Answer:
d
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.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.
When an economic action has a spillover cost to a bystander, this is referred to as a negative externality.
What are positive and negative externalities?Positive Externalities:
If the advantages to third parties who are not involved in the production process exceed the cost, the good has positive externality.
Research and development is an example of a positive externality-generating activity. They are frequently under-produced due to the high expense of R & D.
Subsidies can be used by the government to support the production of activities that create positive externality.
Negative Externalities:
If the costs to non-production parties are larger than the benefits, a good has negative externality.
Pollution is an example of a negative externality-producing activity. Because pollution may be created for little or no cost, it is frequently overproduced.
Taxation can be used by the government to discourage the production of activities that cause negative externalities.
Negative externalities like as air and noise pollution are frequently mentioned. Therefore, option (d) is true regarding the externalities.

At the age of 68, Donna elected a straight life income option for the payout of her $150,000 deferred annuity She received monthly payments for 3 years totaling $42,000 and then she died. How much will her beneficiary get?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Given that
The payout is $150,000 for deferred annuity
Monthly payment for 3 years i.e. $42,000 and after this she died
So, here the beneficiary should get zero amount as in the case of the straight life income options, the annuitant should received the payment only when they died the payment should stop so beneficiary should not be eligible for any kind of payment received
Therefore zero amount should be considered
Allo Foundation, a tax-exempt organization, invested $200,000 in cost-saving equipment. The equipment has a five-year useful life with no salvage value. Allo estimates that the annual cash savings from this project will amount to $65,000. On investments of this type, Allo's required rate of return is 12%.The net present value of the project is closest to
Answer:
$34,310.45
Explanation:
Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.
When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-200,000
Cash flow in year 1 - 5 = 65,000
I = 12%
NPV = $34,310.45
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
An asset is purchased for $20,000. It has an estimated residual value of $5,000 and an estimated useful life of ten years. After three years of use, the estimated residual value is revised to $4,000. Assuming straight-line depreciation, depreciation expense in year four of use would be
$2,875
Formula (Cost – Residual Value) / Estimated Life = Annual Depreciation
Depreciation for the first three years = [($20,000 - $5,000) ÷ 10] × 3 = $4,500
Book value at the end of the fourth year = $20,000 - $4,500 = $15,500
Depreciation expense the third year = ($15,500 - $4,000) / 4 = $2,875 per yr.
Fred is working on a new storage system for his organization. He needs it to provide storage for the entire private cloud in the data center. Which of the following is he most likely to deploy?
a. SAN
b. NAS
c. NSA
d. DAS
Answer:
a. SAN
Explanation:
Cloud computing can be defined as a type of computing that requires shared computing resources such as cloud storage (data storage), servers, computer power, and software over the internet rather than local servers and hard drives.
Generally, cloud computing offers individuals and businesses a fast, effective and efficient way of providing services.
iSCSI is simply an acronym for Internet Small Computer Systems Interface and it is typically an internet protocol (IP) with respect to a storage area network (SAN) standard used essentially for connecting data storage facilities over a transmission control protocol and internet protocol (TCP/IP).
A storage area network (SAN) can be defined as a high-speed computer network that is specially designed to avail end users the ability to access consolidated, block-level data storage. Thus, storage area network (SAN) typically connects network servers to data storage.
Hence, Fred is most likely to deploy a storage area network (SAN) in this scenario, to provide storage for the entire private cloud in the data center.
MC Qu. 135 Front Company had net income of... Front Company had net income of $86,500 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 2,200 units and 4,000 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $8.60 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing
Answer:
Net income under absorption costing = $101980
Explanation:
Below is the following calculation:
Net income based on variable costing = $86500
Rise in inventory = (4000 - 2200) x 8.60 = $15480
Now find the net income under absorption costing by adding the rise in inventory in the net income based on variable costing.
Net income under absorption costing = $86500 + $15480
Net income under absorption costing = $101980

