Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

In an unregulated market, negative externality results in a higher social marginal cost than the firm marginal cost because this market is not properly regulated by the government officials. Hence, these firms are not taking into account the effect of negative externalities in their cost.

We know that the consumer's decision is more offenly based on the point where the marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit because they are not taking the impact of negative externalities.

If proper action is not taken by the government, negative externality will result in a market inefficiencies.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

9.0%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the WACC for this firm

First step

Common stock=284,000 × $68

Common stock= $19,312,000

Second step is to calculate the Preferred stock

Preferred stock=9,000 × $88

Preferred stock= $792,000

Debt= 7,500 × .979 × $1,000

Debt = $7,342,500

Value = $19,312,000 + 792,000 + $7,342,500

Value= $27,446,500

Second step

RE = .041 + 1.04(.146-.041)

RE= .1502

RE = ($2.62 /$68) + .025

RE= .0635

Average RE = (.1502+ .0635)/2

Average RE = .1069

RP = $8/$88

RP = .0909

Fourth step

$979 = [(.068 × $1,000) / 2] × ({1- 1 / [1 + (r/ 2)]22} / (r / 2)) + $1,000 / [1 + (r / 2)]22

r = 7.08 %

Now let calculate the WACC

WACC = ($19,312,000/$27,446,500)(.1069) + ($792,000/$27,446,500)(.0909) + ($7,342,500/$27,446,500)(.0708)(1 -.34)

WACC= .090*100

WACC=9.0 %

Therefore the WACC for this firm is 9.0%

MW Company manufactures down-filled comforters and uses an activity-based costing system. During the current period, the company

Scilla [17]

Answer:

MW Company

Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660

= $82 per order

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production = 16,500 units

Direct labor = 19,800 hours

Machine hours = 21,450 hours

No. of orders = 660

No. of shipments = 165

Order-processing cost pool = $54,120

Shipping cost pool = $14,025

Assembly cost pool = $71,280

Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660

= $82 per order

b) MW Company uses an activity-based costing system to identify its activities into cost pools and assign the cost of each activity pool to the products and services according to their actual consumption of the activities. The activity-based costing technique provides a more accurate method for determining the costs of products and services. As a more accurate method for pricing decisions than other traditional methods, activity-based costing technique increases management's understanding of overheads and cost drivers and makes activities that are costly and non-value adding to become more visible, allowing managers to reduce or eliminate them, because these activities add costs to the production system.
