Private solutions to correct for externalities Consider the following scenario: Suppose that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes released by its chickens. These wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become thick with algae and polluted by the minerals in the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization collects enough donations to fund a campaign to stop the farm's pollution. Which of the following types of private solutions to the externality of pollution has occurred in this case?A. Integration of different types of businessesB. ContractsC. Moral codes and social sanctionsD. Charities

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The activities of the chicken firm constitutes a negative externality to the environment

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. This is the solution employed here.

If elasticity of demand is 0.6, elasticity of supply is 0.6, and a 20% excise tax is levied on the good:________a. The fraction of the tax borne by consumers will be 0.5. b. The fraction of the tax borne by suppliers will be 0.6 c. The fraction of the tax borne by consumers will be 0.6. d. The fraction of the tax borne by suppliers will be 0.3.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option a. The fraction of the tax borne by consumers will be 0.5.

Explanation:

The tax burden is determined by the supply and demand price elasticity. Consumers bear the burden of the tax more than the suppliers when supply is more elastic than demand. When demand is more elastic than supply, the tax burden falls more on suppliers than consumers. When demand elasticity and supply elasticity are identical, the tax burden is shared equally by consumers and suppliers.

From the question, we have:

Elasticity of demand = Elasticity of supply = 0.6

Since demand elasticity and supply elasticity are identical, the burden of 20% excise tax is shared equally by consumers and suppliers. That 50% by 50%, or 0.5 by 0.5.

Therefore, the correct option a. The fraction of the tax borne by consumers will be 0.5.

The average cost per motor at this level of activity is: Direct materials $ 10.00 Direct labor $ 9.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.65 An outside supplier recently began producing a comparable motor that could be used in the sewing machine. The price offered to S Corporation for this motor is $25.45. If S Corporation decides not to make the motors, there would be no other use for the production facilities and none of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost could be avoided. Direct labor is a variable cost in this company.

Direct material                       41,000*10=410,000                  0

Direct labor                            41,000*9=369,000                   0

Variable manuf. overhead    41,000*3.70=151,700                0

Fixed manuf. overhead         41,000*4.65=190,650    41,000*4.65=190,650

Outside supplier's price                      0                        41,000*25.45=1,043,450

Total cost                                      $1,121,350                      $1,234,100

Financial advantage of making the motors = $1,234,100 - $1,121,350

Combining a protective put with a forward contract generates equivalent outcomes at expiration to those of a:

Answers

Answer:

Fiduciary call.

Explanation:

Foreign exchange market can be defined as type of market in which the currency of one country is converted into that of another country.

For example, the conversion of dollars of the United States of America can be converted into naira (Nigeria) at the foreign exchange market.

A covered interest arbitrage can be defined as trading strategy in which an investor minimizes his or her currency risk by using a forward contract to hedge against the interest rate difference between two countries i.e the exchange rate risk. Thus, it's considered to be the most common interest rate arbitrage around the world.

Generally, when a protective put is combined with a forward contract it would generate equivalent outcomes at expiration to those of a fiduciary call.

This ultimately implies that, a fiduciary call combines both a call option and a bond that's risk free and matures on the expiry date of an option.

Consider public policy aimed at smoking.

a. Studies indicate that the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes is about 0.4. If a pack of cigarettes currently costs $2 and the government wants to reduce smoking by 20 percent, by how much should it increase the price?
b. If the government permanently increases the price of cigarettes, will the policy have a larger effect on smoking one year from now or five years from now?
c. Studies also find that teenagers have a higher price elasticity of demand than do adults. Why might this be true?

Answers

Answer:

1. government shoud increase price by 50%. so it would be $3

2. larger effect 5 years from now

3. this is true due to their limited finance compared to adults

Explanation:

1. prices elasticity = % change in quantity demanded ÷ % change in price

price elasticity = 0.4

% change in dmd = 20%

% change in price = ?

