The use of chlorofluorocarbons in refrigerators and air conditioners is alleged to cause the destruction of the ozone layer that surrounds the earth and which protects humans from ultraviolet radiation. Output of this substance has been restricted by a licensing system where producers have to bid in the open market for licenses to produce them in specified quantities. This is an example of dealing with externalities by
Answer:
Market mechanism.
Explanation:
Pollution can be defined as the physical degradation or contamination of the environment through an emission of harmful, poisonous and toxic chemical substances.
A positive externality arises when the production or consumption of a finished product or service has a significant impact or benefits to a third party that isn't directly involved in the transaction.
On the other hand, a negative externality arises when the production or consumption of a finished product or service has negative impact (cost) on a third party.
In this scenario, this is an example of dealing with externalities by market mechanism because the producers have to bid in the open market for licenses to produce these substances in specified quantities
Assume a company is going to make an investment of $465,000 in a machine and the following are the cash flows that two different products would bring in years one through four. Option A, Product A Option B, Product B $190,000 $150,000 195,000 175,000 65,000 65,000 25,000 85,000 A. Calculate the payback period of each product. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Option A, Product A fill in the blank 1 3.4 years Option B, Product B fill in the blank 2 3.8 years B. Which of the two options would you choose based on the payback method
Answer:
3.6 years
3.88 years
Option A would be chosen because it has a lower payback period than option B
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period for option A, Product A
Amount invested = $-465,000
Amount recovered in year 1 = $-465,000 + $190,000 = $-275,000
Amount recovered in year 2 = $-275,000 + $195,000 = $-80,000
Amount recovered in year 3 = $-80,000 + $65,000 = $-15,000
Amount recovered in year 1 = $-15,000 + $25,000 = $10,000
Payback period = 3 years + (15,000) / (25,000) = 3.6 years
Payback period for option b, Product b
Amount invested = $-465,000
Amount recovered in year 1 = $-465,000 + $150,000 = $-315,000
Amount recovered in year 1 = $-315,000 + 175,000 = $-140,000
Amount recovered in year 1 = $-140,000 + 65,000 = $-75,000
Amount recovered in year 1 = $-75,000 + $85,000 = $10,000
Payback period = 3 years + (75,000 / 85,000) = 3.88 years
Option A would be chosen because it has a lower payback period than option B
Suppose an industry receives protection from the government in the form of tariffs. A number of years later, it is observed that the quantity supplied by domestic firms had decreased and that the domestic price was substantially greater than the world price. We could conclude that A. the tariff had been imposed to protect an infant industry and that the industry still needed protection. B. the tariff had been imposed to counteract dumping and had been successful. C. removal of the tariff would cause domestic output to fall even further and the price to fall to consumers. D. removal of the tariff would actually cause domestic output to increase and price to fall.
Answer: D. removal of the tariff would actually cause domestic output to increase and price to fall.
Explanation:
The tariff led to a situation where the industry being protected became inefficient because it did not have enough competition. This is why they are producing less quantities and at higher prices.
If the tariff was to be removed, the industry would get fresh competition from outside the country. This would force them to become more efficient and the would start producing more goods. Prices would also drop on account of the increased supply from both domestic and foreign companies.
The daily output at a plant manufacturing desks is approximated by the function f(L,K)=30K7/10L4/5 desks where L is the size of the labor force measured in hundreds of worker-hours and K is the daily capital investment in thousands of dollars. If the plant manager has a daily budget of $14,000 and the average wage of an employee is $11.50 per hour, what combination of worker-hours (to the nearest hundred) and capital expenditures (to the nearest thousand) will yield maximum daily production?
Answer: Hello your function is poorly written below is the properly written function f( L,K ) = 30K^(7/10) L^(4/5)
answer : K = $7000 , L = 600 hours
Explanation:
Given Function = f( L,K ) = 30K^(7/10) L^(4/5)
L = size of labor in workers-hours
K = daily capital investment
Daily budget = $14000
average wage of employee = $11.5
Determine the combinations and capital expenditure that would yield max daily production