Both UTech Inc. and Mirco Corp. incur a cost of $200 to manufacture a single unit of a cell phone. However, UTech Inc. charges a higher price than Mirco Corp. does, but it still sells a higher number of phones. What does this imply
Answer: UTech Inc. creates more economic value than Micro Corp. does.
Explanation:
Economic value refers to the measure of the benefit that an economic agent such as an individual, firm or government gets when a good or service is consumed.
In this case, since consumers derive more economic value from the good, even though it's costlier, they'll be willing to pay a higher price.
Therefore, UTech Inc. creates more economic value than Micro Corp. does.
If the reserve ratio increased from 10 percent to 20 percent, the money multiplier would a. rise from 10 to 20. b. rise from 5 to 10. c. fall from 10 to 5. d. not change.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that is required of commercial banks to keep as reserves. The lower the ratio, the higher the increase in money supply
Money multiplier = 1 / reserve requirement
Money multiplier when reserve ratio is 10% = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%
Money multiplier when reserve ratio is 20% =1/20 = 0.05 = 5%
there is a decrease of money multiplier from 5% to 10% when reserve ratio is increased from 10 percent to 20 percent
Carpenter Inc. had a balance of $88,000 in its quality-assurance warranty liability account as of December 31, 2020. In 2021, Carpenter's warranty expenditures paid were $453,000. Its warranty expense is calculated as 1% of sales. Sales in 2021 were $40.8 million. What was the balance in the warranty liability account as of December 31, 2021
Answer:
$43,000
Explanation:
Warranty expense for 2021 = $40.8 millions * 1%
Warranty expense for 2021 = $408,000
Balance in Liability on 31 Dec = Warranty Liability on 1 Jan + Warranty Expenses - Warranty Expense paid
Balance in Liability on 31 Dec = $88,000 + $408,000 - $453,000
Balance in Liability on 31 Dec = $43,000
So, the balance in the warranty liability account as of December 31, 2021 is $43,000.

thế nào là lọi ích so sánh
Answer:
Lợi thế so sánh hay Ưu thế so sánh là một nguyên tắc trong kinh tế học phát biểu rằng mỗi quốc gia sẽ được lợi khi nó chuyên môn hóa sản xuất và xuất khẩu những hàng hóa mà mình có thể sản xuất với chi phí tương đối thấp (hay tương đối có hiệu quả hơn các nước khác); ngược lại, mỗi quốc gia sẽ được lợi nếu nó nhập khẩu những hàng hóa mà mình có thể sản xuất với chi phí tương đối cao (hay tương đối không hiệu quả bằng các nước khác). Nguyên tắc lợi thế so sánh cho rằng một nước có thể thu được lợi từ thương mại bất kể nó tuyệt đối có hiệu quả hơn hay tuyệt đối không hiệu quả bằng các nước khác trong việc sản xuất mọi hàng hóa. Nguyên tắc lợi thế so sánh là khái niệm trọng yếu trong nghiên cứu thương mại quốc tế. Nhà kinh tế học được giải thưởng Nobel năm 1970 Paul Samuelson đã viết: "Mặc dù có những hạn chế, lý thuyết lợi thế so sánh vẫn là một trong những chân lý sâu sắc nhất của mọi môn kinh tế học. Các quốc gia không quan tâm đến lợi thế so sánh đều phải trả một cái giá rất đắt bằng mức sống và tăng trưởng kinh tế của chính mình."

Costs that vary in total in direct proportion to changes in an activity level are called: Group of answer choices fixed costs sunk costs variable costs differential costs
Answer:
variable costs
Explanation:
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments
If production is zero or if production is a million, Mortgage payments do not change - it remains the same no matter the level of output.
Hourly wage costs and payments for production inputs are variable costs
Variable costs are costs that vary with production
If a producer decides not to produce any output, there would be no need to hire labour and thus no need to pay hourly wages.

What will most likely occur if a company eliminates an unprofitable segment when a portion of fixed costs are unavoidable?
a. All expenses of the eliminated segment will be eliminated.
b. Net income will decrease.
c. Net income will increase.
d. The company's variable costs will increase.
Answer: b. Net income will decrease.
Explanation:
The unavoidable fixed costs were being covered by the unprofitable segment so if the segment is removed, the unavoidable fixed cost will have to be deducted from the profits of the other segment/s.
When this happens their profit will decrease because those segments will now be covering more fixed costs than before. This is why it is usually better to keep an unprofitable segment going if it incurs unavoidable fixed costs.
