Answer:

Like the title of the article states, all economy relayed choices are the results of an incentive or disincentive a potential polluter faces. He gave the example of the Lake Erie, stating that is highly reasonable (although highly unethical) it is polluted, as it is financially efficient to simply dump garbage in the lake, rather than invest in a recycling or waste management system. He also added, that since the lake is a public good, no one will look at the pollution as a serious concern, since it isn't owned by anybody.

All of this implies that a structured, incentive system has to be created in order to curb pollution.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

236.25

Explanation:

Calculation to determine X

First step is to calculate the 6 months Yield

6 month Yield=(40/40+20) (80/40+20) (157.60/80+80)+1)

6 month Yield=(40/60) (80/60) (157.60/160)-1

6 month Yield=5%

Second step is to calculate the Annual equivalent

Annual equivalent=(1.05)^2-1

Annual equivalent=10.25%

Third step is to calculate the 1 year yield

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/40+20) (175/80+80) (x/175+75)

1 year yield=(40/50) (80/60) (175/160) (x/250)-1

1 year yield=0.1025

Now Let calculate X

x(0.004667)=1+.1025

x(0.004667)=1.1025

x=1.1025/0.004667

x=236.25

Therefore X is 236.25

Answer:

Net Income understated by $20,000

Explanation:

In the first year, closing inventory was overstated by $80,000. The implications of the above would be,

Net Income for the first year would be overstated by $80,000

In the Second year,

Opening Stock would be overstated by $80,000

Due to this, cost of production stands overstated by $80,000.

Now, given in the question that closing stock for second year is overstated by $60,000 i.e profits are overstated by $60,000.

This means, the net effect on profits would be, $80,000 less $60,000 i.e $20,000 understated profits for the second year.
