Corporate finance is capital structuring and investment decisions made by the finance management of an organisation

Explanation:

“Corporate finance is the division of finance that deals with financing, capital structuring, and investment decisions. Corporate finance is primarily concerned with maximizing shareholder value through long and short-term financial planning and the implementation of various strategies. Corporate finance activities range from capital investment decisions to investment banking’’ (Kenton, 2019).

Capital structure is how capital is formed, it includes loans (liabilities) or equity (selling shares).  

Investment decisions are what the company decides to do with the capital, whether investing in more capital or being a lender or paying more dividends to shareholders.  

An investment is measured by the return it brings and the risks involved with it.

Return on investment = (net profit / cost of investment) * 100

For example,                 = (30 000 / 150 000) * 100

                                       = 20%

Types of investments include :

Buying Shares

Purchasing Property

Keeping Cash

Fixed deposit interest

Buying Bonds

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
