Answer: The efficient outcome is to have the security system installed. After the meeting the security system will <em><u>be installed</u></em>, which illustrates the <em><u>free rider problem.</u></em>
Free rider is the burden on resource which is been shared, the problem is created by its usage or over-exploitation by individual who aren't paying their fair share.
∴ Here Tom is a free rider. i.e. He is willing to pay $100 where he should've paid $250.
Who pays the tax does NOT depend on who write the check to the government.
Who pays the check ultimately depend on the elasticity of supply and demand. This is because, suppliers have several ways of passing the taxes levied on them by the government to the consumers in form of increase in price of their products. But this also depend on the elasticity of the products, because if the prices are too high, some customers may decide to buy somewhere else or to go for a substitute.<span />
Answer: 2%
Explanation:
As the coupon payments are semi-annual, you need to convert the other measures to semi-annual measures as well.
Coupon rate = 6%/2 = 3% per semi annum
Coupon payment = 3% * 1,000 which is par value = $30
Time to maturity = 12 * 2 = 24 semi annual periods
Price is still the same = $1,189.14
You can use an Excel worksheet to solve for the Yield:
Number of periods = 24
Payment = $30
PV = 1,189.14
FV is par value of $1,000
Periodic rate is 0.019999
= 2%
Answer:
A. $650 $750 $677
Explanation:
period purchases sales
1 20 units at $50 15 units at $60
2 35 units at $40 35 units at $45
3 85 units at $30 85 units at $35
total revenue = $900 + $1,575 + $2,975 = $5,450
COGS:
- using FIFO = (15 x $50) + (5 x $50) + (30 x $40) + (5 x $40) + (80 x $30) = $4,800
- using LIFO = (15 x $50) + (35 x $40) + (85 x $30) = $4,700
- cost average = ($4,950 / 140 units) x 135 units = $4,773.21
Gross profit:
- using LIFO = $5,450 - $4,800 = $650
- using FIFO = $5,450 - $4,700 = $750
- using cost average = $5,450 - $4,773.21 = $676.79 ≈ $677