we will apply the relation below
K^(7/10) = L^(4/5)
K^(7/10) ≈ L^(8/10) ( where L = 14000 - k )
K^(7/10) = ( 14000 - k )^(8/10 )
when we resolve the above equation
K = $7000
L = 7000 / 11.5 ≈ 608 workers
Suppose that the Federal Reserve is conducting an expansionary monetary policy. It will _____ Treasury bills on the open market, so that the money supply will _____, interest rates will _____, planned investment spending will _____, and the AD curve will shift to the _____. sell; increase; rise; rise; left buy; increase; fall; rise; right sell; decrease; rise; fall; left buy; decrease; fall; fall; left
Answer:
buy; increase; fall; rise; right.
Explanation:
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
A fiscal policy affects combined demand through changes in government policies, spending and taxation which eventually impacts employment and standard of living plus consumer spending and investment.
An inflationary gap, also known as the expansionary gap in economics is used to measure the difference between the gross domestic product (GDP) and the current level of real Gross Domestic Products that exists when a country's economy is guaged at a full employment rate. This eventually causes the price of goods and services to go up with a low income level.
Basically, an expansionary fiscal policy will cause the total increase in aggregate demand to be greater than the initial increase in aggregate demand due to the multiplier process.
Hence, the Fed will buy Treasury bills on the open market, so that the money supply will increase, interest rates will fall, planned investment spending will rise, and the aggregate demand (AD) curve will shift to the right.
Aggregate demand (AD) can be defined as the total quantity of output (final goods and services) that is demanded by consumers at all possible price levels in an economy at a particular time.
An aggregate demand curve gives a negative relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output demanded in an economy at a specific period of time.
Consider the following payoff matrix for a game in which two firms attempt to collude under the Bertrand model:
Firm B cuts Firm B colludes
Firm A cuts 6,6 24,8
Firm A colludes 8,24 12,12
Here, the possible options are to retain the collusive price(collude) or to lower the price in attempt to increase the firm's market share (cut). The payoffs are stated in terms of millions of dollars of profits earned per year. What is the Nash equilibrium for this game?
a. Both firms cut prices.
b. Both firms collude.
c. B cuts and A colludes.
d. A cuts and B colludes.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Game theory looks at the interactions between participants in a competitive game and calculates the best choice for the player.
Dominant strategy is the best option for a player regardless of what the other player is playing.
Nash equilibrium is the best outcome for players where no player has an incentive to change their decisions.
For either firm, the payoff of cutting price is either 6 or 24
For either firm, the payoff of colluding is either 8 or 12
the dominant strategy for both firms is to cut price because it is the best option regardless of what the other firm does as it yields the highest payoffs.
Thus, the Nash equilibrium is to cut price
concord corporation purchased a new machine on may 1, 2012 for $559200. at the time of acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a useful life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of $26400. the company has recorded monthly depreciation using the straight-line method. on march 1, 2021, the machine was sold for $71400. what schold be the loss regognized from the sale of the machine
Answer:
$17,160
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Purchase price = $559,200
Useful life = 10 years or 120 months
Salvage value = $26,400
Total time in months(May1,2012 - Mar1,2021) = 106 months
So, depreciation cost = ($559,200 - $26,400) ÷ 120 = $4,440 per month
So, total depreciation cost for 106 months = $4,440 × 106 = $470,640
Book value = Purchase price - depreciation
= $559,200 - $470,640
= $88,560
Hence, Loss = Book value - sold value
= $88,560 - $71,400
= $17,160
Sergey bought two shares of a stock at $22 each in early January 2018. At the end of a year he earned $2 dividend on each one. By year-end 2018 the price had risen to $22.50. In early January (after the holidays) he bought another share at that price. At year-end 2019 the price was $22.80 and the dividend of $2 a share was again paid out. What was the dollar weighted return on his investment?
Answer: 10.79%
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the return in year 1 will be:
= (22.5 + 2)/21 - 1
= 1.1136 - 1
= 0.1136
= 11.36%
The return in year 2 will be:
= (22.8 + 2)/22.5 - 1
= 1.1022 - 1
= 0.1022
= 10.22%
Therefore weighted return will be:
= (11.36% + 10.22%)/2
= 21.58%/2
= 10.79%

