Explanation:
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
a. The chicken coop would be of advantage if the neighbours want to wake up early (positive externality) and a disadvrange if they want to wake up late (negative externality).
the neighbours accepting eggs for the inconvenience is an example of private solution to negative externality
B. If Jill is cured he doesnt infect others (positive externality) If the bacteria is resistant, others can become infected and sick (negative externality)

Explanation:
Portia owns and manages a sporting apparel company. Consider the given average cost (AC), average variable cost (AVC), and marginal cost (MC) curves for track suits. All but the MC curve have been placed incorrectly. Portia knows that the minimum average cost for a track suit is $7 and the minimum of average variable cost is $5.
Required:
Draw the AC and AVC curves so that they are consistent with the marginal cost curve.
Answer:
AVC curve will be below the AC curve
Explanation:
As we know,
[tex]AC = AFC + AVC[/tex]
This means that Average cost is the sum of average fixed cost and Average variable cost. Thus it can be shown that AC curve will be above the AVC curve.
Also we know that MC curve is upward sloping.
Thus, the MC curve will cut the AVC curve first and it will be to the right of the point where the MC curve cuts the AC curve.
So the curve must look like,
Before expiration, the time value of a call option is equal to Group of answer choices zero. the actual call price minus the intrinsic value of the call. the intrinsic value of the call. the actual call price plus the intrinsic value of the call.
Answer: the actual call price minus the intrinsic value of the call.
Explanation:
The actual price of a call is calculated as the sum of the intrinsic value of the call and the time value of the call option in the manner:
Price of call = Intrinsic value of call + Time value of call
The Time value of the call is therefore:
Change subject of below formula:
Price of call = Intrinsic value of call + Time value of call
Time value of call = Price of call - Intrinsic value of call
The real interest rate earned is the Group of answer choices same as the nominal interest rate when inflation is moderate cost of borrowing in current consumer prices cost of borrowing in current producer prices cost of borrowing adjust for the rate of change in the price level nominal interest rate adjusted for the growth rate of the economy
Answer:
cost of borrowing adjust for the rate of change in the price level
Explanation:
The real interest rate earned is the rate where the borrowing cost would be adjusted for the change in the rate in the level of the price as the real interest rate represent the interest rate that should be adjusted to the inflation
Hence, according to the given options, second option is correct
hence, the same would be relevant
AN IMPLIED CONTRACT CAN BEST BE DEFINED AS: WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED AS ENFORCEABLE BY THE COURTS A TRUE FORM OF A FORMAL CONTRACT THE INTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES ARE INFERRED FROM THEIR CONDUCT BY THE COURT AS WELL AS THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CONTRACT WHICH EXISTS IN THE EYES OF THE LAW, EVEN THOUGH THE PARTIES HAVE NOT IN ANY WAY INTENDED TO FORM THE CONTRACT
Answer: the intentions of the parties is inferred from their conduct by the court as well as the circumstances of the contract
Explanation:
An implied contract is referred to as an agreement that's legally-binding which was created due to the actions, or circumstances of the parties that were involved.
In an implied contract, the parties typically possess no written contract, but an obligation is created by the law based on the conduct of the parties involved.
Assume today is December 31, 2019. Imagine Works Inc. just paid a dividend of $1.25 per share at the end of 2019. The dividend is expected to grow at 15% per year for 3 years, after which time it is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% annually. The company's cost of equity (rs) is 9.5%. Using the dividend growth model (allowing for nonconstant growth), what should be the price of the company's stock today (December 31, 2019)
Answer:
Value of stock = $47.99
Explanation:
The price of a stock using the dividend valuation model is the present value of the the future dividend expected from the stock discounted at the required rate of return.
Year Present Value
1 1.25× 1.15^1 × 1.095^(-1) =1.31
2 1.25× 1.15^2 × 1.095^(-2) = 1.38
3. 1.25× 1.15^3 × 1.095^(-3)= 1.45
Present value of Dividend in Year 4 and beyond
This will be done in two steps
Step 1
PV in year 3 terms
= Dividend in year 4× (1.06)/(0.095-0.06)
