Answer:

They are equal

Explanation:

Negative externality is when the benefits of economic activities to third parties is less than its costs.

A tax is levied on negative externality to reduce quantity produced to the social optimal quantity.

If the amount of tax is equal to the amount of total negative externality, then after-tax equilibrium quantity will be equal to social optimal quantity.

If the amount of tax is less than the amount is equal to the amount of total negative externality, then after-tax equilibrium quantity will be greater than the social optimal quantity.

If the amount of tax is greater than the amount is equal to the amount of total negative externality, then after-tax equilibrium quantity will be less than the social optimal quantity.

I hope my answer helps you

Answer:

They are equal

Explanation:

The relationship between the After-tax equilibrium quantity and the socially optimal quantity of electricity to be produced would be equal this is because the negative externality which is $5 is equal to the government imposed tax of $5 per-unit of electricity produced by the producers

since the equilibrium quantity produced by the producers already have a negative externality attached before the government imposed tax on the producers hence the socially optimal quantity would not be affected at all.

If  the tax imposed by the government is higher than the negative externality. the after-tax equilibrium quantity will be lower than the socially optimal quantity and vice versa

Ending total assets are $1,500,000, inventory turnover is 6.0 times, net sales are $8,000,000 and the asset turnover is 4.0 time
NARA [144]

Answer:

$2,500,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Ending assets = $1,500,000

Inventory turnover = 6.0 times

Net sales = $8,000,000

The computation of beginning total asset balance is shown below:-

Average total assets = $8,000,000 ÷ 4

= $2,000,000

Total assets = $2,000,000 × 2

= $4,000,000

Beginning assets  = Total assets - Ending assets

= $4,000,000  - 1,500,000

= $2,500,000

Therefore we applied the above formula