(Use 365 days for any calculations.) A. 56.77 days B. 53.28 days C. 51.41 days D. 123.31 days
Answer:
Option A is correct
Days' sales in inventory= 56.77 days
Explanation:
The days' sales in inventory is the average length if days for which product remain in stock until they are sold. The shorter the days the better.
Days' sales in inventory = (closing stock/cost of goods sold) × 365 days
Days' sales in inventory= 49,000/315,000× 365 days= 56.77 days
Days' sales in inventory= 56.77 days

Explanation:
The probability of the economy booming is 10 percent, while it is 60 percent for being normal, and 30 percent for being recessionary. A stock is expected to return 16 percent in a boom, 11 percent in a normal economy, and lose 8 percent in a recession. What is the standard deviation of the returns?
Answer:
9.15%
Explanation:
Expected return = Respective return * Respective probability
Expected return = (0.1*16) + (0.6*11) + (0.3*-8)
Expected return = 5.8%
Probability Return Probability*(Return-Expected Return)^2
0.1 16 [0.1*(16-5.8)^2] = 10.404
0.6 11 [0.6*(11-5.8)^2] = 16.224
0.3 -8 [0.3*(-8-5.8)^2] = 57.132
Total = 83.76%
Standard deviation = [Total probability*(Return-Expected Return)^2/Total probability]^(1/2)
Standard deviation = (83.76)^(1/2)
Standard deviation = 9.15204895092%
Standard deviation = 9.15%
The steady growth line best supports which conclusion about the economy
represented in the graph?
A.The economy as a whole continues to grow between each
business cycle.
O B. The economy is weak and will likely enter a depression in the next
business cycle.
C. The economy has more pronounced peaks than valleys in each
business cycle.
D. The economy does not show a consistent pattern in its business
cycles.
Answer:
A.The economy as a whole continues to grow between each business cycle.
Explanation:
The steady growth line best supports the conclusion about the economy
represented in the graph is that "The economy as a whole continues to grow between each business cycle."
The above statement is true because the production output of the firm continues to rise with time. As time goes on in the business cycle of the firm, the firm continues to grow, which is evident in the increase in the level of production.
Winthrop Manufacturing produces a product that sells for $50.00. Fixed costs are $260,000 and variable costs are $24.00 per unit. Winthrop can buy a new production machine that will increase fixed costs by $11,400 per year, but will decrease variable costs by $3.50 per unit. Compute break-even point in units if the new machine is purchased.
Answer:
See nelow
Explanation:
New fixed cost = $260,000 + $11,400 = $271,400
New variable cost = $24 - $3.5 = $20.5
New contribution margin = $50 - $20.5 = $29.5
Break even unit
= Fixed cost / Contribution margin
=$271,400 / 29.5
= 9,200 units
Therefore, break even points in dollars
= Break even unit × Sales per unit
= 9,200 units × $50
= $460,000
A company purchases an industrial laser for $150,000. The device has a useful life of ten years and a salvage value (market value) at the end of those ten years of $20,000. The before-tax cash flow is estimated to be $80,000 per year. You, of course, suggested applying the Seven-year MACRS (GDS) method instead of the straight-line method. Based on the MACRS depreciation schedule for this asset, if the industrial laser was sold for $60,000 in year four what will be the amount of gain (depreciation recapture) or loss on the disposal of the asset at the end of this year
Answer:
$13,140

Stock prices follow a random walk with a trend because:__________
a. stock prices gradually rise over time.
b. stock prices are based on expectations about future profits only and gradually rise over time.
c. stock prices are based on future profits only and gradually rise over time.
d. stock prices are based on both future profits and expectations about future profits and gradually rise over time.
Answer:
Stock prices follow a random walk with a trend because:__________
d. stock prices are based on both future profits and expectations about future profits and gradually rise over time.
Explanation:
The random walk theory of the stock price movement states that there is no observable pattern or trend to the movement of a stock price. It is, therefore, impossible to use the past movement or trend of a stock price to predict its future movement. This means that the wise investor should invest in the market portfolio to reflect more closely the movement of stock prices in the market instead of investing in a single stock or market security.

6. GAMA Corp. and FAMA Corp. have the same tax rate, sales, total assets, and basic earning power. Both companies have positive net incomes. GAMA Corp. has a higher debt to asset ratio and, therefore, a higher interest expense. Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. GAMA Corp. has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio. b. GAMA Corp.has more net income. c. GAMA Corp.pays more in taxes. d. GAMA Corp. has a lower ROE.
Answer: GAMA Corp. has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio
Explanation:
The times interest earned (TIE) ratio simply means how the ability of a company to meet its debt obligations is being measured based on the current income that the company has.
Since GAMA Corp. has a higher debt to asset ratio and, therefore, a higher interest expense, it simply means that GAMA Corp. has a lower times interest earned (TIE) ratio when compared to FAMA Corp.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
One characteristic of a just-in-time (JIT) inventory system is that :_______
a. a firm has an ample buffer stock of inventory.
b. the working capital a company needs to finance inventory increases is high.
c. a company is more likely to have excess unsold inventory to write off against earnings.
d. parts enter the manufacturing process immediately; they are not warehoused.
e. it is difficult to spot and fix defective inputs.
Answer:
d. parts enter the manufacturing process immediately; they are not warehoused.
Explanation:
The Just in Time inventory system is one where the management of a business increases efficiency and reduces inventory cost by obtaining raw materials for the production process just as they are needed.
This implies warehousing of unused raw materials is at a minimum. Thereby reducing warehousing cost.
So the option most close to JIT inventory method is - parts enter the manufacturing process immediately; they are not warehoused.
This method also requires accurate forecasting get what is actually needed per time.

