Consider the case of a good with external benefits. If you plant trees in front of your house, the neighborhood is more attractive, and trees create shade, provide oxygen, and a home for birds and squirrels. Thus, the benefits to society are greater than the benefits to you. If the planting of trees is a private choice, you will plant too few trees relative to the socially optimal quantity, because the private value to you is less than the social value.
1. Which of the following would not help to correct this problem?
a. Subsidize consumer purchases of trees to plant.
b. Tax homeowners who plant trees.
c. Subsidize nurseries that sell trees for planting.
d. Have the government provide trees to homeowners.
e. All of the above would help to correct the problem.
2. If the government pays for a program to increase the planting of trees, who will win and lose from the program?
Answer:
1. b. Tax homeowners who plant trees.
2. Win - society and consumer
Loose - tax payers and producers.
Explanation:
1. a). If the good creates a positive externalities, then the [tex]\text{private benefits from the good are less than the social benefits}[/tex] from the good.
In the context, the following would not help to correct the problem :
Taxing the homeowners who plant the trees.
If the government taxes or takes some money form the people or the house owners who plant trees in their neighborhood will discourage the people to plant the trees and would not help in correcting the problem.
2. If the government pays for the program that helps to increase the planting the trees, then,
the one who will win from this program is : society and the consumers
the one who will loose : tax payers and the producers as the government would impose more tax in order to fuel the project.

how van an oligopoly cause market failure (8)
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached we can say the following.
An oligopoly can cause market failure because companies that form the oligopoly do not allow other companies to enter and compete in the market. This action limits consumers to choose from a variety of options, including quality, the best price, and service.
Often, oligopoly associates the strongest or more powerful companies in order to wipe out other minor competitors. They want to establish a dominant presence that affects prices and consumers participation.
Oligopoly practices result in inefficiency and instability in the market. That is why oligopolies are not good for the economy.
The automobile industry is mostly associated with an oligopoly.
When a market is controlled by just a few numbers of companies, but none of them is above the others, we are talking about an oligopoly. They can collude intentionally or not, to establish prizes and to not let other companies compete with them.
According to the growth accounting studies, if you lived in a country where illiteracy was high and 40% of the children left school early and did not complete their education what would probably be the results for that country?
a. Average income in the country will see significant increases.
b. There would be both a human and economic loss.
c. The economic status of the country would continue to rise.
d. More technological breakthroughs would happen in this country.
Answer:
b. There would be both a human and economic loss.
Explanation:
In the case when the illiteracy was more and 40% of the children left the school so early that they didnt complete their education so here the result should be that there should be 2 losses i.e. human and economic loss as the children does not have any kind of knowledge so they would not get the job so easily
Therefore the option b is correct
A stock has a market price of $25 and a standard deviation of returns of 24 percent. The $25 call option matures in 4 months and the risk-free rate is 2.89 percent. N(d1) is .555198 and N(d2) is .500096. What is the value of the call option per share of stock
Answer:
$334.38
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the value of call option
Value of call option = ( N ( [tex]d_{1}[/tex] ) S ) - N ( [tex]d_{2}[/tex] ) K [tex]e^{rt}[/tex]
Where
S = $25
N(d1) = 0.555198
N(d2) = 0.500096
K = 25
r = 2.89%
t = 4/12 = 0.3333
Placing values in the formula
Value of call option = ((0.555198 x $25 ) x $25) - ( 0.500096 x $25 ) x 1.00967891
Value of call option = $346.99875 - $12.62340
Value of call option = $334.37535
Value of call option = $334.38
Emily and Betsey are economists. Emily thinks that the wealthiest 10 percent of the U.S. population should be taxed a rate higher than the rest of society because they can better afford it. Betsey thinks that everyone should be taxed at the same rate because that is the fairest scenario and the wealthy should not be penalized for their success. In this example, Emily and Betsey:______
Answer: b. have different normative views about tax policy.
Explanation:
Economists follow different theories and principles on how the world should be so most times they will disagree with each other on key issues such as taxation and government intervention in markets.
