Suppose that demand for a product is Q = 1200 − 4P and supply is Q = −240 + 2P. Furthermore, suppose that the marginal external

damage of this product is $12 per unit. How many more units of this product will the free market produce than is socially optimal? Calculate the deadweight loss associated with the externality.

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

klio [65]

Answer:

it was a foreseen party

Explanation:

Suppose the revenue from producing​ (and selling) x units of a product is given by Upper R (x )equals 10 x minus . 04 x squared
Volgvan

Answer:

marginal revenue is -6

and production levels 200, 50  

Explanation:

given data

R(x) = 10 x - 0.04 x²  

solution

we have given

R(x) = 10 x - 0.04 x²  

so here R'(x)  is

R'(x) = 10(1) - 0.4 (2x)  

R'(x) = 10 - 0.8 x ....................1

so here at x is 20 marginal revenue will be

R'(20) = 10 - 0.8(20)

R'(20) =  10 - 16

R'(20) = - 6

and

when revenue  is ​$400

R(x) = 400

400 = 10 x - 0.04 x²  

x= 200, 50

The firm's tax rate is 34 percent. The firm's pre-tax cost of debt is 8 percent; the firm's debt-to-equity ratio is 3; the risk-
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

WACC = 0.08085  or  8.085% rounded off to 8.09%

Option c is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure that can contain one or more of the following components, namely debt, preferred stock and common equity. The formula to calculate the WACC is as follows,

WACC = wD * rD * (1-tax rate)  +  wP * rP  +  wE * rE

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each component
  • D, P and E represents debt, preferred stock and common equity respectively
  • r represents the cost of each component

We first need to calculate the weight of each stock. We know the basic accounting equation is,

Assets = Debt + Equity

We know the debt to equity ratio is 3. Then total assets will be,

Assets = 3 + 1

Assets = 4

Using the CAPM equation, we can calculate the cost of equity.

r = risk free rate  +  Beta  *  Market risk premium

r = 0.03  +  1.5  *  0.09

r = 0.165  or  16.5%

WACC = 3/4  *  0.08  *  (1 - 0.34)  +  1/4  *  0.165

WACC = 0.08085  or  8.085% rounded off to 8.09%
