Answer:
B) diminishing marginal utility
Explanation:
The law of Diminishing marginal utility states that utility falls as consumption increases.
The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
Because of diminishing marginal utility, consumption can be encouraged by reducing price.
As utility falls, consumers would be unwilling to buy more goods at the same price, therefore it would be reasonable to reduce price to encourage consumption.
All of these factors are important to consider EXCEPT "taxes paid on interest" because the banking institution has no control over the tax rate and how much you would be responsible for paying at the end of the year. Tax rates are set by federal and state governments and would be the same rate no matter which savings account you chose.
Conversion costs are the combination of direct labor costs plus factory overhead costs. Hence, conversion costs exclude the cost of direct materials.
So, here the conversion cost = Direct labor cost + Factory overhead cost
= $ 84,000 + $ 45,500
= $ 129,500

We can use the PV of perpetuity formula as the dividends will be paid for the infinite period of time. But we need to do a small adjustment for floatation cost. Following formula can be applied:
Cost of preferred stock = Annual Dividend / (Price x (1- flotation cost %))
= 8.50 / ( 97.50 x (1- 0.04))
= 8.50/93.60
= 9.08%
