Answer: a. less than the socially optimal​ price, greater than the socially optimal quantity

Explanation:

The steel mill is producing steel and selling at a rate that does not account for the pollution that it is causing. Because of this, it is selling at a lower equilibrium price than what it would had the Pollution been accounted for.

The Steel Mill is also selling quantity that is greater than what would be considered socially optimal because the socially optimal level would account for the pollution and adjust in such a way that the Pollution is minimized

scoray [572]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is $36,000.

Explanation:

Given information  -

Units anticipated to be produced - 300,000 units

Variable cost - $150,000

Fixed cost - $600,000

Beginning inventory - 5000 units

Ending inventory  - 7000 units

Income under absorption costing - $40,000

Now under the absorption costing, rate of fixed overhead cost per unit -

Fixed cost / Number of units produced

= $600,000 / 300,000

= $2

In April ( under absorption costing ), the amount of fixed manufacturing overhead cost that was still embedded in ending inventory but were not expense -  

Fixed overhead rate per unit x number of units produced but not sold

= $2 x 2000 ( 7000 units - 5000 units )

= $4000

So when we calculate the operating cost under variable costing this fixed overhead cost wold be subtracted from total income -

$40,000 - $4000

= $36,000 .
