Answer:

The Company should undertake project A.

Explanation:

The finance of projects is usually done through pooling of funds, that is using <em>various sources</em> of finance. The WACC represents the return required by providers of this finance and also shows the risk of the company.

A company will always<em> accept projects</em> that provide a return higher that their weighted average cost of capital (risk) and r<em>eject any project</em> offering a return below the WACC.

Conclusion :

The Company should undertake project A as this gives a return higher than the WACC of 8.5%.

Suppose the production of cotton causes substantial environmental damage because the pesticides used by cotton farmers often mak
Kipish [7]

Answer: C. inefficiently low; inefficiently high

Explanation:

If the cotton farmers are not made to pay for the damage that their pesticides cost then they will maintain production at a relatively high level because their input costs will be relatively low. As a result of this high level of production, the price of the goods will be relatively low as well. The point at which both market equilibrium quantity and price are at in this scenario are considered inefficient because they are not taking into account, the true cost of production being the effects of the pesticides being used.

However, if they are made to pay for this negative externality that they are the cause of, it will increase their production cost and force them to reduce production to keep these costs low. As they reduce production, the market price will increase as supply is less.

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $2,295.48
  • administrator $1,993.98

Explanation:

                                           regular earnings     overtime    withholding  

                                                                                              allowances

Consultant                        $4,000 per week       N/A                2

Computer programmer          $60 per hour        1.5                  1

Administrator                          $50 per hour          2                  2

computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300

administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800

Social security taxes:

  • Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240                        
  • Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198        
  • Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168

Medicare taxes:

  • Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60                        
  • Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50        
  • Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42

Federal income taxes:

  • Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02                        
  • Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02            
  • Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02  

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
  • administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98

given data

one year basket costs =  $10.00

two year two basket costs =  $9.00

one year buy baskets = $50

year two,buy baskets = $50

to find out

as the price level falls, the value of money  will be

solution

we see that when we compare to 1 year price go down from $10 to $ 9

so deflation at annual rate is \frac{10-9}{10} = 10%

so here

sum of $50 will be buy here = \frac{50}{10} = $5 in one year

and $ 50 buy in 2 year is = \frac{50}{9} = $5.56 in two year

so this is show here that price level fall and value of money is rises
