Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
When the interest rate falls below the normal level, people expect the interest rates to rise in future and bond prices to fall. This causes investors to sell the bonds at present so that they can buy bonds when they are selling at lower prices in future as of result of an increase in interest rates. Money demand will, as a result, will decrease.
Answer:
Liquidity Effect
Explanation:
The liquidity effect is one of the resulting outcomes of the government policies which increases money in the economy system. However, the liquidity effect is the cause of the reduction in the real interest rates.
Therefore, If the Fed increases its open market purchases of government securities, it exerts downward pressure on real interest rates. This situation is commonly referred to as LIQUIDITY EFFECT.
Answer:
WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%
Explanation:
WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure which can comprise of debt, preferred stock and common equity. The WACC for a firm with only debt and common equity can be calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate) + wE * rE
Where,
- w represents the weight of each component based on market value in the capital structure
- r represents the cost of each component
- D and E represents debt and equity respectively
To calculate WACC, we first need to calculate the Market value an cost of equity.
The market value of equity = 30 million shares * $40 per share
MV of equity = $1200 million
The cost of equity can be found using the formula for Price today (P0) under constant growth model of DDM.
P0 = D1 / (r - g)
40 = 4 / (r - 0.07)
40 * (r - 0.07) = 4
40r - 2.8 = 4
40r = 4+2.8
r = 6.8 / 40
r = 0.17 or 17%
MV of debt = 40 million * 96.5% => $38.6 million
Total MV of capital structure = 38.6 + 1200 = 1238.6 million
WACC = 38.6/1238.6 * 0.08 * (1-0.33) + 1200/1238.6 * 0.17
WACC = 0.16637 OR 16.637%
The synchronous speed (rpm) equals 60 times the frequency divided by the number of pole pairs. For 50Hz, a two-pole motor will have a synchronous speed of 3000 rpm, a four-pole motor of 1500 rpm.
The actual speed is a few percent lower due to the slip of the asynchronous motor.
The slip increases with the torque, typical values are 5–10%. The rated speed for a four-pole motor at 50Hz will thus be something like 1360 rpm. At no-load, the slip is very small.
