Answer:

The correct answer is C. 15$.

Explanation:

The marginal or incremental cost in decision making means effect that company have on its financial statement if the option under consideration is choosen.

In the above question the company will have to pay 9$ dollars to the seventh worker plus it has to increase pay of its six existing workers by 1$ per hour. So marginal wage cost is (9+6)= 15.

Answer:

With mitigation: NPV =$36,670,000, IRR= 15,24%

Without mitigation: NPV= $ 42,000,000, IRR= 19,86%

Explanation:

To calculate the Net Present Value (NPV) we have to sum the present value of a project´s cash flows (positive and negative cashflows). To do so, we need: the number of periods of the project, the discount rate, cost of captal  or WACC, and the future values of the cash flows. Then we apply the formula attached.

To calculate the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) we have to find the discount rate, cost of capital or WACC that makes the NPV equal to cero. That means we have to find a rate in which the investor do not create or destroy value, only recovers the investment. I attached the formula.

But, this is better if we use excel:

First we copy the cash flows of the two projects. To find the NPV we use the financial formula "NPV" in this way:

"=NPV(rate;cash flows from year 1 to year 5)+ cash flow of year 0"

To find the IRR we use the financial formula "IRR" in this way:

"=IRR(cash flows from year 0 to year 5)"

I attached the excel figure.

meriva

Answer:

$6,540

Explanation:

Given:

accounts receivable of $238,000

allowance for uncollectable accounts of $600 (credit)

Also, the allowance for uncollectible accounts should be 3% of accounts receivable.

Therefore the amount of the adjustment for uncollectible accounts would be

= 3% of $238,000 - $600= $(7140-600)= $6,540

When the elasticity of demand for a product is __________ the elasticity of supply, consumers pay __________ of the tax on the p
mezya [45]

When the elasticity of demand for a product is smaller than the elasticity of supply, consumers pay majority of the tax on the product.

The way the tax burden is distributed between purchasers and sellers is known as the tax incidence.

The relative price elasticity of supply and demand determines the tax incidence.

Usually, both the producers and the consumers of the taxed goods bear the incidence, or burden, of the tax.

But all we have to do is look at the elasticity of demand and supply to determine which group will be carrying the bulk of the load.

The majority of the tax burden falls on consumers when supply is more elastic than demand.

The majority of the tax burden falls on the producers when demand is more elastic than supply.

The less elastic the demand and supply are, the higher the tax revenue.

Hence, When the elasticity of demand for a product is smaller than the elasticity of supply, consumers pay majority of the tax on the product.

Settings alzania produces and consumes​ 500,000 tons of cotton during a year. Reports indicate that​ alzania's neighbor, which a
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: C- Alzania's neighbor exported half its production of cotton that year

Explanation: Alzania produces and consumes​ 500,000 tons of cotton during a year. While, the neighbor which also employs the same number of people in the cotton​ industry, consumed​ 400,000 tons of cotton. There is no information on production of the neighbor. Just by looking at the consumption units we can argue that Alzania has an absolute advantage over the neighbor as it consumes more. However, if there is any information on the amount of exports of cotton from the neighbor then it will weaken the absolute advantage conclusion.

Thus, if <em>Alzania's neighbor exported half its production of cotton that year </em>the total production of cotton is greater of the neighbor than Alzania.

Billie Jean has $120 to spend and wants to buy either a new amplifier for her guitar or a new mp3 player to listen to music whil
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

B) people face trade offs

Explanation:

Resources are scarce, and that applies to every person and every organization in the world. Even the richest person or richest organization has a certain finite amount of money, time and other resources. For example, if we decide to work 12 hours a day, we will make more money, but we will also have less time o do other activities that we like.

In this case, Billie Jean only has $120 and she wants to buy both products, but she can only buy one. Whatever product she decides to buy will leave her with $0, so if she wants to purchase the other product she will need to find a job and earn some money, or if she already has a job, she will need to work more hours.
