You are the General Manager of a regional chemical company. In the course of producing your bulk chemicals, large amount of part

icles and smoke are emitted through your plant's smokestack. The level of pollutants is well below current EPA regulations, and you are violating no laws, but neighborhood groups are complaining about minor health problems caused by the smoke. After investigating numerous alternatives, you find the most effective solution would be to install a "scubber" system which will remove 90% of the pollutants and ash. The cost of the "scrubber" system is $10 milion and your company's annual profits are $2 million. Who are you company's stakholders to consider in this scenario and would you install it?

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Explanation:

The companies board of directors as well as you would consider whether it is best to install the scubber system. When determining whether to install the scubber system both short and long term consequences are to be considered. If presently, the level of pollution is legal, you need to consider if in the future it would be legal? if the installation of the scubber system would affect the public relations of the company. After considering all this, it would be better to install because the pollution can lead to death, and the neighborhood can sue the company. Also the EPA regulations can be regulated.

What is an externality? how do externalities relate to socially optimal quantity?
Elodia [21]
An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved.  For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<em>The theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations</em>

Explanation:

Given the total time available per day = 480 minutes

the cycle time which is the time required or spent to produce a unit can be obtained as;

Cycle time = Total time / Demand per day

Cycle time = 480 / 80 = 6 minutes

hence 6 minutes is the cycle time  for one unit.

The theoretical number of stations can be calculated thus;

Theoretical number of stations = Time for one unit / Cycle time

= 30/6 = 5 workstations

<em>Therefore the theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations</em>

Klio2033 [76]

If the two nations trade, the trade price of wheat in terms of steel will be "greater than the domestic opportunity cost of wheat in alpha and less than the domestic opportunity cost of wheat in beta".

Opportunity cost speaks to the advantages an individual, financial specialist or business misses out while picking one option over another. While financial reports don't demonstrate opportunity cost, entrepreneurs can utilize it to settle on wise choices when they have different choices available to them.