Emily and Betsy both believe in different taxation policies which means that they have different views on how people should be taxed in an economy with one of them believing in a proportional tax regime (Betsey) and the other believing in a progressive tax regime (Emily).

If the investment bank guarantees the sale of the securities, the issue is___________ . The investment bank must pay the issuing firm within ________days of the official start of the offering. If more than one stock offering investment bank is involved in the IPO, the deal is referred to as ___________stock offering.
After the SEC approves the registration statement for the IPO, the biggest responsibility for the issuing company and the investment bank becomes ensuring that the determined number of securities is sold and the firm is able to raise the intended amount. The IPO team-including the investment bankers, senior management team, lawyers, and investor relations team-conducts various activities. Which of the following statements are true about the activities involved in the IPO process?
a. The investment banker estimates the potential demand for the securities by recording the number of shares that each investor is willing to buy. This is called book-building.
b. The IPO team goes on a roadshow, making presentations to institutional investors selected by the underwriter.
c. If investors are willing to purchase more shares than are available, the IPO is considered to be oversubscribed.
d. During the roadshow, the IPO team can divulge additional information to institutional investors that is not given in the registration statement to lure the institutional investors.
Answer:
a. If the investment bank guarantees the sale of the securities, the issue is underwritten. The investment bank must pay the issuing firm within 4 days of the official start of the offering. If more than one stock offering investment bank is involved in the IPO, the deal is referred to as underwriter syndicate stock offering.
b. True Statements.
a. The investment banker estimates the potential demand for the securities by recording the number of shares that each investor is willing to buy. This is called book-building.
b. The IPO team goes on a roadshow, making presentations to institutional investors selected by the underwriter.
c. If investors are willing to purchase more shares than are available, the IPO is considered to be oversubscribed.
Book building is a process that allows investment banks to estimate the potential demand for the shares by finding out the number of shares that investors are willing to buy.
They do this after going on a roadshow where they essentially advertise the IPO to institutional investors. If these investors are willing to buy more shares that is available, they are oversubscribing.

Globe Manufacturing Company has just obtained a request for a special order of 12,000 units to be shipped at the end of the current year at a discount price of $7.00 each. The company has a production capacity of 90,000 units per year. At present, Globe is only selling 80,000 units per year through regular channels at a selling price of $11.00 each. Globe's per unit costs at an 80,000 unit level of production and sales are as follows:
Variable manufacturing expenses $4.60
Fixed manufacturing expenses $1.80
Variable selling and administrative expenses $1.00
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $0.45
Variable selling and administrative expense will drop to $0.30 per unit on the special order units. The special order has to be taken in its entirety. This means that by accepting the special order, Globe will be forced to not sell 2,000 units to its regular customers.
Required:
If Globe accepts this special order, by what amount will its net operating income increase or decrease?
Answer:
Globe Manufacturing Company
f Globe accepts this special order, its net operating income will decrease by:
= $19,300.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Special order units = 12,000
Special order price = $7.00 each
Annual Production Capacity = 90,000 units
Annual Sales Units = 80,000
Normal selling price = $11
Per unit costs at 80,000 units level:
Variable manufacturing expenses $4.60
Fixed manufacturing expenses $1.80
Variable selling and administrative expenses $1.00
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $0.45
Variable manufacturing expenses $4.60 * 12,000 = $55,200
Fixed manufacturing expenses $1.80 * 10,000 = $18,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses $0.30 * 12,000 = $3,600
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $0.45 * 10,000 = $4,500
Lost revenue from non-sale of 2,000 at $11 = $22,000
Total costs of special order = $103,300
Sales revenue from special order = $84,000 ($7 * 12,000)
The net operating income will decrease by $19,300 ($103,300 - $84,000)

4. 540,000 78,557 ___ 8
5. 230,000 _____________ 10% 4
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
For point 1:
[tex]Annuity\ Amount= \$2,600\\\\i=8\%\\\\n=5\\\\Present\ Value=?[/tex]
Our table shows that the factor is equal at 3.99271 for 8 percent and 5 periods. In addition to this, the present value is $10,381 dollars in the annuity.
