Characteristics of competitive markets The model of competitive markets relies on these three core assumptions: 1. There must be many buyers and sellers-a few players can't dominate the market. 2. Firms must produce an identical product-buyers must regard all sellers' products as equivalent. 3. Firms and resources must be fully mobile, allowing free entry into and exit from the industry. The first two conditions imply that all consumers and firms are price takers. While the third is not necessary for price-taking behavior, assume for this problem that a market cannot maintain competition in the long run without free entry. Identify whether or not each of the following scenarios describes a competitive market, along with the correct explanation of why or why not. Scenario Competitive? Dozens of companies produce…

SingComp-AI (“SCAI”) is a Singapore-based startup which develops compliance technology driven by artificial intelligence (“AI”) for financial institutions in Singapore. Compliance technology helps financial institutions in their adherence to applicable laws and regulations, as well as identifying and managing compliance-related risks. In the first year of its operations, SCAI assembled a competent team of professionals to help build its AI infrastructure and to support its growth. Marisa, an AI professional, was hired to head the product development team, and she is widely recognized as one of the key contributors to SCAI’s early success. In SCAI’s second year of operations, Marisa tendered her resignation. It was revealed that Marisa will be joining a rival company called “Eye-Tech” (“ET”), which upset the management of SCAI greatly. ET operates in the same business niche as SCAI, and is also looking to develop similar AI-driven compliance technology for financial institutions. Given…

What is the calculation to get 187,641?

AVC = 10-0.03q+0.00005q^2 ATC = 10-0.03q+0.00005q^2 +100/q and MC = 10-0.06q+0.00015q^2 Answer the following questions in EXCEL:1 At what value of q is AVC at its minimum? (Hint: The easiest way tocalculate this value is to solve AVC - MC = 0 for q.)2  At the above output level what value does AVC take?3 If the forecasted price of the firm's output is $10 per unit:a  How much output will the firm produce in the short run?b  How much profit (loss) will the firm earn)?4 If the forecasted price is $7 per unit:a  How much output will the firm produce in the short run? (Keep only2 decimals)b  How much profit (loss) will the firm earn)? (Keep only 2 decimals)

U and L are two firms with the same EBIT of $100,000. They are identical in every respect except firm L has a debt of $500,000 at 5% rate of interest. The cost of equity of firm U is 8% and that of firm L is 12%. Assume that arbitrage principle will be applied in this setting and it is possible to make an arbitrage profit (surplus). Also, all earnings streams are perpetuities, taxes are ignored and both firms distribute all earnings available to common stockholders. Assume that an investor has 20% of shares (equity) of the firm L and MM assumptions hold. That is, you will be able to borrow or lend at the same rate as the firms can (5%). How much would the arbitrage profit (surplus) be for that investor who owns 20% of equity of the firm L and plans to create that arbitrage by switching to firm U? (Do not use the $ sign in your answer. If your answer is $12,345.67, then enter 12345.67 )

In the special case when asset returns are independently identically distributed (IID) through time, how is the dynamic problem different from the buy-and-hold problem over the entire investment horizon?

Suppose that SolarHeat Co., a renewable energy startup, currently has earnings of $10 per share and that Eleanor anticipates the earnings per share to grow by 6 percent per year. Using a mean industry PE ratio of 12 and the expected annual growth rate on the firm's existing earnings, the estimated stock price in three years is: $138.63 $142.92 O $147.21 $154.35 Suppose SolarHeat Co. is expected to pay a dividend of $3 per share over the next three years, that Eleanor's required rate of return is 16 percent, and that she plans to sell the stock at the end of the three-year time period. Under these circumstances, using the adjusted dividend discount model, the value of the stock today is: O $88.47 per share $98.30 per share $101.25 per share $105.18 per share
