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.

Your company builds cars in Texas. You purchase metal from a company in Wisconsin. You are part of the _________ segment of the
kramer

Answer:

You are part of the internal segment of the supply chain, and the metal company is part of the upstream supply chain.

The internal supply chain relates to processes within the company, and the upstream supply chain refers to the supply of raw materials and other input to be made into output in the company.

If a car-building company in Texas imports steel from Wisconsin, then, the providers in Wisconsin are the upstream supply chain.

Comet Company is owned equally by Pat and his sister Pam, each of whom hold 100 shares in the company. Comet redeems 50 of Pam's
forsale [732]

Answer:

Comet's E&P will decrease by $50,000 due to the exchange.

Explanation:

50 of Pam's shares are worth 50 x $1,000 = $50,000, since the corporation is redeeming them, it will do so by decreasing its earnings and profits (retained earnings account).

Generally when larger corporations buy back stocks (AKA treasury stocks), they will credit cash and debit treasury stocks, but since Pam's stocks are being retired, they are not going to be held as treasury stocks, therefore E&P must decrease.
