Answer:

BEP units:   15,000 60-pounds bags

(B)

14,000 generates     6,000 loss

35,000 generates 120,000 net

(C) operating leverage: 2

(D) financial leverage: 1.63

(E) combined leverage: 3,26

Explanation:

\frac{Contribution \: Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = Contribution \: Margin \: Ratio

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

60 pounds sales price    =   $  15

60 pound cost: 60 x 0.15 =  $   9

Contribution Margin 6

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin} = Break\: Even\: Point_{units}

Fixed Cost 90,000

BEP units:   15,000

(B) profit at given level:

sales x margin - fixed cost = net profit

14,000 x 6 - 90,000  =  (6,000)

35,000 x 6 - 90,000 = 120,000

(C) operating leverage: change in EBIT / change in sales

income at 21,000 x 6 - 90,000 = 36,000

EBIT change:

120,000/36,000 = 3 + 1/3

Slaes change:

35,000/21,000 = 1 + 2/3

operating leverage:

(3 + 1/3) / (1 + 2/3) = 2

(d) financial leverage

<u>change in net income: </u>

(120,000 - 17,000) / (36,000 - 17,000)

103,000 / 19,000 = 103/19

<u>change in EBIT</u> 3 + 1/3 (already calculate

(103/19) / (3+1/3) = 1.626315789

(E) combined

2 x 1.626315789 = 3,252631578‬

Private solutions to correct for externalities consider the following scenario:________.
Charra [1.4K]

Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.

The type types of private solutions to the pollution externality which has occured is charity. This is because it is a voluntary activity. The money collected is meant for a specific objective which is to tackle the issue of pollution.

It is also vital to note that sometimes the private solutions to externalities might not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly.
