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.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer and Explanation:

1. At 0fficial exchange rate:

100 * 0.5 = $50

what I want to buy would be purchased at $50

at market exchange rate:

0.25 x 100 = $25

products bought from this place are not a good deal as I am paying more than the market exchange rate.

2. at equilibrium exchange rate:

100 x 0.25% = $25

the price is $25

3. from answers 1 and 2, I will not want demand Stan's rupees. the products are costly to get.

Ginny Trueblood is considering an investment which will cost her $120,000. The investment produces no cash flows for the first y
velikii [3]

Answer:

The project should be rejected as the payback period of 3.97 years exceeds the required 3 years. So, the correct option is E

Explanation:

The table showing the discounted cash flows of each year:

Computing discounted payback as:

Discounted Payback = Number of years + (Initial Cost - Discounted Cash flow of year 1 + Discounted Cash flow of year 2 + Discounted Cash flow of year 3 / Discounted Cash flow of year 4)

= 3 + ($120,000 - $0 - $28,925.62  - $41,322.31  / $51,226.01)

= 3 + ($49,752.07 / $51,226.01)

= 3 + 0.97

= 3.97

Working Note:

Discounted Cash Flow is computed as:

Discounted cash flow = Cash Flow / (1 + r) ^ n

where

r is rate of return that is 10%

n is number of year

So,

For 1st year:

= $0 / (1 + 0.1) ^1

= $0

For 2nd year:

= $35,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 2

= $35,000 / 1.21

= $28,925.61

For 3rd year:

= $55,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 3

= $55,000 / 1.331

= $41,322.31

For 4th year:

= $75,000 / (1 + 0.1) ^ 4

= $75,000 / 1.4641

= $51,226.01

Jason and Paula are married. They file a joint return for 2020 on which they report taxable income before the QBI deduction of $
mote1985 [20]

Answer: $28940

Explanation:

Their QBI deduction for the year goes thus:

Jason's QBI amount will be:

= $173000 × 20%

= $173000 × 0.2

= $34600

Paula's QBI amount will be:

= $28,300× 20%

= ($5660)

Therefore, their combined qualified business income will be:

= $34600 - $5660

= $28940

The overall limitation which is based on th modified taxable income will be:

= $247000 × 20%

= $49400

Since $28940 is lesser than $49400, their QBI deduction for the year is $28940
