Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": environmental costs included in market price.
Explanation:
Oil and other resources like natural gas are used as fuel and energy sources. However, <em>the environmental cost of extracting them is not included in the market price</em>. If that would happen, prices of those sources would not be accessible to regular consumers.
The exploitation of oil emits methane which is a gas even more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide. Governments in most cases regulate the oil exploitation considering the environmental impact of that activity.
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
XA + XB = 100
QA = 100XA
QB = 200XB - XB^2
Use the fact that,
XA = 100 - XB
Now total production is Q = QA + QB
Q = 100XA + 200XB - XB^2
Q = 100 × (100 - XB) + 200XB - XB^2
Q = 10,000 + 100XB - XB^2
Output is maximum when Q'(XB) = 0
100 = 2XB = 0
XB = 50
XA = 50
Therefore, the firm’s profit-maximizing allocation of input X is 50 units of XA and 50 units of XB.
Answer: Option C.
General,selling and administrative cost cannot be assigned to a cost object.
Explanation:
