Answer:

b. The demand curve does not reflect the value to society of the good.

Explanation:

An externality is a financial term alluding to an expense or advantage caused or got by an outsider. Nonetheless, the outsider has no power over the making of that cost or advantage.

An externality can either be positive or negative which can be caused by either production or consumption of a good or service. The cost or the benefit can affect an individual or a society as a whole. A typical example of a negative externality is pollution which can cause negative cost to a third party in terms of health expenses. An example of a positive externality on the other hand is when a well educated labor force increase their productivity.

The government and local authorities can control negative externality by imposing taxes and regulation of these products. The government can also overcome negative externality by imposing subsidies on the goods that improve positive externality.

The demand curve however does not reflect the value to society of the good. It only reflects the relationship between the price and the quantity of goods consumed.

Jim Busby calls his broker to inquire about purchasing a bond of Disk Storage Systems. The broker quotes a price of $1,180. Jim

Dimas [21]

Answer:

Jim Busby and Bonds of Disk Storage Systems

The new price of the bond is:

= $21,059

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quoted price of bond = $1,180

Face value of bond = $1,000

Coupon interest rate = 14%

Bond's maturity period = 25 years

Current yield to maturity = 12%

Therefore, new price of the bond is computed as follows:

Bond Price = C* (1-(1+r)-n/r ) + F/(1+r)n

where C = Periodic coupon payment = $140 ($1,000 * 14%)

• F = Face / Par value of bond = $1,000

• r = Yield to maturity (YTM) = 12% and

• n = No. of periods till maturity = 25 years

= $140 * (1 – (1+0.12)^-25)/0.12 +$1000/(1+0.12)^25

= $140 * (1 - -17.00)/0.12 + $1,000/17.00

= $140 * (18.00)/0.12 + $1,000/17.00

= $140 * 150 + $59

= $21,000 + $59

= $21,059

earnstyle [38]

Question Completion with Answer Options:

A. Yes, according to the terms of her contract.

B. Yes, according to the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

C. No, according to the at-will termination provision in her contract.

D. No, because subsequent conduct of the parties modified the contract.

Answer:

Fountain Valley, Inc. and Alice

B. Yes, according to the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

Explanation:

Alice is entitled to the bonus of $10,000 because the duty of good faith and fair dealing requires Fountain Valley not to deny Alice the benefits arising from their valid contract. Since Alice's employment contract included a 5% bonus of all sales in excess of the previous 12 months' sales, the Fountain Valley, Inc. should not deny Alice's claim to the benefits.

b) Employment contract terms = $78,000/year plus 5% bonus of all sale in excess of the previous 12 months' sales. The value of sales in 2017 is $200,000 more than in 2016. 5% of $200,000 = $10,000. Therefore, Alice is entitled to the bonus.

March: 8,550 $14,979

February: 7,490 $13,495

April: 8,195 $14,490

To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (14,979 - 13,495) / (8,550 - 7,490)

Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit
