A coase solution to a problem of externality ensures that a socially efficient outcome is to maximize the joint welfare, irrespective of the right of ownership.

Explanation:

In law and in economics the Coase theorem explains the economic efficiencies in the existence of externalities. The economic efficiency of economic allocation or outcome. In practice, barriers to negotiation or poorly defined rights of property can prevent coasean negotiations.

The private external solutions include, for the benefit of the relevant parties, moral codes, charities and business fusions and contracts. In the theorem, two parties can bargain and obtain an optimal outcome in the presence of an externality when transaction cost is low.

Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $5.29 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $79.83

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

10.03%

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount formula, find the cost of equity; r

$r = \frac{D1}{P0} +g$

whereby,

D1 = Next year's dividend = 5.29

P0 = Current price of the stock = 79.83

g = growth rate of dividends = 3.40% or 0.034 as a decimal

Next, plug in the numbers to the formula above;

$r = \frac{5.29}{79.83} +0.034\\ \\ r =0.06627 + 0.034\\ \\ =0.10027$

As a percentage, r = 10.03%

Therefore, the company's cost of equity is 10.03%

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

$30,900

Explanation:

The beginning finished goods is $15,400

Raw materials purchased is $18,800

The cost of goods manufactured is $34,100

Ending finished goods is $18,600

Therefore the cost of gods can be calculated as follows

= 15,400+34,100-18,600

= 30,900

Hence the cost of goods sold by the company is $30,900

The country of Alaine produces 1,000 tons of corn during a year. It is valued at $500 per ton. A lobbyist for the corn industr

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

D. Corn is not used in the production of other goods.

Explanation:

D is the only option that can be an argument for the total value of the corn produced to be included as corn for the same year in the GDP.

This is due to the fact that only the final production is recorded in the GDP, this means that no goods are registered that are going to be part of other productive processes (generally raw materials) since double accounting would be incurred.

If for example, corn were part of another productive process and this productive process begins next year, that part of the corn used to produce that good would be included in the GDP of the year in which the product will be produced (the one that corn is used in the production).

This means that the lobbyist can only rely on option D (include all the value of corn for the year in which it was produced) if in this country the corn is not part of another productive process.
