Assume there is a decrease in the market demand for a good sold by price-taking firms that are initially producing the profit-ma

pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Firms will exit the market, causing price to rise until losses are eliminated

Explanation:

When there is a decrease in demand in a Perfectly Competitive Market, firms will have to start producing at a lower Quantity to manage their Marginal cost. This leads to Economic losses on their part in the short run.

In the long run however, should the situation remain the same, the new price would be less than their Average Cost which would deepen Economic losses. Firms would respond by exiting the market in the long run.

As the firms exit, the supply curve shifts left as supply drops. This drop in supply leads to a price rise. The exits will continue until enough firms leave that the market's remaining firms will stop suffering economic losses.

High Flyer, Inc., wishes to maintain a growth rate of 16.75 percent per year and a debt–equity ratio of 1.05. The profit margin

mylen [45]

Answer:

The dividend payout ratio is -48.12%

The Sustainable growth rate is 16.74%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the dividend payout ratio we would have to calculate the following formula:

growth rate=(ROE x dividend payout ratio ) / [ (1 - (ROE x dividend payout ratio))

To calcuate the ROE we would have to use the following formula:

ROE=Profit margin x Total asset turnover x Equity multiplier

ROE=0.045 x 1.05 x (1 + 1.05)

ROE=0.0968625

Therefore, dividend payout ratio would be calculated as follows:

0.1675 = (0.0968625 x dividend payout ratio) / [ 1 - (0.0968625 x dividend payout ratio))

0.1675 = 0.0968625 dividend payout ratio / (1 - 0.0968625 dividend payout ratio)

0.1675 - 0.016224469 dividend payout ratio = 0.0968625 dividend payout ratio

0.1675 = 0.113086969 dividend payout ratio

dividend payout ratio=1.481160928

Therefore, dividend payout ratio=1-1.481160928

dividend payout ratio=-48.12%

To calculate the Sustainable growth rate we would have to calcilate the following formula:

Sustainable growth rate=ROE*b/1-ROE*b

Sustainable growth rate=0.0968625*1.481160928/1-0.0968625*1.481160928

Sustainable growth rate=0.14346895/1-0.14346895

Sustainable growth rate=0.14346895/0.85653105

Sustainable growth rate=16.74%
