Answer:
1. positive externalities
2. educational credit for the market failure
3. redistribution
4. failure to maximize the family utility
Explanation:
There are generally four rationales or logical thinking for the public provisions for education. They are the positive externalities, failure to maximize the family utility, educational credit for the market failure, redistribution.
Now each rationales provides reasons that educations is more likely to be underprovided without any intervention from the government. But many of them does not provide any reasons for the mandate of education.
Like suppose the government can support and solve any educational credit market failure by just offering some loan guarantees for the students while letting them chose to receive education or not.
Similarly government can also address positive externalities that are associated with productivity gains or just letting a person educated without any mandating it.
And finally, government redistributes the poor families through the progressive taxation or the offerings of free education without any mandating them.
I would say this would be true as if extra capital like an electric shovel in an open pit mine resulted in a fall of output then of course it should be questioned why that occurred since it is a result that is counterintuitive ie does not make sense as one would expect an increase in capital would result in an increase in output.
Answer:
a. 11.2%
b. 8.74%
c. Yes
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The cost of equity capital is
Cost of equity capital = Risk free rate of return + Beta × Market risk premium
= 4% + 0.9 × 8%
= 4% + 7.2%
= 11.2%
b. Now the WACC is
= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × ( 1- tax rate) + (Weightage of common stock) × (cost of common stock)
= (0.3 × 5%) × ( 1 - 40%) + (0.7 × 11.2%)
= 0.9% + 7.84%
= 8.74%
c. Yes the project should be accepted as the internal rate of return is greater than the cost of equity capital
Answer:
Current Liabilities
Federal Income Taxes Payable $336,000
Advances on Magazine Subscriptions $1,593,750
Total Current Liabilities $1,929,750
Explanation:
Federal Income Taxes Payable
This is a current Liability as it falls under a period of a year. As March ends the first quarter, the quarterly tax is;
= 840,000 x 40%
= $336,000
Advances on Magazine Subscriptions
They are to deliver monthly subscriptions for 12 months to the tune of 25,000 copies which they have already been paid for. Under the Accrual system they cannot recognize this as revenue until they have fulfilled their obligation to deliver the magazines and until then, they are current Liabilities. As of end of March, they have fulfilled their obligations for 3 months leaving 9 in the year.
= 25,000 x $85 x 9/12
=$1,593,750
