zheka24 [161]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The magnitude of the deadweight loss resulting from the externality is shown below:

MC = 500 + 2Q

MEC = 40 + 2Q

Therefore, the Marginal social cost (MSC) will be:

= MC + MEC

= 500 + 2Q + 40 + 2Q

= 540 + 4Q

Since Demand: Q = 150,000 - 100P, we have to get a function for P which will be:

Q = 150,000 - 100P

100P = 150,000 - Q

P = (150,000 - Q)/100

P = 1,500 - 0.01Q

Total revenue, TR = P x Q

= (1,500 - 0.01Q) × Q

= 1500Q - 0.01Q²

Marginal revenue, MR will be:

= dTR / dQ

= 1,500 - 0.02Q

It should be noted that for when there's no externality, Equilibrium, MC must be equal to MR. Therefore,

1,500 - 0.02Q = 500 + 2Q

2Q + 0.02Q = 1500 - 500

2.02Q = 1,000

Q = 1000/2.02

Q = 495

P = 1,500 - (0.01 x 495)

= 1,500 - 4.95

= 1,495.05

When there's externality, Equilibrium will be:

MR = MSC

1,500 - 0.02Q = 540 + 4Q

4.02Q = 960

Q= 960/4.02

Q = 239

Therefore, P = 1,500 - (0.01 x 239)

= 1,500 - 2.39

= 1,497.61

Then, we will calculate the deadweight loss which will be:

= 1/2 x Difference in price x Difference in quantity

= 1/2 x (1,497.61 - 1,495.05) x (495 - 239)

= 1/2 x 2.56 x 256

= 327.68

The common stock of sweet treats is valued at $10.80 a share. the company increases its dividend by 8 percent annually and expec

N76 [4]

Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends.

Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)

where
D1 = expected annual dividend per share in the following year 
k = the investor's discount rate or required rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate

From the problem:
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08

k is unknown

Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:

k = (D1/P0) + g

Substituting the variables with the given values,

k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170

In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.

Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.

Dan Jacobs, production manager for GreenLife, invested in computer-controlled production machinery last year. He purchased th

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The pertinent focuses for Dan Jacobs choice are referenced beneath.

The new hardware would cost GreenLife $4,500,000
The new hardware would twofold the creation yield of the old apparatus

The expense of new hardware and the expansion in the creation yield by 100% are the future expenses and incomes and thus they are significant for dynamic.

The old apparatus is bought previously. Consequently, the price tag of the old apparatus is immaterial for dynamic procedure. Tho director ought to consider the resale estimation of old apparatus in the dynamic. Tho resale estimation of old apparatus ought to be deducted from the expense of new hardware so as to ascertain the net money surge to buy the new apparatus.

The director ought to set up an expense and advantage examination or ascertain NPV (net present estimation) of the venture (capital planning investigation) to introduce it before the leader of the organization. The extra costs identified with extra creation ought to likewise be thought of. This investigation would support the supervisor and the president in dissecting that whether they should buy the new machine or not.

Riva crafts and sells hard cider as a part-time job. She can bottle and sell four cases in a week. She is considering hiring her

Dovator [93]

Answer:

3 cases

Explanation:

Marginal product refers to change in the total output when an additional input is employed. For example, output is 5 units when 2 laborers are employed. When another unit of input i.e 3rd laborer is employed, the output rises to 9 units. In this case marginal product of the 3rd unit of labor would be 9 - 5 i.e 4 units.

In the given case, before Atul is hired, the production was 4 cases per week. After his being hired, it rose to 7 cases per week. Thus Atul's marginal product in the given case would be 7 - 4 i.e 3 cases.