[tex]0.4=\frac{0.20}{?}[/tex]

we cross multiply

? = 0.20/0.4

= 0.5

= 50%

so if the government wants to reduce smoking by 20%, it has to increase the price of cigarettes by half of its price= $2 + $1 = $3

2. goods usually have more elastic demand as time goes on. So if cigarette price is permanently raised, it would have a bigger effect five years from now. This is based on the fact that the people may not feel short run effect of the increase as they would in the long run. But gradually given this increase, people may start to gradually reduce their smoking.

3. The effect of the change in price would be more felt on the teenagers. this is due to the fact that they have limited financial strength compared to adults. Also they are new to smoking compared to the adults and are more likely to be less involved in the habit.

g A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income: Group of answer choices will be risk neutral will be risk averse will be risk loving

Answers

Answer: Risk averse

Explanation:

A person with a diminishing marginal utility of income will derive less utility from income as income increases. A risk averse person is one who would rather avoid risk but still prefers a high income.

Such a person will have a diminishing marginal utility in income because income increases more when there is more risk. A risk averse person does not want that risk and so will go for a lower income which means that they don't want more income as it is riskier to them.

True

Explanation:

This is true because the Federal Trade commission(FTC) analyze and investigate a seller or sellers who may be so cooperative as to make agreements that ensure large amounts of profit for them which is likely harmful and exploitative to consumers . FTC investigates business mergers which may be horizontal or vertical that are likely done for the purpose of increasing market share and fostering a sort of monopoly of the market. However, mergers and cooperation among businesses in the market do not always yield a monopoly and the FTC may be wrong(sometimes) to wave mergers that could increase the quality of goods or services in a market

Perit Industries has $135,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. The alternatives are:

                                                                       Project A           Project B

Cost of equipment required                         $ 135,000                $ 0

Working capital investment required                 $ 0               $ 135,000

Annual cash inflows                                       $ 25,000           $ 63,000

Salvage value of equipment in six years        $ 9,800                $ 0

Life of the project 6 years 6 years

The working capital needed for project B will be released at the end of six years for investment elsewhere. Perit Industries’ discount rate is 17%.

Required:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

1. Compute the net present value of Project A. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Cost of equipment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $25,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $89,729.62

The present value (PV) of the salvage value can be calculated as follows:

PV of salvage value = Salvage value / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $9,800 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $3,820.42

Net present value of Project A = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of salvage value - Cost of equipment required = $89,729.62 + $3,820.42 - $135,000 = -41,449.96

2. Compute the net present value of Project B. (Enter negative values with a minus sign. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Working capital investment required = $135,000

Using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, the present value (PV) of the annual cash inflows can be calculated as follows:

PV of annual cash inflow = Annual cash inflow * (1 - (1 / (1 + discount rate))^Project life) / discount rate) = $63,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.17))^6) / 0.17) = $226,118.64

The present value (PV) of the Working capital investment required can be calculated as follows:

PV of Working capital investment required = Working capital investment required / (1 + + discount rate)^Project life = $135,000 / (1 + 0.17)^6 = $52,628.21

Net present value of Project B = PV of annual cash inflow + PV of Working capital investment required - Working capital investment required = = $226,118.64 + $52,628.21 - $135,000 = $143,746.85

3. Which investment alternative (if either) would you recommend that the company accept?

From parts 1 and 2 above, we have:

Net present value of Project A = -41,449.96

Net present value of Project B = $143,746.85

Since the Net present value of Project A is negative, it should be rejected.

Since the Net present value of Project B is positive, it should be accepted.

Therefore, I would recommend that company accept Project B.

3              40,000            (177,771)

4               40,000            (137,771)

5                40,000           (97,771)

6                40,000          (57,771)

7                40,000           (17,771)

8                40,000           22,229

9               40,000              62,229

Now the payback period is

Xinhong Company is considering replacing one of its manufacturing machines. The machine has a book value of $45,000 and a remaining useful life of 5 years, at which time its salvage value will be zero. It has a current market value of $55,000. Variable manufacturing costs are $33,400 per year for this machine. Information on two alternative replacement machines follows.
Alternative A Alternative B
Cost $ 119,000 $ 112,000
Variable manufacturing costs per year 23,000 10,200
Calculate the total change in net income if Alternative A, B is adopted. Should Xinhong keep or replace its manufacturing machine? If the machine should be replaced, which alternative new machine should Xinhong purchase?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

For Alternative A

Cost to buy new machine -$119,000.00

Cash received $55,000.00

Reduction in variable manufacturing cost ($33400 - $23000) ×5 $52,000.00

Total change in net income -$12,000.00

For Alternative B  

Cost to buy new machine -$112,000.00

Cash received $55,000.00

Reduction in variable manufacturing cost ($33400 - $10200) × 5 $116,000.00

Total change in net income $59,000.00

So here Xinhong should purchase a machine that belong from Alternative B.

