Explanation:

The question isn't complete. Here is the full question:

A study finds that the noise from airplanes is harmful; hence, the government imposes a $20 tax on the sale of every airplane. This amount accurately accounts for the external cost of the noise pollution. Before the corrective tax, airplane tickets regularly sold for $190. After the tax is in place, the market price for airplane tickets rises to $200.

A firm selling airplane tickets receives after it pays the tax

The noise from the airplanes constitute negative externality.

Tax levied on negative externality is known as pigouvian tax.

As a result of the tax, the price of tickets increases and this would reduce the quantity of tickets demanded for according to the law of demand. According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

The social optimal price is the price of the ticket after the tax accounting for the externality has been added to price. The social optimal price is $200.

The private market price is the price before the taxes: $190.

The amount received by firms = $200 - $20 = $180

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Stock Y has overvalued and Stock Z as undervalued

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

For Stock Y

= 4.85% + 1.40 × 7.35%

= 4.85% + 10.29%

= 15.14%

For Stock Z

= 4.85% + 0.85 × 7.35%

= 4.85% + 6.2475%

= 11.0975%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium and the same is applied in the answer

As we see the expected return of both the stock So, Stock Y has overvalued and Stock Z as undervalued

A 15-year, annual coupon bond is priced at $984.56. The bond has a $1,000 face value and a yield to maturity of 6.5 percent. Wha

Bess [88]

Answer:

6.35%

Explanation:

you can use the yield to maturity formula to determine the coupon:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

0.065 = {coupon + [(1,000 - 984.56) / 15]} / [(1,000 + 984.56) / 2]

0.065 = {coupon + 1.029} / 992.28

64.4982 = coupon + 1.029

coupon = 63.47

coupon rate = 63.47 / 1,000 = 0.06347 = 6.35%