For point 2:
[tex]Present \ Value=507,866\\\\ Annuity \ Amount= 135,000\\\\ i =?\\\\n =4[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]507,866 = 135,000 \times PVOA \ Factor\\\\\frac{507,866}{135,000} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\3.76197 = PVOA\ Factor[/tex]
When looking at our n=4 row table, we notice that perhaps the factor of PVOA is equal to 3,56197 whenever the rate is equal to 2,5%.
For point 3:
[tex]Present\ Value=661,241\\\\ Annuity\ Amount= 170,000\\\\ i = 9\% \\\\n =?[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]661,241 = 170,000 \times PVOA\ Factor \\\\\frac{661,241}{170,000} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\3.88965 = PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
If you really are looking at our table in column i = 9%, we found PVOA is 3.88965 if n is 5.
For point 4:
[tex]Present\ Value= 540,000 \\\\Annuity \ Amount=78,557\\\\ i = ?\\\\n =8[/tex]
[tex]\text{Present Value of Ordinary Annuity = Annuity Amount} \times PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
[tex]540,000 = 78,557 \times PVOA\ Factor\\\\\frac{540,000}{78,557} = PVOA \ Factor\\\\6.873989 = PVOA \ Factor[/tex]
If you verify our table for n = 8 lines, the PVOA factor is approximately 6.87399 when the rate of interest is 3.5 percent.
For point 5:
[tex]Present\ Value=230,000\\\\ Annuity\ Amount=?\\\\ i =10\%\\\\ n =4[/tex]
The PVOA factor is 3.16997 when we search our table with i = 10% and n = 4.
[tex]230,000 = Annuity \ Amount \times 3.16987\\\\\frac{230,000}{3.16987} = Annuity\ Amount\\\\72,558 = Annuity\ Amount\\\\annuity\ total= \$72,558.[/tex]
You took ACC111 where the Owner's Equity section consisted of Capital and Owner's Withdrawals. Now that you've seen the corporate structure of the Owner's Equity section, how do the individual items in the Sole Proprietor's Equity section translate to the Corporate Equity section? For example, Revenues are closed out into Capital for Sole Proprietor, Where does it go for Corporate?
Answer:
Revenues are closed out to Equity (Retained Earnings) for Corporate.
Explanation:
Actually, for both Sole Proprietor and Corporate, the account that is closed out to Capital or Equity is the difference between the Revenue and the Expenses for the accounting period. This is more specifically referred to as Net Income. This is the bottom-line profit, which is available for distribution to the owners of the entity in the form of capital withdrawals for Sole Proprietorships and dividends for Corporate entities.
The largest item of the Deferred Tax Liability for most companies is caused by:________.
a. providing the allowance for doubtful accounts for book purposes.
b. differences in inventory cost flow assumptions (FIFO vs. LIFO) for tax versus financial accounting purposes.
c. differences in depreciation methods (accelerated vs. straight-line) for tax versus financial accounting purposes.
d. amortizing bond premium or discount for tax purposes.
Answer: c. differences in depreciation methods (accelerated vs. straight-line) for tax versus financial accounting purposes.
Explanation:
A Deferred tax liability arises as a result of the tax authorities using a different accounting convention from the business. This leads to a situation where the company records more tax than the tax authorities do so the company will recognize the extra tax as a liability until it is paid.
The main cause of this is the difference in depreciation methods. The tax authorities use an accelerated method which would lead to a lower profit in early years which would translate to a lower tax. The company on the other hand would use straight line depreciation and calculate a higher tax. The difference is called the deferred tax liability.

The Real Option Inc. is considering a new project. It believes that each year it would be able to sell 15 units at a $300,000 per-unit after-tax profit (i.e., per-unit operating cash flow) for the next five years. A $14.8 million initial investment will be required at the beginning of the project. The appropriate discount rate is 16 percent.
Required:
Calculate the base-case NPV of this project.
Answer:
NPV = $10.708 million
Explanation:
The base case NPV is that calculated by discounting the after-tax cash flow by the cost of equity based on asset beta. The base-case NPV does not consider the financing effect of the any particular finance source used to fund the project.
