limiting the imports that a country receives. It works by placing a limit on the amount of a certain good coming into the country within a certain period of time. After the required quantity is reached, the country stops imports of that good until the next period.
The United States learnt a sharp lesson in oil dependence when in 973, Arab countries placed an embargo on the United States for supporting Israel and this caused economic crises.
Placing a quota on the amount of oil it can get from Saudi Arabia will help it reduce the chances of such an event occurring again.
Answer:
B. the passage of time.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply measures how sensitive quantity supplied are to changes in price.
Price elasticity of supply is determined by the passage of time.
Typically, in the short run, the elasticity of supply is usually inelastic. Prices do not usually impact quantity supplied because in the short run, some of the factors of production are fixed. But in the long run, the price elasticity of supply are more elastic.
The other factors listed above in the options affect the price elasticity of demand.
Answer:
$125,000
Explanation:
total assets $160,000 = total liabilities $90,000 + total equity $70,000
income statement:
revenues $210,000
<u>expenses $120,000</u>
net income $90,000
<u>- dividends $35,000</u>
retained earnings $55,000
stockholders' equity at end of the year = $70,000 + $55,000 = $125,000
Answer:
Required rate of return on clover's stock is 8.99%
Explanation:
The required rate of return on Clover's stock can be computed using Miller and Modgliani capital asset pricing model formula given below:
Ke=Rf+beta*(Rm-Rf)
Ke is the required rate of return, the unknown
Rf is the risk free rate of return of 4.00%
beta for Clover is 0.80
Rm is the not known as well but can computed using the Parr paper's details below:
beta is 1.442
required return IS 13%
13.00%=4.00%+1.442*(Rm-4.00%)
13%-4%=1.442*(Rm-4.00%)
9%=1.442*(Rm-4.00%)
9%/1.442=Rm-4%
6.24%
=Rm-4%
Rm=6.24%+4%
Rm=10.24%
Now the required return on Clover's stock can be computed
Ke=4%+0.8*(10.24%-4%)
Ke=8.99%