Duane Miller wants to know what price home he can afford. His annual gross income is $60,000. He has no other debt expenses and expects property taxes and insurance to cost $500 per month. He knows he can get a 6%, 15 year mortgage so his mortgage payment factor is 8.43. He expects to make a 10% down payment. What is Duane's affordable home purchase price
Answer: $151,576
Explanation:
Affordable home purchase price = Affordable mortgage loan / (1 - Down payment percentage)
Affordable mortgage loan = Affordable monthly payment * 1,000 / Factor
Affordable monthly payment = Monthly income * 33% - Property taxes
= (60,000 / 12) * 33% - 500
= $1,150
Affordable mortgage loan = 1,150 * 1,000 / 8.43
= $136,418
Affordable home purchase price = 136,418 / ( 1 - 10%)
= $151,576

Calculate the standard deviation for each of the stocks. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c. What is the covariance between the returns of the two stocks
Answer:
Note: Question is incomplete but full question is attached as picture below
a) Expected return = Probability of recession*Return during recession + Probability of normal*Return during normal + Probability of boom*Return during boom
Expected return for stock A = 0.21*0.04 +0.61*0.12 + 0.18*0.30
Expected return for stock A = 0.1356
Expected return for stock A = 13.56%
Expected return for stock B = 0.21*-0.41 + 0.61*0.31 + 0.18*0.54
Expected return for stock B = 0.2002
Expected return for stock B = 20.02%
b) Standard deviation of stock = √{Probability(Recession)*(Rate during recession - expected rate )^2 + Probability(Normal)(Rate during normal - expected return)^2 + Probability(Boom)*(Rate in boom - Expected return)^2}
Standard deviation of stock A = √[(0.21*(0.04-0.1356)^2 + 0.61*(0.12 - 0.1356)^2 + 0.18*(0.30-0.1356)^2)^0.5]
Standard deviation of stock A = 0.0832
Standard deviation of stock A = 8.32
Standard deviation of stock B = √(0.21*(-0.41-0.2002)^2 + 0.61*(0.31 - 0.2002)^2 + 0.18*(0.54-0.2002)^2)^0.5]
Standard deviation of stock B = 0.3260
Standard deviation of stock B = 32.60%

1. Unrealized Inter-company Inventory Profit = (132,000/120) * 20 = $22,000
Shipment to Branch = 132,000 - 22,000 = $110,000
2. Unrealized Inter-company Inventory Profit = (60,000/120) * 2 = $10,000
6. In the year 1980, the median price for a house in New Hampshire was $95,000. By the year 2000, the median house value has appreciated to $133,300. What was the annual growth rate between 1980 and 2000 (state as a percent to one decimal place)
Answer: 1.7%
Explanation:
You can use the RATE function on Excel to calculate this.
Number of periods = 2000 - 1980 = 20
Payment = 0 as this is not a payment expression
Present value = -95000. Present value should be in decimals.
Future value = 133,300
The formula will return a value of 1.7% as shown in the attachment.
A company making tires for bikes is concerned about the exact width of its cyclocross tires. The company has a lower specification limit of 22.8 mm and an upper specification limit of 23.3 mm. The standard deviation is 0.14 mm and the mean is 23.1 mm. What is the process capability index for the process?
Answer:
the process capability index for the process is 0.4761
Explanation:
The computation of the process capability index for the process is shown below:
= minimum of [(23.3-23.1) ÷ (3 × 0.14),(23.1 - 22.8) ÷ (3 × 0.14)]
= minimum of (0.4761, 0.7142)
= 0.4761
Hence, the process capability index for the process is 0.4761

Conduct a meeting with the client about negotiating. please write a conversation or scenario?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Conduct a meeting with the client about negotiating.
I choose to write about the scenario.
In this meeting with my client, I am going to provide him with important tools to improve his negotiation skills so he can get better deals for his company.
I would create the scenario in which I will be the other part he is about to negotiate with. For this to happen, I am going to explain some basic principles about negotiation and put a series of examples so he can grasp the most important ideas.
Secondly, I am going to share a handbook, or better said, a manual with important key principles of negotiation that could serve him as a guide so he can feel more confident during the negotiation process.
Finally, we are going to have at least thirty minutes to practice a real-life negotiation scenario. It is going to be something basic but real so my client can face some adversity since the beginning of the negotiation process so he can have a good idea of the importance of being fully prepared before entering the negotiating table.
