Answer:
a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?
So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.
c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.
This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.
d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?
Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.
Answer: The correct answer is c. increase in Discount on Notes Payable for $2,100.
Explanation: 6% of $35,000 for a year is $2,100. From the facts in the question, the Bank deducted the interest in advance, this means the net cash York Construction Company got was $35,000 - 2,100 = $32,900 but note that this does not change the principal amount obligation the Company is obliged to pay the bank, which remains $35,000. What the Company needs to do is to recognize the $35,000 as Notes Payable (Debit Cash and Credit Notes Payable) and recognize a Discount on Notes Payable of $2100 (Debit Discount on Notes Payable and Credit to Cash). Subsequently, based on the 1-year tenor, the Company would unwind the discount to finance charge / interest expense as $2,100 / 12 = $175 monthly (Debit Interest expense; Credit Discount on Notes Payable).
