Answer:
A. Set above equilibrium price
Explanation:
A price ceiling is a mandatory maximum price that a seller is allowed to charge. Generally, a government may impose this in order to protect consumers, especially with regards to the purchase of essential goods.
If the price ceiling was set below the equilibrium price (option c) or if the equilibrium price is above the price ceiling (option b), it will immediately cause a shortage (option d) since the quantity demanded would be higher than the quantity supplied when the price falls. This is because people will be willing to purchase more since it is cheaper but suppliers will be willing to produce less due to lower profits. Hence, options b, c and d are eliminated.
Option A is correct because... (please refer attached diagram):
When the price ceiling is above the equilibrium price, suppliers are willing to supply more since they can make higher profits but consumers will reduce purchasing since it is expensive. However, it does not cause any immediate effect because it takes time for suppliers to be able to produce more and cannot be done immediately unless anticipated in advance. In the long run however, quantity demanded will fall from equilibrium quantity to D1 and quantity supplied will rise from equilibrium quantity to S1. Hence, causing a surplus between D1 - S1 in the long run.
Answer:
NPV -6,422.07908
The investment is not profitable at current cost of capital os 11.6%
Explanation:
Sister Pools 11.6% after tax cost of capital
Contructions 10.3% after tax cost of capital
- 85,000
cash flow 17,000 for next 7 years
<u>We will calculate the present value of a 7-years annuity of 17,000 at 11.6% </u>rate
<em>We use Sister Pools rate because we are asked for this company and there is no indication about a change in the cost of capital condition.</em>
<em />
PV = 78,577.92092
<u>Next we subtract the investment cost to get the Net Present Value</u>
78,577.92092 - 85,000 = -6,422.07908