1.25× 1.15^3 × 1.06/(0.095-0.06)=57.57
PV in year 0 terms =
PV in year 3 × 1.095^(-3)
=57.5759 × 1.095^(-3)= 43.852
Value of stock = 1.3 + 1.38 + 1.45 + 43.852= $47.99
Value of stock = $47.99
Private producers have no incentive to provide public goods because A. the government subsidy granted is usually insufficient to enable private producers to make a profit. B. production of huge quantities of public goods entails huge fixed costs.
Answer:
Private producers have no incentive to provide public goods because
B. production of huge quantities of public goods entails huge fixed costs.
Explanation:
There is rivalry in the production and consumption of private goods. This rivalry is generally described as competition. Most public goods are produced naturally or provided by the government to her citizens. Since they are made available for the welfare of the people, there is usually no cost recovery or exclusion of persons based on financial affordability. But private goods are manufactured and sold by private companies or individuals for a profit motive.
1. True or false. The first word of your answer has to be either true or false. If the first word of your answer is not true or false, you receive 0 points. If the statement is true you are finished answering. If your answer is false, briefly explain why it is false. a. "If leisure is a normal good, a rise in the wage rate must lead to an increase in the number of hours that an individual wishes to work." b. "A good is inferior only if quantity demanded falls as price falls." c. " If the income effect is greater than the substitution effect and leisure is an inferior good, the labor supply curve will be negatively sloped."
Answer:
a. FALSE, since leisure is a normal good, an increase in the wage rate will result in both substitution and income effect which will decrease the number of hours worked and increase the leisure hours.
b. TRUE
c. FALSE, if leisure is an inferior good, as rise in wages will result in more working hours and les leisure hours, meaning that the labor supply has a positive slope.
Harrington Corporation produces three products, A, B, and C. Pertinent information on these products is as follows: ProductSelling Price per UnitVariable Cost per UnitFixed Costper UnitDL Hoursper UnitA (Anchor bolts)$4.00 $1.00 $2.00 2 B (Bearings)$3.50 $0.50 $2.00 2 C (Castings)$6.00 $2.00 $3.00 3 There are 150 direct labor hours available. Machine-hour capacity allows 100 anchor bolts, only; 50 bearings, only; 40 casters, only; or any combination of the three that does not exceed the capacity. The direct labor hour constraint for Harrington's linear programming model is: ___________
Answer:
Labour hours constraint : 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150
Explanation:
Linear programming is a mathematical model that is used to solve a problem when a firm wants to maximize profit in the midst of multiple resource constraints.
The following steps should be followed:
Step 1: Define the variables
a= the units of product Anchor
b= the units of product Bearing
c= the units of product Casting
Step 2: Define the constraints:
The constraints represent the limitations which could be resource; in this case machine hours and direct labour hours. Since the constraint in focus is labour hours , so we only consider it.
Subject
Constraints: Labour hours : 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150
Non-negativity constraints a, b , c ≥ 0
Since the total available labour hours is 150 hours then the total consumption hours can either be equal to or less than 150, but can never be higher than 150.
The labour hours constraint is represented by 2a + 2b + 3c ≤ 150
Esquire Company needs to acquire a molding machine to be used in its manufacturing process. Two types of machines that would be appropriate are presently on the market. The company has determined the following
Machine A could be purchased for $69,000. It will last 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $2,200 per year. After 10 years the machine can be sold for $7,245.
Machine B could be purchased for $57,500. It also will last 10 years and will require maintenance costs of $8,800 in year three, $11,000 in year six, and $13,200 in year eight. After 10 years, the machine will have no salvage value.
Required:
Assume an interest rate of 8% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation and that maintenance costs are paid at the end of each year. Calculate the present value of Machine A & Machine B. Which machine Esquire should purchase?
Answer:
Esquire should purchase Machine B
Explanation:
Below is the calculation of the present values of Machine A & Machine B.
Machine A Period Amount Present Value Factor Present Value