Do government statisticians calculate GDP by simply adding up the total sales of all business firms in one year? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, because the gross domestic product is determined by encompassing the final product. If the total sales are used to determine the GDP then the false value of GDP will come up because the problem of double counting will arise. Many firms sell their goods to other firms which is intermediate goods for the other firms.

McBride's Dairy has 200 gallons of heavy cream and 600 gallons of skimmed milk and has incurred $1,000 of joint costs at the split-off point. It can sell each product at the split-off point or process it further in relatively similar processes, so management has decided that the most appropriate method for allocating joint costs is the market value at split-off point. One gallon of cream sells for $15, while one gallon of milk sells for $4. How much of the joint cost is allocated to cream

Answers

Answer:

$560

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much of the joint cost is allocated to cream

Units Selling price Sales value Percentage of sales value Allocated cost

Cream (200*15=3,000) (3,000/5,400 = 56%)

(1,000 x 56% = $560)

Skimmed milk (600*4=2,400) (2,400/5,400 = 44%) (1,000 x 44% = $440)

Total $5,400 100% $1,000

($3,000+$2,400=$5,400)

(56%+44%=100%)

($560+$440=$1,00)

Therefore the joint cost allocated to CREAM is $560

When a shift in ________ occurs, rational expectations hold that its impact on output and employment will only be minimal.

Answers

Answer:

Aggregate demand occurs.

Explanation:

The aggregate demand curve of the AD curve will move to the right and components of the demand like consummation, government, and investment spending on the exports and imports will rise. Macroeconomics states that the curve is vertical over time and people should rationally accept this pattern.

Assume that consumers' incomes and the number of sellers in the market for good A (a normal good) both decrease. Based upon this information we can conclude, with certainty, that equilibrium:

Answers

Answer:

Quantity will Increase

Explanation:

As we know that when market is in equilibrium so the demand curve should be intersected the supply curve. At the time when there is an increase in suppliers so supply curve shift rightward due to which the consumer income would increase and this result in more demand. So the demand could be shift in rightward

So here the price should be the same but the quantity is increased

Decision tree probabilities are primarily used to a.find overlooked choices to the problem. b.analyze more complex problems and to identify an optimal sequence of decisions. c.analyze less complex problems while identifying the optimal sequence of decisions. d.None of these choices are correct.

Answers

Answer:

b.analyze more complex problems and to identify an optimal sequence of decisions.

Explanation:

The probabilities of the decision tree should be applied in order to have an analyse for more problems that are complex in nature also it helps in identifying the optimal sequence for the decisions

So as per the given scenario, the option b is correct

And, the remaining of the options seems wrong

b. Analyze more complex problems and to identify an optimal sequence of decisions.

It is advisable to use the decision tree's probability to analyze more complicated problems because they aid in determining the best order for making judgments.

Therefore, based on the scenario stated, option b is appropriate.

Additionally, the remaining solutions seem flawed.

If the government intervenes and corrects the externality in the situation described, we would expect Group of answer choices the demand for the output from the hydroelectric power plants to decrease. the demand for the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase the supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to decrease the supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase.

Answers

Answer: the supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase.

Explanation:

The hydroelectric power operators are incurring the cost of cleaning the river before they can use it. This cost is money that they could be investing in the business in order to produce more power.

If the government corrects the externality and limits the amount of waste being thrown into the river, the hydroelectric company would be able to invest the expenses it was incurring in clean up into generating more power which would lead to a higher supply of output from the power station.
