A firm can produce steel with or without a filter on its smokestack. If it produces without a filter, the external costs on the

community are $ 500,000 per year. If it produces with a filter, there are no external costs on the community, and the firm will incur an annual fixed cost of $ 300,000 for the filter. Use the Coase Theorem to answer how costless bargaining will lead to a socially efficient outcome, if the property rights are owned by the community. A. the community will have an incentive to pay the firm some price above $ 300,000 (perhaps $ 499,999) to induce the firm to install the filter. B. The firm would install the filter at a cost of $ 300,000. C. the socially efficient outcome is for the firm to not install the filter

Answer:  B. The firm would install the filter at a cost of $ 300,000.

Explanation:

If the community owns the property rights, they would be able to demand that the firm pay the external cost of $500,000 per year.

If on the other hand the company installed a filter, it would cost them $300,000 but then they would not have to pay the community the $500,000.

The lower cost option would be to install the filter for $300,000 which is what the firm would do.

After researching about your company, I felt it most expedient to get in touch with Mr. Firestone as I believe this is business he will be interested in. We offer perks that are unmatched in the industry".

For instance,

" Having been in the chemical industry myself, I know such an opportunity does not come often and I really do guarantee that we give the best benefits in the industry. If you can, just let me talk to Mr. Firestone, I promise that neither of you will regret it".

If it still doesn't work, ask for a convenient time you can call back.

Below is information from the financial statements of Greenwich Company: Accounts receivable (net) 2016: $2,400 Accounts receiva
ra1l [238]

Answer:

32.44 days

Explanation:

The computation of the average collection period is shown below:

But before that we have to determine the account receivable turnover ratio

So, the account receivable turnover ratio is

= (net sales) ÷ (average of account receivables)

= $25,875 ÷ ($2,400 + $2,200) ÷ 2

= $25,875 ÷ $2,300

= 11.25 times

Now the average collection period is

= Total no of days in a year ÷ account receivable turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 11.25

= 32.44 days

We assume that the no of days that should be considered is 365 days
