Answer:

The external cost is the full price of the bottle ($5.50) plus all the other external costs that are born by the people affected by the chemical.

These external costs are: the health costs because of the lower quality of life that the people with respiratory problems have, and the costs for the healthcare systems, due to an increasing number of patients.

Two firms, A and B, each currently emit 100 tons of chemicals into the air. The government has decided to reduce the pollution a
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

20 more tons of pollution into the air, and Firm B will emit 100 fewer tons of pollution into the air.

Explanation:

It is given that :

Amount of tons of pollutants emitted by the two firms A and B earlier = 100 tons

Cost of pollutants by firm A = $ 200 per ton of pollutions

Cost of pollutants by firm B = $ 100 per ton of pollutions

Since the cost for eliminating the pollutants into the air is more for the firm A, the ticket is also more valuable for firm A. And therefore, firm A will buy all the tickets form firm B for an amount around $ 101 to $ 199. It will do so as to have a positive consumer and also to produce surplus.

So firm A will eliminate 20 tons of pollution and will use 80 ton capacity from the tickets. And for firm B, it will eliminate all 100 tons of pollutions.

The interest of the note will ge accrued with the past of time. Currently no interest was earned, so we don't have to post anything related to the interest of the note.

We just write-off the account receivable of the customer and declare how we settle.

Kelly's Corner Bakery purchased a lot in Oil City six years ago at a cost of $98,700. Today, that lot has a market value of $128
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The $623,100 is the amount which  should be used as the initial cash flow for this project

Explanation:

The computation of the initial cash flow is shown below:

= Estimated cost of a new facility on the site + market value of a lot

= $494,200 + $128,900

= $623,100

The asset value should be recorded in the market value so we took the estimated cost and the market value in the calculation part.

The other cost which is given in the question is irrelevant. Thus, it is not considered in the computation part.
