Last year all refuse collected by Shelbyville city services was incinerated. This incineration generated a large quantity of res

idual ash. In order to reduce the amount of residual ash Shelbyville generates this year to half of last year's total, the city has revamped its collection program. This year city services will separate for recycling enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated to half of last year's number.
Which of the following is required for the revamped collection program to achieve its aim?


(A) This year, no materials that city services could separate for recycling will be incinerated.
(B) Separating recyclable materials from materials to be incinerated will cost Shelbyville less than half what it cost last year to dispose of the residual ash.
(C) Refuse collected by city services will contain a larger proportion of recyclable materials this year than it did last year.
(D) The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residual ash per truckload incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year.
(E) The total quantity of refuse collected by Shelbyville city service's this year will be no greater than that collected last year.

Answer:

D) The refuse incinerated this year will generate no more residual ash per truckload incinerated than did the refuse incinerated last year.  IF THE WHOLE POINT OF THE PROGRAM IS TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF RESIDUAL ASH, THEN IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK IF CUTTING THE TRUCKLOADS OF WASTE BY HALF ACTUALLY CUTS RESIDUAL ASH BY HALF.  

Explanation:

Other options are wrong because:

  • A) This year, no materials that city services could separate for recycling will be incinerated.  THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM IS TO REDUCE RESIDUAL ASH TO HALF, AND THAT COULD BE ACHIEVED EVEN IF SOME RECYCLABLE MATERIALS WERE BURNT.
  • B) Separating recyclable materials from materials to be incinerated will cost Shelbyville less than half what it cost last year to dispose of the residual ash.  THE QUESTION DOESN'T DEAL WITH THE COSTS OF RECYCLING OR INCINERATION.
  • C) Refuse collected by city services will contain a larger proportion of recyclable materials this year than it did last year.  THIS CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, SO IT DOESN'T SERVE AS A PARAMETER.
  • E) The total quantity of refuse collected by Shelbyville city service's this year will be no greater than that collected last year. THIS CANNOT BE CONTROLLED BY THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT, SO IT DOESN'T SERVE AS A PARAMETER.

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

Cutting the number of truckloads of refuse in half must reduce the amount of residual ash by half of last year's level. However, if the removal of the recycled refuse does not proportionately reduce the amount of ash, this will not happen.

So, the answer D states a requirement for the collection program to achieve its aim.

XYZ Company had 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, 2020. On July 1, 2021, XYZ issued an additional 44,00
-Dominant- [34]

The XYZ Company's basic earnings per share are $0.71, while the diluted earnings per share are $0.72.

Data and Calculations:

Outstanding Common stock shares on Dec. 31, 2020 = 200,000 shares

July 1, 2021, Issuance of 44,000 shares

Total outstanding common stock

January 1, 2021, Issuance of 16,000 convertible preferred stock

Par value of preferred stock = $100 per share

The Dividend rate of preferred stock = 6%

Convertibility of preferred stock = 8 common shares

Net income = $270,000

Preferred dividend = $96,000 ($1,600,000 x 6%)

Earnings for common stockholders = $174,000 ($270,000 - $96,000)

Basic earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred Dividend)/244,000

= ($174,000)/244,000

= $0.71

Convertible Preferred into Common stock = 128,000 (16,000 x 8) shares

Total shares = 372,000 (244,000 + 128,000)

Diluted earnings per share = $270,000/372,000

= $0.73

A firm sells a product in a purely competitive market. The marginal cost of the product at the current output of 200 units is $4
posledela

Answer:

D. Should Shut Down

Explanation:

A perfect competition firm is at profit maximising equilibrium where : Marginal Revenue [Price] = Marginal Cost .

If MR > MC : Firm's additional production is profitable, it tends to increase production. If MR < MC : Firm's additional production is loss making, it tends to decrease production.

However, If firm's Price i.e MR < Average Variable Cost : The firm's per unit price is even unable to cover it's per unit average variable cost. This situation is referred to as 'Shut Down' point & firm should close down its production in the case.

Given : MR = P = 3 ; MC = 4 ; AVC = 3.5 . The firm's price P (3) is not only lesser by its Marginal Cost MC (4), to decrease production ; but also lesser than its Average Variable Cost AVC (3.5) . So, the firm should shut down.
