Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

There are two types of externality are as follows:

(a) Positive externality

(b) Negative externality

Negative externality occurs when a third person is affected by the engagement of two parties. It means that there is a reduction in the consumption function of the third person from the production of goods by the other parties.

In our case, a firm which produces paper and from this production of paper there is an emission of Dioxin which affect the consumption of nearest persons or firms.

Therefore, a paper producing firm have to consider all the externality while calculating the total cost.

Refer to the information for Alfombra Inc. below.
Ann [662]

Answer:

<u>cost to be accounted for:</u>

beginning cost: 180,000

added cost        756,000

total cost         <em>   936,000</em>

<u>cost accounted for:</u>

ending WIP 30,000 x 5.2           =  156,000

trasnsferred-out: 150,000 x 5.2 =  780,000

total cost accounted for           <em>      936,000</em>

Explanation:

150,000 completed

 50,000 at 60%

weighted average equivalent unit:

complete + percetage of completion ending WIP

150,000 + 50,000 x 60% = 180,000

Cost per unit:

936,000 / 180,000 = 5.2 dollar per unit

we should match the total cost pool with the ending WIP and trasnferred out units

A survey of 50 retail stores revealed that the average price of a microwave was $375 with a sample standard deviation of $20. As
ohaa [14]

Answer:

True cost of the microwave is in 99% confidence interval: c. $323.40 to $426.60

Explanation:

Relevant data:

n=50\\\mu=375\\\sigma=20\\\alpha=0,001

As we want to know the 99% confidence interval, the significance level is:

(1-\alpha).100\%=99\%\\1-\alpha=0.99\\\alpha=0.01

We need to estimate a confidence interval by a two tailed normal bell. Then we have:

Z_{\alpha/2}=Z_{0.005}

The z-value for a probability of 0.005 in a normal standard distribution is 2.576

Confidence interval is given by;:

\=x\±Z_{\alpha/2}\sigma\\375\±Z_{\0.005}(20)\\375\±(2.58)(20)\\375\±51.60

375+51.60=426.60\\375-51.60=323.40

True cost of the microwave is in 99% confidence interval: c. $323.40 to $426.60

India specializes in business process outsourcing and does this more efficiently than any other country. It buys agricultural co
uysha [10]

Answer:

Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is the term used to define the ability of an individual, firm or country to produce a particular good or service at a lower opportunity cost than that if it’s competitors or trade partners. Opportunity cost is the benefit lost from the second best alternative.

When a country can produce a product more efficiently (i.e maximum output using minimum resources) than that of its trade partners, it is known as that it has absolute advantage in that product. India tends to have absolute advantage in both business processes outsourcing as well as producing agricultural commodities as it is mentioned that it can produce both of these more efficiently than the United States.

However, although it has absolute advantage in both, it is still less efficient in producing agricultural commodities when compared to business process outsourcing. In other words, if it attempts to produce agricultural commodities in-house, the benefit lost from the second best alternative: business process outsourcing is high. The opportunity cost is higher when it produces agricultural commodities than it is when it does business process outsourcing. Hence, due to the law of comparative advantage, it chooses to specialize in business process outsourcing and imports agricultural commodities.
