Consider the production of paper in Strelsau. Suppose that the supply of paper is upward-sloping and the demand for paper is dow

nward-sloping. Suppose that the production of paper causes a negative externality of $0.50 per ream (because the smell of the paper production process in this town is both strong and horrific), and the conditions outlined by the Coase theorem do not hold. By how much does the optimal price per ream of paper differ from the market price per ream of paper?

Answer: The optimal price is higher than market price by less than $0.50.

Explanation:

Since, it was given that Coase theorem doesn't hold in this situation, hence, the social marginal cost is greater than the private marginal cost by $0.50. The social marginal cost curve lies towards the left of demand curve.

Since the demand and supply curve are not perfectly elastic or inelastic, so the optimal equilibrium occurs at a point (price) which is greater than the prevailing market price, but the difference in the price is less than $0.50.

Therefore, the optimal price is higher than market price by less than $0.50.

Trava [24]

Answer:

a. $58,800

b. $57,820

Explanation:

Generally, notes are issued on the discounted or face value. It is face value when the price of the note is the same as the face value while it is discounted when the price of the note is lower than the face or par value.

a. Since the note is issued on the face value of $58,800 , it means that the proceed is the same amount. The proceeds from a note that is issued, is that price at which the note is issued.

b. Discount value

= $58,800 × 10% × 60/360

= $980

Proceeds

= Face/par value of the note - Discount value of the note

= $58,800 - $980

= $57,820
