Explanation:

Elasticitiy of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

32,500 shares of common stock outstanding at a price per share of $80 and a rate of return of 12.95 percent. The firm has 7,350

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

WACC = 11.1%

Explanation:

The weighted Average cost of Capital is the average cost of capital for the different sources of long-term capital available to a firm weighted according to the proportion each source of finance bears to the total capital in the pool.

Market of securities

Common stock = $80 × 32,500= 2,600,000.

Preferred stock = $95.50 × 7,350= 701,925.00

Bond = 407,000/100 × 111.5= 453,805.00

Cost of each capital type

Common stock= 12.95

Preferred stock = (7.90%× 100)/95.50= 8.3%

Bond= 8.11%× (1-0.4)=4.87%

WACC

Type Market Value Cost Market value cost

Common stock 2,600,000. 12.95% 336,700.00

Preferred 701,925.00 8.3% 58,065.00

Bond 453,805.00 4.87% 22,100.30

Total 3,755,730.00 416,865.30

WACC = (416,865.30 / 3,755,730.00) × 100

= 11.1%

WACC = 11.1%

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Because the freeze has damaged the orange crop, the supply curve wil shift to the left, since suppliers now have less oranges available for sale.

This will cause the equilibrium quantity to fall, because there is less produce available, and the equilibrium price to rise, because all else being equal demand remains unaffected, and now, more consumers will scramble for a lesser amount of the good.
