When comparing the three broad types of economic systems, it can be said that for a pure market economy to function efficiently,
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

These statements are correct:

In a command economy, state-owned enterprises have little incentive to control costs and be efficient.

In a command economy, the absence of competition means that state-owned enterprises do not have incentive to be efficient. This is because In command economies, these companies are most of the time monopolies who have a safer market to sell their products, because consumers lack choice.

Mixed economies were once uncommon throughout much of the world, although they are becoming more popular now.

Most economies now are mixed: in part free market economies, in part command economies. For example, in most developed countries, most sectors are left for private companies to compete, but a few areas are still directly controlled by the government, either fully or partially (for example: the healthcare sector, and education).

ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume the following values for Figures 4.4a and 4.4b: Q1 = 20 bags. Q2 = 15 bags. Q3 = 27 bags. The market eq
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Total surplus is the area bounded by points a, b, and c. To calculate total surplus, we use the following formula for the area of a triangle: Area = ½ × Base × Height. The area between the demand curve and the supply curve for the quantity ranging from 0 to 20 is the total economic surplus. This is a triangle with a base (best read off the price axis) of $80, which is the price difference at Q = 0, or between points a and c, and a height of 20 (the number of units purchased in equilibrium). Using these values, we have a total surplus of (1/2) × $80 × 20 = $800.

The consumer surplus is the area between the demand curve and the equilibrium price line. Here we have a base of $40 (the price difference between the demand schedule price at Q = 0, which is $85, and the equilibrium price of $45). The height of the triangle is once again 20 (the number of units purchased in equilibrium). Using these values, we have a consumer surplus of (1/2) × 40 × 20 = $400.

b. Deadweight loss is the difference in total surplus between an efficient level of output Q1 and a reduced level of output at Q2. We can calculate this as the area of a triangle bounded by points bde. The base of this triangle is the difference in prices at points d and e, or $55 – $35 = $20. The height of this triangle is given by the difference in the restricted level of output of Q2 = 15 and the efficient level of output Q1 = 20, or 5 units. Thus, the area of this triangle (the deadweight loss) is equal to (1/2) × $20 × 5 = $50. The remaining total surplus can be found by subtracting the deadweight loss from the original (efficient) total surplus. This is $800 (maximum total surplus) – $50 (deadweight loss) = $750.

c. The deadweight loss from overproduction is the difference in total surplus between an efficient level of output Q1 and an additional level of output at Q3. We can calculate this as the area of a triangle bounded by points bfg. The base of this triangle is the difference in prices at points f and g, or $59 – $31 = $28. The height of this triangle is given by the difference in the additional level of output Q3 = 27 and the efficient level of output Q1 = 20, or 7 units. Thus, the area of this triangle (the deadweight loss) is equal to (1/2) × $28 × 7 = $98. The remaining total surplus can be found by subtracting the deadweight loss from the original total surplus. This is $800 (maximum total surplus) – $98 (deadweight loss) = $702. Note here that we maximize total (producer + consumer) surplus by producing the equilibrium quantity, but we lose surplus from overproduction (inefficient use of resources).

Turnbull Co. has a target capital structure of 45% debt, 4% preferred stock, and 51% common equity. It has a before-tax cost of
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

TurnBull's Weighted Average cost of capital is higher by 1.07% if the used common Equity to raised the capital.

Explanation:

First, using the WACC formula and using Retained earnings cost of Capital. we get the following outcome.

WACC = Debt W x after tax cost of Debt + Preferred Stock weight x Cost of capital + Equity W x Cost of Capital

WACC = 45% x 8.33% + 4% x 12.20% + 51% x 14.70% =

WACC = 3.75% + 0.49% + 7.50% = 11.73%

Second, using the WACC formula and using common equity cost of Capital. we get the following outcome.

WACC = Debt W x after tax cost of Debt + Preferred Stock weight x Cost of capital + Equity W x Cost of Capital

WACC = 45% x 8.33% + 4% x 12.20% + 51% x 16.80% =

WACC = 3.75% + 0.49% + 8.57% = 12.80%

Increase Cost using common equity over Retained earnings is (12.80% - 11.73% ) = 1.07%
