Answer:

D. Integration of different types of businesses through merger or acquisition

Explanation:

Externalities occur when the production or consumption of a particular good or service affects a third-party who is not related to the transaction. A positive externality is one that is favorable and beneficial to the third party and a negative externality is one that is unfavorable and creates a cost to the third party. In this case, the third party is the owner of the cafe and it is a positive externality because the music creates an increase in the number of customers to his/her business.

When the jazz club owner purchases/acquires the cafe, the cafe becomes his. Hence, the benefit felt to the cafe by the music from the jazz club is a benefit that his own new business incurs. Thus, the integration of these two businesses into one helps internalize the positive externality since now the main party involved in the transaction is also the one feeling the positive externality and not a third-party as used to be.

Mila [183]

Answer:

a. $26,400

b. $20,520

c. $24,140.64

Explanation:

a. The computation of inventory cost by the first-in, first-out method is shown below:-

Inventory cost under first-in, first-out method = Number of units × Unit cost of 3rd purchase

= 48 × $550

= $26,400

b. The computation of inventory cost by the last-in, first-out method is shown below:-

Inventory cost by Last in first out method = (Jan 1 units × Jan 1 Inventory per unit) + (Number of units - Jan 1 units) × Feb. 19 Inventory per unit

= (26 × $400) + (48 - 26) × $460

= $10,400 + $10,120

= $20,520

c. The computation of inventory cost by the average cost method is shown below:-

Average cost per unit = (26 × $400) + (57 × $460) + (62 × $540) + (60 × $550)

= $10,400 + $26,220 + $33,480 + $33,000

= $103,100

Per unit cost = Inventory cost ÷ Total number of units

= $103,100 ÷ (26 + 57 + 62 + 60)

= $103,100 ÷ 205

= $502.93

Inventory cost under average cost method = Per unit cost × Number of units

= 48 × $502.93

= $24,140.64

Therefore we have applied the formulas.

Which of the following best describes equilibrium?
QveST [7]

Answer:

C. A situation where no economic agent would benefit by changing his or her behavior

Explanation:

An economic equilibrium is when the agents are optimizing their decisions and opposing market forces are equal. This point allows the economic agents to maximize their utility and any change from this point will cause all agents to move away from potential maximum benefits.

In a natural equilibrium there is usually no government intervention so option A is false. Option B gives only one agent potential benefits and as such there is no equilibrium. Option D is conditional and may or may not happen as when the agents find missing information they would optimize again and move to an equilibrium.

Hope that helps.
