Answer:

$20,670

Explanation:

                                               Firm A                   Firm B

Actual Dumping                         157                        183

Pollution Permits Allotted          <u> 11  </u>                        <u>  11  </u>

Reduction Required                   146                        172

Cost of Dumping 1 ton              $160                      $65

As the cost of dumping to Firm A is $160 which is higher than the marginal cost of dumping of Firm B which is $65, so it is better that Firm B take benefit from it by selling it at $65. So now total tons require dumping is 318 tons (146 + 172).

Total cost of reducing pollution = 318 tons * $65 = $20,670

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Data given

Cash and cash equivalents $760 $77

Accounts receivables net $2,080 $1,890

Inventory $830 $810

Other current assets $440 $433

Total current assets $4,110 $3,210

Total current liabilities $2,100 $1,590

Net credit sales $8,258

Cost of goods sold $5,328

1. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

= 4,110/2,100

= 1.96

2. Accounts receivable turnover = Credit sales/Average accounts receivables

= 8,258÷ [(2,080+1,890)/2]

= 8,258 ÷ 1,985

= 4.16 times

3. Average collection period = Average accounts receivables/Credit sales × 365 days

= (1,985/8,258) × 365

= 87.7 days

4. Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average inventory

= 5,328/[830 + 810)/2]

= 5,328/820

= 6.5 times

5. Days in inventory = Average inventory/Cost of goods sold × 365

= (820/5,328) × 365

= 56.2 days

Bad White [126]

Answer:

The correct answer is "$ 30.34".

Explanation:

The value of the stock can be computed by the following formula:

⇒  \frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 3}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)2}  + \frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 4}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)3}  + \frac{Dividend \ in \ year \ 5}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate) 4 } + \frac{1}{(1 + Required \ return \ rate)4 }\times [\frac{( Dividend \ in \ year \ 5 (1 + Growth \ rate)} {( Required \ return \ rate - Growth \ rate)}]

On putting the values, we get

⇒  \frac{1.50}{1.08^2}  + \frac{1.60}{1.08^3}  + \frac{1.75}{1.08^4 } + \frac{1}{1.08^4} \times [  \frac{( 1.75\times 1.03)}{(0.08 - 0.03)}]

⇒  \frac{1.50}{1.08^2 } + \frac{1.60}{ 1.08^3 } + \frac{37.80}{ 1.08^4  }

⇒  30.34 ($)