Corey is the city sales manager for RIBS, a national fast food franchise. Every working day, Corey drives his car as follows: Home to office Office to RIBS No. 1 RIBS No. 1 to No. 2 RIBS No. 2 to No. 3 RIBS No. 3 to home Miles 20 15 18 13 30 Corey renders an adequate accounting to his employer. As a result, Corey's reimbursable mileage is: a. O miles. b. 50 miles. C. 66 miles. d. 76 miles. e. None of these.
Answer: e. None of these
Explanation:
Based on the information given, Corey's reimbursable mileage will be:
= 15 miles + 18 miles + 13 miles
= 46 miles.
We should note that the mileage that she used for driving from her home to office and the one that she also used from driving from the last worksite to her home isn't deductible.
Since the answer of 46 miles isn't among the options given, then the answer is "None of these"
Jane currently has $5,300 in her savings account and $2,000 in her checking account at the local bank. Instructions:
A. If Jane withdraws $500 in cash from her savings account, by what dollar amount will the country's money supply (M1 and M2) change as a result of Jane's actions?
B. Suppose that after Jane withdraws $500 from her checking account, she uses $180 of this money to pay her federal income tax. After paying her taxes, Jane uses $160 to buy a set of used golf clubs from her neighbor, who then deposits the money into his checking account. Jane deposits the remaining cash from the $500 withdrawal into her savings account. By what dollar amount will the country's money supply change as a result of Jane's actions?
Answer:
A
M1 change = $500M2 change = $0B
M1 change = -$340M2 change = -$180Explanation:
A. M1 includes actual liquid cash in hand as well as cash in checking deposits.
M2 includes M1 as well as savings deposits and time deposits amongst others.
M1 change = +$500
$500 went from the Savings account which was not part of M1 to M1.
M2 change = $0
The money went from Savings to Checking which are both part of M2.
B.
M1 change = -$-180 - ( 500 - 180 -160 ) = -$340
Tax of $180 went out of the supply as tax. Jane deposits the remaining cash after paying $160 for goods into the savings account which is not part of M1. That remaining cash is = 500 - 180 - 160 = $160.
M2 change = -500 + 160 + 160 = -$180
For M2, only taxes will reduce money from it because the rest goes to checking deposits and savings accounts both of which are part of M2
Langley Clinics, Inc., buys $400,000 in medical supplies each year (at gross prices) from its major supplier, Consolidated Supplies, which offers Langley terms of 2.5/10, net 45. Currently, Langley is paying the supplier the full amount due on day 45, but it is considering taking the discount, paying on day 10, and replacing the costly trade credit with a bank loan that has a 10 percent annual cost.
Required:
a. What is the amount of free trade credit that langley obtains from Consolidated Services?(assume 360 days per year throughout this problem)
b. What is the amount of costly trade credit?
c. What is the approximate annual cost of the costly trade credit?
d. Should Langley replace its trade credit with the bank loan? explain your answer.
e. If the bank loan is used, how much of the trade credit should be replaced?
Answer:
Explanation:
a. What is the amount of free trade credit that langley obtains from Consolidated Services?
Since there's a 2.5% discount, amount paid will be:
= $400000 - (2.5% × $400000)
= $400000 - $10000
= $390000
The amount of free trade credit that langley obtains from Consolidated Services since payment was made within 10 days will be:
= ($390000/360) × 10
= $1083 × 10
= $10833
b. What is the amount of costly trade credit?
Assuming Langley pays by day 45, the increase in its accounts payable will be:
= 45 x $1,083
= $48,735
Therefore, the amount of costly trade credit will be:
= Total trade credit – Free trade credit = $48,735 – $10,833
= $37,902
c. What is the approximate annual cost of the costly trade credit?
The percentage cost will be:
= 10000 / 37902
= 26.38%
d. Should Langley replace its trade credit with the bank loan?
Langley should replace the trade credit with a bank loan if it can get a bank loan that's can less than 26.38%, then the trade credit of $37902 should be replaced.
e. If the bank loan is used, how much of the trade credit should be replaced?
Only the trade credit of $37902 should be replaced.

