Options:
<em>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</em>
<em>b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall</em>
<em>c. Stay the same</em>
<em>d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.</em>
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.
What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.
Answer: 9.2%
Explanation:
The interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be calculated thus:
Firstly, we will calculate the previous risk premium on BBB bonds which will be:
= 11.5% - 8.7% = 2.8%
Then, the new risk premium on BBB bonds will be:
= Previous risk premium / 2
= 2.8% / 2
= 1.4%
Then, the interest rate that Rolling Coast should expect to issue new bonds will be:
= 7.8% + 1.4%
= 9.2%
Stick to the regular risk and not the new one
Answer:
1. This is true.
The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.
2. This is true.
German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.
3. This statement is false.
The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.
4. This statement is true.
If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.
5. This is false.
Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.
