Answer:
a) equilibrium price to rise, fall, or stay the same and equilibrium quantity to rise.
Explanation:
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of each other.
If the price of rice rises, consumers shift to the consumption of potatoes. Price and quantity demanded of potatoes increases
The bumper harvest increases supply of potatoes. Price falls and quantity increases.
The effect on equilibrium quantity of potatoes would be indeterminate but equilibrium quantity would rise.

Answer:
$0.70 and 3.3
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Household spending for each additional dollar = $0.70
And, the remaining amount = $0.30
So in the given case,
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = household spending for each additional dollar i.e $0.70
And, the Spending multiplier is
= 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
= 1 ÷ 1 - $0.70
= 1 ÷ $0.30
= 3.3
Answer:
The company's earnings per share is $ 4.
Explanation:
EPS earning per share is an indicator widely used by investor of stock market in order to determine market value of their investment. EPS is directlty proportional to stock price.
EPS is calculated by dividing net income with outstanding common shares.
EPS = Net income/ outstanding common shares
EPS = 34,000/8,500 = $ 4
Answer:
a) a downward shift in the AFC curve
Explanation:
AFC = Average Fixed Cost, AVC = Average Variable Cost, MC = Marginal Cost
Average Fixed Cost is defined as the fixed cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:
Average Fixed Cost = Fixed Cost ÷ Quantity
AVC = FC ÷ Q
Average Variable Cost is defined as the variable cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:
AFC = VC ÷ Q
Marginal Cost is defined as the cost incurred for an additional unit to be produced. Mathematically given as:
MC = ΔC ÷ ΔQ
The firm discovered a more efficient technology implies that the cost of production is reduced. The result of this is that the fixed cost (FC) is reduced and consequently, the AFC is reduced as well. Hence, the AFC curve shifts downward. We therefore see that a reduction in fixed costs (due to the discovery of a more efficient technology) results in the AFC curve shifting downwards
<u>Hence, Option A (a downward shift in the AFC curve) is the correct answer </u>
Answer:
The company's cost of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC is 9.65%
Explanation:
For computing the cost of preferred stock, the following formula should be used which is shown below
= Annual dividend based on preferred stock ÷ (Price per share × Flotation cost)
where,
Flotation cost = 1- rate
= 1- 4% = 0.96
= $9.50 ÷ ($102.50 × 0.96)
= $9.50 ÷ $98.4
= 9.65%
The flotation cost should be deducted because it is a one time expense. Thus, it would be minus from price per share.
Hence, the company's cost of preferred stock for use in calculating the WACC is 9.65%