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial outlay
After-tax cash flow = 300,000×15= 4.5 million
PV of cash inflow = cash inflow × A × (1- (1+r)^(-n)/r
4.5 ×( 1- (1.16^-5)/0.16= 25.508 million
NPV = PV of cash inflow - Initial outlay
NPV = 25.508 million - 14.8 million
NPV = $10.708 million
Biden Resorts Company currently has 0.2 million common shares of stock outstanding and the stock has a beta of 2.2. It also has $1 million face value of bonds that have five years remaining to maturity and 8 percent coupon with semi-annual payments, and are priced to yield 13.65 percent. If Biden issues up to $2.5 million of new bonds, the bonds will be priced at par and have a yield of 13.65 percent; if it issues bonds beyond $2.5 million, the expected yield on the entire issuance will be 16 percent. Biden has learned that it can issue new common stock at $10 a share. The current
risk-free rate of interest is 3 percent and the expected market return is 10 percent. Biden's marginal tax rate is 30 percent. If Biden raises $7.5 million of new capital while maintaining the same debtto-equity ratio, its weighted average cost of capital is?
Answer:
Hence, the weighted average cost of capital is 15.87%.
Explanation:
We have to find current weights,
Value of equity = Shares x Share price = 0.2 x 10 = $2 million
Face Value of Bonds FV = $1 million
Semi annual coupon P = 1 x 8% / 2 = $0.04 million
Number of coupons remaining n = 5 x 2 = 10
Semi annual yield r = 13.65% / 2 = 6.825%
Value of Debt = Px [1 - (1 + r)-n] / r + FV / (1 + r)n
= 0.04 x [1 - (1 + 0.06825)-10] / 0.06825 + 1 / (1 + 0.06825)10
= $0.8 million
Total Value = 2 + 0.8 = $2.8 million
Weight of Debt = 0.8 / 2.8 = 28.57%
Weight of Equity = 2 / 2.8 = 71.45%
Amount of Debt to be raised = Weight of debt x Capital
= 0.2857 x 7.5
= $2.14 million
Since the amount of debt to be raised is less than $2.5 million, the yield will be 13.65%
Cost of Equity = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Market Return - Risk Free Rate)
= 3% + 2.2 x (10 - 3)
= 18.4%
The weighted average cost of capital:-
WACC = Weight of Debt x Cost of Debt x (1 -Tax Rate) + Weight of Equity x Cost of Equity
= 0.2857 x 13.65% x (1 - 0.3) + 0.7145 x 18.4%
= 15.87%

WatchNU is a company that designs and manufacturers drones for military use. The supply manager is getting ready to renegotiate the contract with the security service provider that it uses for its offices and manufacturing plant. Three suppliers responded to the RFP for security services for the next three years. The current security services provider, SecureIT quoted $945,000 per year. Two suppliers that have not been used by WatchNU in the past quoted $1,048,000 and $1,056,000 respectively. The supply manager is also analyzing the costs associated with insourcing security services rather than using a supplier as a way to reduce costs and provide greater control over security. The salary and benefits for a full-time security services manager is estimated to be $99,000. Other fixed costs are estimated to be $29,000/year. Three security guards are needed 24 hours/day, 365 days per year. The salary and benefits for the security guards is $34/hour.
Required:
What are the costs to insource the security services?
Answer:
Variable Cost $893,520
Fixed Cost $128,000
Total Cost $1,021,520
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the costs to insource the security services
VARIABLE COST
Using this formula
Variable cost =Total Quantity of Output x Variable Cost Per Unit
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost =3* ($34/hour x 24 hours/day x 365 days per year)
Variable cost = $893,520
FIXED COST
Using this formula
Fixed cost=Salary and Benefits for a full time security service manager+Other Fixed Costs
Let plug in the formula
Fixed cost=($99,000) + ($29,000)
Fixed cost= $128,000
TOTAL COST
Using this formula
Total Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
Let plug in the formula
Total Cost=($893,520) + ($128,000)
Total Cost= $1,021,520
Therefore the costs to insource the security services will be:
Variable Cost $893,520
Fixed Cost $128,000
Total Cost $1,021,520
