Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Explanation:
Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P
In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied
1200 -4P = -240 +2P
P =240
Sub P
Q* = 240
Socially optimal quantity is
Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC
MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function
MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120
MEC=12
MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12
MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn
MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q
(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q
Q° = 224
Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Answer:
D. A Fed sale of bonds to brokers and banks.
Explanation:
The sale of bonds to banks and brokers is a contractionary open market policy. Its objective is to check inflation by slowing down the rate of economic growth. When the Fed offer bonds to the markets at a higher interests rate, banks will prefer to buy the bonds than lending out money to household and firms.
Producers rely on banks to fund their operations. If they cannot obtains loans for production and growth, their output decreases. A decrease in output results in reduced exports. Low production of US goods means a reduced supply to the international market. It means international buyers will be competing for fewer US products. As the markets compete for the few available products, they push the demand for the dollar up, causing it to appreciate in value.
Answer:
$112,500
Explanation:
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation expense in year 1 = 2/4 x $450,000 = $225,000
Book value at the beginning of year 2 = $450,000 - $225,000 = $225,000
Depreciation expense in year 2 = 2/4 x $225,000 = $112,500
Answer:
a. $6
b. $3204000
Explanation:
Given:
- Product X is 534,000 units
- cost for materials $1,441,800
- cost for labour: $1,762,200
(a) a standard cost
As we know standard cost is the cost of producing 1 unit and is recorded in a standard cost card. However, the cost of labor, materials and overhead are used to make a single unit, so
standard cost = unit variable cost = the total cost / the total number of unit.
In this situation, the overheading cost is not gven, so the total cost:
= The cost of labor + materials
= $1,441,800 + $1,762,200
= $3204000
=> standard cost = $3204000 / 534,000 = $6
(b) a budgeted cost represents the total costs
The total number of units * standard cost
= 534,000 * 6
= $3204000
Answer: hello your question is poorly structured attached below is the missing graph and missing part of the question
Assume the government imposes a $1.00 excise tax on the sale of every 2 liter bottle of soda. The tax is to be paid by the producers of soda. The figure below shows the annual market for 2 liter bottles of soda before and after the tax is imposed.
answer :
a) $2 , 4 billion
b) $2.5
c) $1.5
d) 3 billion
e) $3 billion
Explanation:
a) equilibrium price = $2 per bottle
equilibrium quantity = 4 billion bottles
<u>b) After imposition of excise tax </u>
consumers will pay = $2.5
<u>c) The amount producers keep after the imposition of taxes </u>
= $2.5 - tax
= 2.5 - 1 = $1.5
<u>d) New equilibrium quantity ( after tax is imposed ) </u>
= 3 billion bottles ( from graph attached ) i.e. intersection of S2 and D
e)<u> Amount of tax revenue collected by the government from the imposition of tax </u>
= quantity of bottles sold * $1
= 3 billion * $1 = $3 billion
