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

Answer:

Rate of return is 13.2%

Explanation:

Rate of Return is the actual return that an investor receives from an investment in asset during a specific period of time. If the investment is made in the stocks, It includes the dividend received and the price change of the stock.

Total return Received = Dividend + Price change = $1.87 + ($37.75 - 35 ) = $4.62

Rate of Return = Total return During the period / Initial Price of the stock

Rate of Return = $4.62 / $35 = 0.132 = 13.2%

A buyer with a 15-year, $250,000 loan at a 5.5% interest rate has a monthly principal and interest payment totaling $2,042.71. W
lorasvet [3.4K]

<u>Given:</u>

Loan amount = $250000

Interest rate = 5.5%

Interest payment = $2042.71

<u>To find:</u>

Total amount of interest

<u>Solution:</u>

The total number of months in 15 years = 15\times12=180\text{ years }

Total monthly payments will be 180\times \$2042.71 = \$367687.8

So, the total pay-backs will be $3,67,687.8

Total interest paid will be as follows,

\text{Total interest paid = Total pay-backs - Loan amount}

On plugging-in the values in the above formula we get,

\Rightarrow \$3,67,687.8-\$250,000=\$1,17,687.80

Therefore, the total amount of interest that the borrower will pay over the course of the loan is $1,17,687.80.

By shutting​ down, a firm A. stops receiving revenue and is stuck with its fixed costs. B. can avoid paying taxes on its previou
wel

Answer:

option A

Explanation: A firm cannot avoid paying taxes on previous profits as these profits were earned before the shutting down period and generally the taxes on profits for current period  are paid at a later period. Thus option B is incorrect.

.

Revenue is the total income that a business gets from its normal operations and variable cost is the cost that changes with the level of output. Thus, there will be no revenue and also variable cost.  Hence option C is incorrect.

.

Sunk cost are the costs that cannot be recovered and are already been incurred.So a company can avoid its variable cost by shutting down but not its   sunk cost. Hence option D is incorrect.

.

Fixed costs are the costs that are independent of the level of output. Therefore, a company after shutting down will not receive revenue but will have to bear fixed cost. Hence option A is correct.
