Answer:

Short range predictors:

c. Nominal interest rate differential

d. Psychological effects

e. Investor expectations

f. Bandwagon effect

Long range predictors:

a. Relative monetary growth

b. Relative inflation rates

Explanation:

Nominal rate, the real rate, and inflation. long term predictors of an economic theory in which a relationship between inflation, nominal interest rate and real interest rate is identified. It defines that real interest rate is equal to inflation minus nominal interest rate.

Bandwagon effect is a short range predictor because it is effect of uptake when people follow others. They take decisions what other do and its their belief that other people have taken the right decision so we too. This is just a short term hop based on beliefs regardless of any underlying evidence.

Company A currently has a stock price $20/per share, with outstanding shares 2 Mil shares. It also has outstanding debt of 20 Mi
irina [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1, The cost of debt before tax is

Given that

NPER = 10%

PMT - $1,000 × 7% = $70

PV = $886

FV = $1,000

The formula is given below:

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

After applying the above formula, the before tax cost of debt is 8.76%

2. The after tax cost of debt is

= 8.76% × (1 - 0.30)

= 6.13%

3.  The total equity is

= $20 per share × 2million shares

= $40 million

4. The cost of equity is

= Risk free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.2 × (9% - 4%)

= 10%

5. The weight of debt is

= ($886 × 20 ÷ $1,000 ) ÷ (886 × 20 ÷ $1,000 + $40)

= 30.70%

6. The WACC is  

= Weight of debt × after tax cost of debt + weight of equity × cost of equity

= 30.70% × 6.13% + (1 - 0.3070) × 10%

= 8.81%

Both Amy and Brad produce and consume apple pie and ice cream. In one hour, Brad makes five apple pies or ten gallons of ice cre
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Amy has absolute advantage in the production of Apples pies and ice cream.

Amy has comparative advantage in the production of Apple pies.

Brad has a comparative advantage in production of ice creams

Amy should specialise in the production of Apple pies, brad should specialise in the production of icecream

Explanation:

A person has comparative advantage in production if he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other people.

Brad's opportunity cost:

In producing apple pies = 10 / 5 = 2

In producing ice cream :5 / 10 = 0.5

Amy's opportunity cost:

In producing apple pies : 15/15 = 1

In producing icecreams : 15/15 = 1

Amy has the lower opportunity cost when compared with Brad in producing apples pies. Therefore, she has comparative advantage in the production of Apple pies.

Brad has the lower opportunity cost when compared with Amy in producing ice cream. Therefore, he has comparative advantage in the production of ice cream.

A person should specialise and trade the good for which she has a comparative advantage.

A person has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service If he produces more quantity of the good when compared with other people.

Amy has absolute advantage in the production of both goods.

Suppose a price floor on sparkling wine is proposed by the Health Minister of the country of Vinyardia. What will be the likely
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

A. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a shortage will result.; B. Quantity demanded will increase, quantity supplied will decrease, and a surplus will result.; C. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result; D. Quantity demanded will increase, quantity supplied will decrease, and a shortage will result.

The correct answer is C. Quantity demanded will decrease, quantity supplied will increase, and a surplus will result.

Explanation:

There is a strong correlation between pricing (at prices higher than the equilibrium price) and the creation of excess supply. Following the analysis of supply and demand, if we start from an initial equilibrium situation (where the quantity demanded and supplied are equal) and the authority decides to set a much higher price, the quantity demanded of the product will decrease and, on the other hand, the quantity supplied will increase, so producers will want to sell more than consumers want to buy. The previous problem will be solved if the authority decides to lower the price of the product, since this encourages consumers to buy more and bidders to produce less.

You are creating a portfolio of two stocks. The first one has a standard deviation of 20% and the second one has a standard devi
Drupady [299]

Answer:

23.56

Explanation:

Standard deviation of  the first stock (σ1) = 20%

Standard deviation of  the second stock (σ2) = 37%

The correlation coefficient between the returns (ρ) = 0.1.

Proportion invested in the first stock (W1) = 43%

Proportion invested in the second stock (W2) = 57%

The standard deviation of a two-stock portfolio's returns is given by

\sigma_{portfolio} = \sqrt{w_1^2\sigma_1^2+w_2^2\sigma_2^2+2w_1w_2\rho\sigma_1\sigma_2} \\\sigma_{portfolio} = \sqrt{0.43^2*0.2^2+0.57^2*0.37^2+2*0.43*0.57*0.1*0.2*0.37}\\\sigma_{portfolio} =0.2356=23.56\%

The standard deviation of this portfolio's returns IS 23.56%
