Suppose the government requires each firm to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by an equal amount such that total emissions are re

Answer:

is not efficient because firms can have different costs of reducing pollution.

Explanation:

Economic efficiency is the way a business maximises the use of factors of production (land, labor, capital) to produce output at a reduced cost. Efficiency aims to improve output and reduce cost to the barest minimum.

In this instance to individual cost required to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions is not considered by the government.

Since reduction of sulfur dioxide is equal among firms, some smaller ones may incur cost that will financially impair them and put them out of business.

While bigger firms will easily bear the cost.

Summary financial information for Paragon Company is as follows. Dec. 31, 2014 Dec. 31, 2013 Current assets $ 203,600 $ 254,000

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Current assets:

Amount = 2014 value - 2013 value

= $203,600 - $254,000

= -($50,400) (Negative)

percentage changes = $\frac{Amount}{2013\ value}\times100$

= $\frac{50,400}{254,000}\times100$

= (19.84)%

Plant assets:

Amount = 2014 value - 2013 value

= $1,397,000 - $831,700

= $565,300

percentage changes = $\frac{Amount}{2013\ value}\times100$

= $\frac{565,300}{831,700}\times100$

= 67.96%

Total assets:

Amount = 2014 value - 2013 value

= $1,600,600 - $1,085,700

= $514,900

percentage changes = $\frac{Amount}{2013\ value}\times100$

= $\frac{514,900}{1,085,700}\times100$

= 47.42%

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Sell option is preferred.

Explanation:

The decision whether to lease out the machinery that is surplus to requirement or sell outrightly is dependent on the differential analysis performed below.In the analysis I have compared the profits under each option in order to guide the final decision:

Differential analysis as at 7th November(Sale or lease option)

Sell option lease option

revenue from sell/lease option $180,000 $200,000

Brokerage commission(5%*$180,000) ($9,000) -

costs of repairs,insurance and property taxes - ($34,400)

Profits $171,000 $165,600

The sell option provides $5400($171,000-$165,600) than the lease option,hence the sell option is preferred.

One would have expect that the lease option since it has more revenue to preferable but the costs of repairs,insurance and property taxes were also on the high side

To start scheduling messages in mass, first explore to the 'Publisher' segment, click BULK MESSAGE UPLOAD and download the example .csv document you'll load up with your posts.

It's critical to take note of that the best projects to utilize when working with this document are Google Docs, Text Edit and Textwrangler - Excel spreadsheets may not perceive a few characters.

In the main section, input the date in MONTH, DAY, YEAR or DAY, MONTH, YEAR arrange, trailed when you need the message to be distributed.

The time code must end with either a ZERO or a FIVE, and all messages must be planned no less than 10 minutes in front of when you intend to import the .csv record into Hootsuite.
