Nelson Mfg. owns a manufacturing facility that is currently sitting idle and is debt-free. The facility is located on a piece of

land that originally cost $159,000. The facility itself cost $1,390,000 to build. As of now, the book value of the land and the facility are $159,000 and $458,000, respectively. The firm received a bid of $1,700,000 for the land and facility last week. The firm's management rejected this bid even though they were told that it is a reasonable offer in today's market. If the firm was to consider using this land and facility in a new project, what cost, if any, should it include in the project analysis

Answer:

The total cost to include in any project analysis should be $1,700,000, which can be apportioned as follows:

Land = $159,000/$617,000 * $1,700,000 = $438,088

Facility = $458,000/$617,000 * $1,700,000 = $1,261,912

Explanation:

The fair market values of the Land and Facility are $438,088 and $1,261,912, being the amounts at which the land and facility could be sold together to obtain $1,700,000.

In project analysis, the relevant cost to include is not the sunk cost of $617,000 ($159,000 and $458,000), but the opportunity cost.

$1,700,000 represents the opportunity cost.

The opportunity cost is the cost that would have been incurred assuming that the land and facility were sold at the first bid.  This represents the bid price for the land and facility.

Suppose a monopolist discovers a way to perfectly price-discriminate. Under this scenario, consumer surplus is . What are the ef
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is: zero; zero.

Explanation:

If a monopolist discovers a way to perfectly discriminate, it means that the monopolist will charge equal to the willingness to pay from each consumer.

The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay and the price it actually pays.

Since each consumer is paying price equal to its willingness to pay, the consumer surplus will be zero.

There will be no efficiency costs. The monopolist will sell output where the maximum price the consumer is willing to pay is equal to or greater than the marginal cost. So all efficient trades will occur, there will be no efficiency costs.

Reil [10]

Answer:

a. self-interested paper producers will not consider the full cost of the dioxin pollution they create.

Explanation:

Externality basically causes the market to produce a large amount or little amount of goods and service, thereby causing an inefficient distribution or allocation of resources.

Therefore, when the manufacturing or consumption of a particular product by the consumers leads to an additional cost for a third party, it is known as negative externality.

Hence, Dioxin emission that results from the production of paper is a good example of a negative externality because self-interested paper producers will not consider the full cost of the dioxin pollution they create.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

d. the supply of water is grater than the supply of diamonds

Explanation:

Adam Smith in this passage is illustrating the fact that the price of goods is not linked to how useful they are, but to their scarcity. Water (at least in 1776) was very abundant, and diamonds were very rare. The relative scarcity of these goods is what determines ultimately their market prices
