Whenever the production of a good creates negative externalities, an unregulated market will result in:

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

In an unregulated market, negative externality results in a higher social marginal cost than the firm marginal cost because this market is not properly regulated by the government officials. Hence, these firms are not taking into account the effect of negative externalities in their cost.

We know that the consumer's decision is more offenly based on the point where the marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit because they are not taking the impact of negative externalities.

If proper action is not taken by the government, negative externality will result in a market inefficiencies.

Orem Corporation's current liabilities are $116,160, its long-term liabilities are $474,240, and its working capital is $162,600

jekas [21]

Answer:

Total long-term assets must equal: d $2,771,640

Explanation:

Orem Corporation's Total Debt (liabilities) = current liabilities + long-term liabilities = $116,160 + $474,240 = $590,400

Debt-to-equity ratio = Total Debt/Total Equity

Total Equity = Total Debt/Debt-to-equity ratio = $590,400/0.24 = $2,460,000

Working capital = Current assets - Current abilities

Current assets = Working capital + Current abilities = $162,600 + $116,160 = $278,760

Basing accounting equation:

Total assets = Current assets + Long-term assets = Total liabilities + Total Equity = $590,400 + $2,460,000 = $3,050,400

Long-term assets = Total assets - Current assets = $3,050,400 - $278,760 = $2,771,640

Khaling Company

Income Statement

Sales (26,850units* $ 15.84) $ 425304

Less

Variable Costs ( $11.70* 26580 units) $ 31,0986

Contribution Margin 114,318

Less Fixed Costs $116,440

Operating Income (loss) (2122)

2. Break even point in units = Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin Per unit

= $116,440/$ 15.84-$11.70

=$116,440/ 4.14

= 28,125.6= 28126 units

<em>We find the Contribution Margin Per unit by subtracting variable cost per unit from sales price per unit.</em>

3. Required Sales in Units = Fixed Costs + Targeted Income/ Contribution Margin Per unit

=$116,440 +$11,480 /$ 15.84-$11.70

= 127920/4.14= 30898.5= 30899 units