Explanation:
Cabinaire Inc. is one of the largest manufacturers of office furniture in the United States. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, it assembles filing cabinets in an Assembly Department. Assume the following information for the Assembly Department:
Direct labor per filing cabinet 20 minutes
Supervisor salaries $117,000 per month
Depreciation $21,000 per month
Direct labor rate $15 per hour
Required:
Prepare a flexible budget for 12,000, 15,000, and 18,000 filing cabinets for the month of March
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Supervisor salaries $117,000 per month
Depreciation $21,000 per month
Direct labor rate $15 per hour
Cabinets per hour= 60/20= 3
We need to determine the flexible budget for different production levels:
12,000 units:
Total direct labor hours= (12,000 / 3)= 4,000 hours
Total variable cost= 4,000*15= 60,000
Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00
Total cost= $198,000
15,000 units:
Total direct labor hours= (15,000 / 3)= 5,000 hours
Total variable cost= 5,000*15= 75,000
Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00
Total cost= $213,000
18,000 units:
Total direct labor hours= (18,000 / 3)= 6,000 hours
Total variable cost= 6,000*15= 90,000
Total fixed costs= 21,000 + 117,000= 138,00
Total cost= $228,000

$7,000 of merchandise inventory was ordered on September 2, 2009 2. $3,000 of this merchandise was received on September 5, 2009 3. On September 6, 2009, an invoice dated September 4, 2009, with terms of 3/10, net 30 for $3,250 which included a $250 prepaid freight cost, was received. 4. On September 10, 2009, $800 of the merchandise was returned to the seller. Based on the above information, what would be recorded as net purchases amount after all of the transactions have been recorded
Answer:
the amount of the net purchase is $2,384
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the net purchase is shown below:
Net purchases is
= purchases - purchase Discount - purchase returns
= $3,250 - ($3,250 - $250 - $800) × 3% - $800
= $3,250 - $66 - $800
= $2,384
hence, the amount of the net purchase is $2,384
Basically the above formula would be used

An asset falling under the MACRS five-year class was purchased three years ago for $200,000 (its original depreciation basis). Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at a) $60,000 and b) $80,000. Assume the applicable tax rate is 40 percent.
Answer:
(a) The cash flows is $59,040.
(b) The cash flows is $71,040.
Explanation:
From the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) Tables, the depreciation rates for the first 3 years for an asset falling under the MACRS five-year class are 20%, 32% and 19.2%. Therefore, we have:
Accumulated depreciation rate = 20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%
Accumulated depreciation = Cost of the asset * Accumulated depreciation rate = $200,000 * 71.20% = $142,400
Net book value of the asset = Cost of the asset - Accumulated depreciation = $200,000 - $142,400 = $57,600
We can now proceed as follows:
(a) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $60,000
Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $60,000 - $57,600 = $2,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $2,400 * 40% = $960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $60,000 - $960 = $59,040
Therefore, the cash flows is $59,040 net sales proceeds.
(b) Calculate the cash flows if the asset is sold now at $80,000
Capital gains = Sales proceeds - Net book value = $80,000 - $57,600 = $22,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains * Tax rate = $22,400 * 40% = $8,960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax = $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040
Therefore, the cash flows is $71,040 net sales proceeds.
The cash flows is $59,040 and $71,040 when asset are sold at $60,000 and $80,000.
What is MACRS depreciation?MACRS stands for modified accelerated cost recovery system is the depreciation system in the U.S. where the cost of the asset is recovered in a specific period through deduction.
Given:
Asset=$200,000
The depreciation rate for 5 year asset are:20%, 32%, 19.2%, 11.52%, 11.52% and 5.76%
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years=20% + 32% + 19.2% = 71.20%
=asset cost X depreciation rate for 3 years
=$200,000 X 71.20% = $142,400
Net Book value=Asset Cost - Accumulated depreciation
=$200,000 - $142,400
= $57,600
(a)Cash flows if assets sold at $60,000
Capital gains = Sales - Net book value
=$60,000 - $57,600
= $2,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate
= $2,400 * 40% = $960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax
= $60,000 - $960 = $59,040
(b)Cash flows if assets sold at $80,000
Capital gains = Sales - Net book value
= $80,000 - $57,600
= $22,400
Capital gains tax = Capital gains X Tax rate
= $22,400 * 40% = $8,960
Net sales proceeds = Sales proceeds - Capital gains tax
= $80,000 - $8,960 = $71,040
Therefore the above calculation aptly gives the solution.

