Answer:
a. the cost of reducing it's existing pollution by one unit.
Explanation:
Marginal cost refers to the addition to total cost when one more unit of output is produced. Marginal cost in the given case would refer to the additional cost incurred for reducing the current pollution level by one unit.
In the given case, a firm is charged $250 for each unit of pollution emitted under the pollution tax option.
It is also stated that all the firms experience increasing marginal costs of pollution reduction.
This means, as additional units of pollution are reduced, the additional costs would go on increasing.
If a firm finds that, reducing 1 unit of pollution from the current level costs it equal or more than $250, it will opt to pay $250 since, for each subsequent unit of pollution reduction, the additional costs would rise.
Answer:
It represents a cause
Explanation:
If it is on the right side of the function it means that it is one of the independent variables that explains the dependent variable (located on the left side of the function). What the function is representing is the influence that the independent variable (the cause of the dependent variable) has on the dependent variable (the effect that the cause or causes are being sought).
Answer:
7.05 %
Explanation:
After tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)
so, the initial step is to determine the interest rate :
The Bond Yield (i/yr) presents the market rate and this is what we want for our interest rate.
thus,
PV = - [$950 - ($950 x14%)] = - $817<em>(remove floatation cost from market price)</em>
FV = $1000
PMT = $1000 x 7 % = $70.00
P/YR = 1
N = 14
i/yr = ??
Using a financial calculator to input the values as above, the Bond Yield (i/yr) will be 9.40 %
therefore,
After tax cost of debt = 9.40 % x (1 - 0.25)
= 7.05 %
Answer:
5,110,000 and 5,170,000.
Explanation:
earnings per share EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / weighted average of outstanding shares
- 4,800,000 at the beginning of the year
- 200,000 issued April 1 = 200,000 x 9/12 = 150,000
- 480,000 issued September 1 = 480,000 x 4/12 = 160,000
weighted average outstanding shares = 4,800,000 + 150,00 + 160,000 = 5,110,000
diluted shares = ($6,000,000 / $1,000) x 40 x 3/12 = 60,000
diluted EPS = (net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average of outstanding shares + diluted shares)
weighted average of outstanding shares + diluted shares = 5,110,000 + 60,000 = 5,170,000 shares
Answer:
$14,300
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that the management of the company estimated that the amount in the uncollectible accounts will be the amount of $14,300 which means that the amount of $14,300 will be the balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts that should be reported on the company balance sheet.
