Answer:
The efficient level of pollution removal occurs where the marginal benefit of pollution removal equals the marginal cost of pollution removal (some cow farts could be allowed).
Explanation:
This is the statement that would best fit within economic theory. If we look at this problem, we would see that there is a cost (the cost of removing pollution) and there is a benefit (the benefit of pollution removal). If we do not take the welfare of the Earth into account, then the best (most efficient) strategy to take would be one in which the marginal benefit of pollution removal equals the marginal cost of pollution removal. This would mean that it is not efficient to get rid of all cow farts. Instead, it is better to allow some in order to keep the cost of pollution removal low enough.
Answer:
The correct answer is B. The highest average values occur along the equator.
Explanation:
The spatial distribution of precipitation on the continents is very varied, thus there are extensive areas such as deserts, where rainfall is extremely scarce, of the order 0 to 200 mm of precipitation per year. In the Sahara desert, the annual average rainfall is just a few mm, while in the areas near the Gulf of Darién between Colombia and Panama, the annual rainfall is over 3,000 mm, with a maximum of about 10 meters (10,000 mm ). The Atacama desert in northern Chile is the driest area of all continents.
Answer:
11.6%
Explanation:
A firm total market value is $10 million
Its debt has a market value of $4 million
The before-tax cost of debt is 10%
= 10/100
= 0.1
The cost of equity is 15%
= 15/100
= 0.15
The tax rate is 35%
= 35/100
= 0.35
Therefore, the after-tax weighted average cost of capital can be calculated as follows
WACC= 0.4(0.10)(1-0.35) + 0.6(0.15)
= 0.04(0.65) + 0.09
= 0.026 + 0.09
= 0.116×100
= 11.6%
Hence the after-tax weighted average cost of capital is 11.6%
Answer:
$76,120
Explanation:
For computing the allocated cost, first we have to determine the per call cost which is shown below:
Per call cost = Cost incurred ÷ number of calls
= $189,200 ÷ 8,600 calls
= $22
The calls for wholesale operation = 3,460 calls
The calls for retail division would be
= 8,600 calls - 3,460 calls
= 5,140 calls
Now the allocated cost to the wholesale operation would be
= 3,460 calls × $22
= $76,120
The U.S. Bureau of labor statistics gather information with regard to the typical consumption choices of Americans through, Consumer Expenditure Survey. This is the survey that collects information on the buying habits of the American consumers. The surveyors collect data on expenditures, income and consumer unit characteristics.
