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

AveGali [126]

Answer:

b) increase; fall; rises

Explanation:

Federal budget comes from tax revenues and was drained by transfer payments.

In a recession, firms go out of businesses and people don't spend much. There will be less tax on goods and firms' profits. On the other hand, more people become unemployed  and become entitled to receiving transfer payments.

Exercise 18-12 Computing sales to achieve target income LO C2 Blanchard Company manufactures a single product that sells for $31
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The unit sales to earn the target income is 9,000 units

Explanation:

Annual income=Total sales-total expenses

where;

Annual income=$1,550,000

Total sales=Cost per unit sales×number of units sold (n)=(310×n)=310 n

Total expenses=Variable cost+annual fixed cost

Total expenses=(248×n)+992,000

Total expenses=248 n+992,000

Replacing;

1,550,000=310 n-(248 n+992,000)

1,550,000=310 n-248 n-992,000

310 n-248 n=1,550,000-992,000

62 n=558,000

n=558,000/62

n=$9,000

The unit sales to earn the target income is 9,000 units

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

On September 30

Bonds payable A/c Dr $1,000,000

Loss on bond retirement A/c Dr $20,000

          To Discount on Bond A/c  $10,000

          To Cash A/c $1,010,000

(Being the callable bond is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

For cash

= Par value of bond + Premium

= $1,000,000 + $10,000

= $1,010,000

For Loss, it would be

= $1,010,000 - $990,000

= $20,000

And, the remaining amount would be transferred to discount on bond
