Answer:

13.968%

Explanation:

Discount is defined as a deduction from the selling price of a product, and it is used as a way to attract more customers by using price advantage compared to competitors.

The following formula can be used to calculate discount

Discount rate = Rate of return + Competitor's beta (market risk premium)

Discount rate = 0.031 + 1.43(0.076)

Discount rate= 0.13968= 13.968%

Answer:

Discount rate = 15.4%

Explanation:

<em>The cost of equity of Decker can  be determined using the capital asset pricing model. </em>

<em>The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta. </em>

Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.

Ke? Rf- 3.1, β- 1.62, Rm-Rf = 7.6

Ke =3.1 + (1.62× 7.6)= 15.4%

Discount rate would be the same as the cost of equity.

Discount rate = 15.4%

Lisa [10]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Monopoly.

The 2 reasons why the monopoly’s marginal revenue will always be less than its price are;

a) Even though Monopolies have very large influence on the prices of goods and services they offer, for a Monopoly to sell more goods, they generally have to lower their prices. This will lead to a situation where Marginal Revenue, which is the additional revenue made per additional unit sold will be less than Price because additional revenue for a new unit will be less than the last one because prices are dropped .

b) A Monopoly's demand schedule is downward sloping. This means that demand rises as prices drop. As prices drop therefore, more goods will be sold but the marginal revenue will be less because prices had to be dropped to get an additional unit to be sold. That unit therefore will bring in less revenue than the last unit.

Perfectly Competitive Market

In such a market, the seller is a Price Taker. This means that sellers in this market do not sell at a price that they want but rather at a price the market has established to be the Equilibrium. This is because of the high competition in the market. Since they are all selling at the same price, this means that every additional revenue they get is the same as the price the market charges. This means that Price equals Marginal Revenue in this market.

Anna [14]

Answer:

SF7.37

Explanation:

PV of cash flow is calculated using the formula

1-(1+r)^-n/r=1-(1-0.15)^5/0.15=1-(0.75)^5/0.15=1-0.237/0.15=5.085

So pv=5.085×4.4=SF

20.3385million

Using interest parity

1+ic/1+ib =Fo/So

Counter country is US while home country is in

swiss

1+0.05/1.04=fo/1.09

Fo=1.09×1.05/1.04=1.1

So expected PV=20.3385×1.1=SF22.37235million

Profit=23.37235-15=SF7.37

Economists occasionally speak of "helicopter money" as a short-hand approach to explaining to increases in the money supply. sup
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer and Explanation:

a. In case when the new bills are kept by the people so the supply of money would be increase by a very similar amount as it was dropped off the plane. That's because the banking is not in the image, so there is no impact on the money multiplier.

b. If the amount is deposited in the bank, the cash supply would rise with the money multiplier being taken into account. Money Multiplier = Deposited currency / reserve ratio. The overall supply of money that will raise be 1 billion / 0.1.

c.Again, if a 100% reserve banking is exercised by the bank, so the boosted money supply would be the same value as it has been deposited.

d. If half of the value is held by the public and half of the value is deposited with the bank at 10% of the reserves, the supply of money rises by half of the amount which is held by the public in addition of half of the value / reserve ratio that is 10%.
