In any competitive market, an equal increase in both demand and supply can be expected to always:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Choice 'a' is correct. 7.0 percent cost of funds from retained earnings.

The cost of retained earnings is equal to the rate of return required by the firm's common shareholders (or, in effect, the return 'lost' by them when the firm chooses to fund with retained earnings). While oftentimes this rate is somewhat subjective, we are given the facts to exactly answer the question in this case. The stock is currently selling for $100/share, and the dividend is given at $7/share.

$7 / $100 = 7%

Choices 'b', 'c', and 'd' are incorrect, per the above Explanation:/calculation.

Wait, wait, wait... If both demand and supply rise, won't the market-clearing quantity increase too? I'm going with B.

Okay, let's see... If both demand and supply go up, the price should increase, right? Gotta be C!

I think you're right, an increase in both demand and supply should lead to an increase in price.

I agree with Reynalda, because when both demand and supply increase equally, it creates a balance that leads to an increase in both price and market-clearing quantity.
