There is an oil refinery located on a river. A fish farm is located in the bay, and is adversely affected by the oil refiner’s w

ater pollution. More oil produces more pollution, and more pollution increases the fish farmer’s costs. The price for refining a barrel of crude oil is po = 200, and the price of a unit of fish is pf = 500. Let o and f represent the quantities of oil refined and fish produced by the two firms, respectively. The oil refiner’s cost is Co(o) = o^2, and the fish farmer’s cost function is Cf(f,o) = f^2+o^2. The fact that o shows up in Cf reflects the negative externality.
(a) How much do the firms produce in a decentralized market equilibrium?

(b) Show that the decentralized market solution is Pareto inefficient.

(c) Find the Pareto efficient allocation of o.

(d) Suppose that the government imposes a tax on the oil refiner that makes the oil refiner pay $t per unit of output produced. Is there a t that induces the Pareto efficient level of o?

(e) Suppose that the fishery has the right to a pollution-free environment. Suppose that given this the fishery can bargain with the oil refiner over o, and suppose that the bargaining process is such that the fishery makes a take-it-or-leave it offer to the oil refiner, and the offer can either be accepted or rejected. The offer allows the refiner to produce a certain level of o in exchange for a payment from the refiner to the fishery. If the offer is rejected the oil refiner is not allowed to produce. What will be the outcome of this bargaining process in terms of the quantity of o produced?

You are evaluating a fund that had an annual average return of 7.2%. During that time, the average risk-free rate was 1.5% and t
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Risk free rate(Rf) = 1.5%

Market return(Rm) = 8%

Beta(β) = 0.8

ER(P) = Rf  + β(Rm – Rf)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(8-1.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(6.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 5.2

ER(P) = 6.7%

Alpha = Annual average return - ER(P)

         = 7.2% - 6.7%

         = 0.5%

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the expected return on the stock based on CAPM. Thereafter, we will calculate alpha by deducting the expected return from annual average return.

Premium on BP        1,965.83 debit

        Cash                                 20,250 credit

Explanation:

procceds 461,795

face value 450,000

premium on bonds payable 11,795

As the cash received exceed the face value then, the bonds were isued at premium.

This will be amortized over the bonds life

3-year bonds with semiannual payment: 6 payment in total

amortization per payment:

11,795 / 6 = 1.965,83

The will post:

the cash disbursement in favor of the bondholder:

450,000 x 9%/2 =  20,250

amortization             (1,965.83)

interest expense:    18.284,17‬

Answer:

Contribution margin ratio:

For East Coast = 10%

For West Coast = 8.05%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Contribution margin by sales territory report :

C C S Inc.

Contribution margin by Territory

Particulars                             East Coast                     West Coast

Sales (a)                                $8,400,000                     $8,610,000

(30,000×$280)+(0×$130)

(21,000×$280)+(21,000×$130)

Less: variable cost of goods sold(b) $6,600,000      $6,657,000

(30,000×$220)+(0×$97)

(21,000×$220)+(21,000×$97)

Manufacturing margin (c=a-b) $1,800,000                  $1,953,000

Less: Variable selling expense (d) $960,000             $1,260,000

(30,000×$32)+(0×$28)

(21,000×$32)+(21,000×$28)

Contribution margin (e=c-d)        $840,000                 $693,000

For East Coast:

Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ Sales revenue)×100

=($840,000÷ $8,400,000)×100

= 10%

For west coast:

Contribution margin ratio = (Contribution margin ÷ Sales revenue)×100

=($693,000 ÷ $8,610,000)×100

= 8.05%
