Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

A negative externality refers to the situation when the cost of production is borne by a third party which is not involved in the production process.

In case there is a negative externality present, the marginal social cost will be greater than the marginal private cost. The competitive price will be lower than the socially optimal price.

Since a third party partially bears the cost, the producer will be able to produce more than the optimal level. There will be a deadweight loss of social welfare.

$76,100 net operating loss

Explanation:

The computation of the overall company net operating income (loss) is shown below:

= East sales - east Variable costs - east Traceable fixed costs - east Allocated common corporate costs - west Allocated common corporate costs

= $550,000 - $198,000 - $169,500 - $117,500 - $141,100

= -$76,100 loss

Since the west division is eliminated so all the items would be ignored except Allocated common corporate costs

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

c. a significant amount of market power

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good to the changes in price of another good.

If the cross price elascitiy is postive, the goods are subsituites.

If the cross price elasticity is negative, the goods are complementary goods.

If the cross price elasticitiy is low the firm has market power. It means that it's consumers do not change the quantity demanded when the price of the good changes

If the cross price elasticitiy is high, the market has low market power.

I hope my answer helps you.
