Some economists have argued that, because domestic consumers gain more from free trade than domestic producers gain from (import

) tariffs and quotas, consumers should buy out domestic producers and rid themselves of costly tariffs and quotas. If this was feasible, would you be in favor? If there is a net loss to society from tariffs, why do tariffs exist?

<u>The reason the tariffs exists:</u>

The shift from tariff along free trade increases the consumer surplus as compared to the decline in the producer surplus. By this consumers can compensate the producers for the loss they have faced.

However,there are various other problems in relation to the shift. Generally, there will be a transaction cost of tariff besides the producer's loss surplus. There are several non economic issues that stimulates local producers to go on with tariff instead of getting compensation for the economic loss.

Generally, tariffs are imposed for any one of the following reasons,

  • To protect newly established domestic industries from foreign competition.
  • To limit the number of imports.
  • To protect local producers from getting dumped by foreign companies.
  • To raise revenue.

Flextrola, Inc. , an electronics systems integrator, is planning to sell its next generation product using components sourced fr
DENIUS [597]

With a mean of 1000 and a standard deviation of 600, the probability that the demand is going to be withing 25 percent of its forecast is 0.3230.

a. Mean = 1000

sd = 600

p(1000x 1-25%) - p(1000x 1+25%)

using the z test

d-μ/σ

p(z < \frac{1250-1000}{600} )-p(z < \frac{-1000}{600} )\\\\(z < 0.4167)-(z < -0.4167)

find values using excel sheet formula

NORMSDIST(0.4167) - NORMSDIST(-0.4167)

=m0.6615 - 0.3385

= 0.3230

<h3>b. The probability that the forecast would be more than 40 percent</h3>

1000x 1+40%

= p(D>1400)

= 1- NormDist(0.667)

= 0.225

c. Cu = 121-72 = 49

Co = 72.50 = 22

The critical ratio calculation

49/22 +49 = 0.6901

Normsinv(0.6901) = 0.496

1000+0.496x600

= 1297

The units that Flextrola has to order is 1297.

<h3>d. The expected sales of Flextrola</h3>

1200-1000/600

= 0.3333

loss function from z = 0.333 is 0.254

600x0.254 = 152. 4

1000-152.4 = 847.6

the expected sales are 847.6

e 1200- 847.6

= 352. 4

The units of inventory that can be sold is 352.4

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Diluted earnings per share is $1.7 per share

Explanation:

The number of diluted  shares from the options is calculated thus

Total number of shares from options                                     34,500      

Actual number of shares that can be purchased

(options shares*option price/share market price)

(34,500*$11/$15)                                                                        (25,300)

Diluted shares                                                                           9,200

Diluted earnings per share=net income/(outstanding common stock + diluted common stock)

net income is $331,840

outstanding common stock is 186,000

diluted common stock is 9200

diluted earnings per share=$331,840/(186,000+9200)

                                            =$1.7 per share
