Suppose that in an attempt to induce citizens to conserve energy, the government enacts regulations requiring all air conditione

rs to be more efficient in their use of electricity. After the regulation was implemented, government officials were surprised to discover that people were using even more electricity than before. How is this possible?
(A) Because the regulation effectively reduced the price of cool air, consumers with sufficiently elastic demand might have bought substantially more of it.

(B) There is no way the observed change could have occurred if all consumers were fully informed, self-interested, and rational.

(C) The government ignored the possibility that the demand curve for electricity might be upward sloping.

(D) In practice, people often pay little attention to the relevant costs and benefits when deciding how much of a good, like electricity, to use.

Answer:

(A) Because the regulation effectively reduced the price of cool air, consumers with sufficiently elastic demand might have bought substantially more of it.

Explanation:

If the demand for energy services remains constant, improving energy efficiency will reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. However, many efficiency improvements do not reduce energy consumption by the amount provided by simple engineering models. This is because they make energy services cheaper and therefore increases the consumption of those services.

For example, since low-fuel vehicles make travel cheaper, consumers can choose to drive further, thus offsetting some of the possible energy savings. Similarly, an extensive historical analysis of improvements in technological efficiency has conclusively demonstrated that improvements in energy efficiency were almost always overcome by economic growth, which resulted in a net increase in resource use and associated contamination.

Stones Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours to apply overhead to the manufacturing process. Las
likoan [24]

Answer: $5 per machine hour

Explanation:

Given the following :

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost = $550,000

Expected machine-hour to be incurred = 110,000

Actual manufacturing overhead = $575,000

Actual machine hour incurred = 120,000

The manufacturing overhead application rate:

Expected manufacturing overhead cost / Expected machine hour to be incurred

= $550,000 / 110,000 machine hour

= $5 per machine hour

he Talley Corporation had a taxable income of $345,000 from operations after all operating costs but before (1) interest charges
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

(a) The firm's Income tax liability is $59,771.25.

(b) The firm's after-tax income is $233,478.75.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows

The Talley Corporation had a taxable income of $345,000 from operations after all operating costs but before (1) interest charges of $69,000, (2) dividends received of $17,250, (3) dividends paid of $20,700, and (4) income taxes. Its federal tax rate was 21% (ignore any possible state corporate taxes). Recall 50% of dividends received are tax exempt. What are the firm's income tax liability and its after-tax income?

The explanation to the anwer is now given as follows:

Adjusted taxable income = Income after operation - Interest charges + Taxable dividend received ................. (1)

Where;

Income after operation = $345,0000

Interest charges = $69,000

Taxable dividend received = 50% * $17,250 = $8,625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Adjusted taxable income = $345,000 - $69,000 + $8,625 = $284,625

(a) Income tax liability = Adjusted taxable income *  Tax rate = $284,625 * 21% = $59,771.25

(b) After-tax income = (Adjusted taxable income - Income tax liability) + (50% of dividend received) = ($284,625 - $59,771.25) +  (50% * $17,250) = $224,853.75 + $8,625 = $233,478.75

The marketing staff wants to supply pens with attached USB drives to clients. In the past this client has been victimized by soc
Firdavs [7]

Answer: C. The security risks associated with combining USB drives and cell phones on a network

D. The risks associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature

Explanation:

Based on the scenario that has been discussed in the question, the security administrator will instructs the marketing staff not to supply the USB pens based on the security risks that are associated with combining USB drives and cell phones on a network.

Another reason is due to the risks that are associated with the large capacity of USB drives and their concealable nature.

Since the client has been victimized by social engineering attacks that led to a loss of sensitive data in the past, they'll be extra careful this time around.

Talja [164]

Answer:

                       Transactions        Units        Unit Cost   Total Cost

a. Inventory, Beginning               4,000             $ 20      80,000

b. Purchase, March 5                  10,000              21        210,000

c. Purchase, September 19          6,000             23        138,000

d. Sale, April 15                             4,500            65         292500

e. Sale, October 31                        9,000            68        612000

f. Operating expenses  $615,000

Ending Inventory Units 6,500

Cost of Good Available for Sale = 80,000+ 210,000+ 138,000= $428,000

The number of units in ending inventory = Beginning + Purchases - Sales

                                                     =4000+ 10,000+ 6000- 4,500- 9,000

                                                     = 6500

FIFO  cost of ending inventory $ 148500

6,000 units at $ 23 =$138,000

500 units at $ 21= $ 10500

FIFO  cost of goods sold = Sales - FIFO Ending Inventory

                                      = $ 904500- $ 148500= $ 756000

LIFO  cost of ending inventory $ 132500

4,000 units at $ 20 =$80,000

2500 units at $ 21= $ 52500

LIFO  cost of goods sold = Sales - LIFO Ending Inventory

                                      = $ 904500- $ 132500= $ 772000

Weighted  cost of ending inventory = ($428,000/20,000)*6500= $ 139100

Weighted cost of goods sold = Sales - Weighted  Ending Inventory

                                              =$ 904500-$ 139100= $765400

Scoresby Inc. tracks

<u>Operating expenses  $615,000         $615,000              $615,000 </u>

Net Loss                   (466,500)            (482,500)            (475,900)

4.LIFO minimizes taxes as it gives the lowest gross profit assigning the oldest values to ending inventory.