D. Anita decides to smoke a cigarette while she is waiting at a busy bus stop. Cigarettes create a externality. cigarettes are produced relative to the socially efficient quantity.
Answer:
A. Landscape lawns produce positive externality.
B. Sports vehicle generates a positive externality
C. Walk to work creates positive externality.
D. Cigarettes create a negative externality.
Explanation:
Positive externality occurs when society gets benefit from a persons act. Susan has created lawns near her house and there are beautiful flowers in the lawn. This will be relaxing for those who pass near by the lawns. There will be fresh air coming from the lawn and society will look pleasant.

You plan to visit Geneva, Switzerland in three months to attend an international business conference. You expect to incur the total cost of SF 5,000 for lodging, meals and transportation during your stay. As of today, the spot exchange rate is $0.60/SF and the three-month forward rate is $0.63/SF. You can buy the three-month call option on SF with the exercise rate of $0.64/SF for the premium of $0.05 per SF. Assume that your expected future spot exchange rate is the same as the forward rate. The three-month interest rate is 6 percent per annum in the United States and 4 percent per annum in Switzerland.
Required:
a. Calculate your expected dollar cost of buying $F5,000 if you choose to hedge by a call option on SF.
b. Calculate the future dollar cost of meeting this SF obligation if you decide to hedge using a forward contract.
c. At what future spot exchange rate will you be indifferent between the forward and option market hedges?
d. Illustrate the future dollar cost of meeting the SF payable against the future spot exchange rate under both the options and forward market hedges.
Answer:
A. 3403.75 dollars
B. 3150
C. 0.579
D. Is an attachment
Explanation:
A. We first find the premium cost
= 0.05x5000 x 1+0.06/4
= 250x1.015
= 253.75
From here we find expected dollar cost
= Exchange rate x units + premium
= 0.63x5000+253.75
= 3,403.75 dollars
B. Forward rate = 0.63
Total cost of dollar
= 0.63x5000
= 3150
C. The investor would be indifferent at 0.579
Forward rate = unit * future + premium
3150 = 5000 * future + 253.75
3150-253.75 = 5000*future
We solve and divide through by 5000
Future = 0.579
D is in the attachment
The expected dollar cost of buying $F5,000 through the call option is $3403.75.
The first thing to do is to calculate the premium cost. This will be:
= (5% × 5000) × (1 + 6%/4)
= (0.05 × 5000) × (1 + 0.06/4)
= 250 × 1.015
= 253.75
The expected dollar cost will be:
= Exchange rate × Number of units + Call premium cost
= 0.63 × 5000 + 253.75
= 3403.75
The future dollar cost of meeting this SF obligation will be calculated thus:
= Forward rate × Number of units
= 0.63 × 5000
= $3150
The future spot exchange rate that the person will be indifferent will be:
= (3150 - 253.75) / 5000
= $0.579

Newspaper ad space 60% 30% 10%
Sales $250,000 $200,000 $50,000
The costs allocated to each department can now be calculated as follows:
a. Allocating cost using direct advertising costs
The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:
Cost allocated to a department = (Direct advertising costs of the department / Sum of direct advertising costs of the 3 departments) * Indirect advertising costs ................... (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = ($30,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $60,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = ($24,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $48,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = ($6,000 / ($30,000 + $24,000 +$6,000)) * $120,000 = $12,000
b. Allocating cost using Newspaper ad space
The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:
Cost allocated to a department = Percentage of Newspaper ad space of the department * Indirect advertising costs ................... (2)
Using equation (2), we have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = 60% * $120,000 = $72,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = 30% * $120,000 = $36,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = 10% * $120,000 = $12,000
c. Allocating cost using Sales
The indirect advertising costs can be allocated using the following formula:
Cost allocated to a department = (Sales of the department / Sum of Sales of the 3 departments) * Indirect advertising costs ................... (3)
Using equation (3), we have:
Cost allocated to New Cars = ($250,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 = $60,000
Cost allocated to Used Cars = ($200,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 * $120,000 = $48,000
Cost allocated to Parts and Service = ($50,000 / ($250,000 + $200,000 + $50,000)) * $120,000 * $120,000 = $12,000

This outcome is an example of the
Answer:
free rider problem
Explanation:
The air pollution constitutes a negative externality
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Free rider is when some people benefit from the solution proffered but do not pay to enjoy these benefits
