Answer:

Cost of goods available for sale=$1,640

Explanation:

To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, we need to first calculate the available units of inventory;

Available inventory=Inventory purchased-inventory sold

where;

Inventory purchased are as follows;

On June 1>>>>>purchased 410 units each at $8

On June 12>>>>purchased 820 units each at $9

On June 23>>>>purchased 615 units each at $10

Total inventory purchased=(410+820+615)=1,845 units

Inventory sold are as follows;

On June 15>>>>sold 902 units each at $11

On June 27>>>>sold 738 units each at $12

Total inventory sold=(902+738)=1,640 units

Available inventory=(1,845-1,640)=205 units

The cost of goods sold can be expressed as;

Cost of goods available for sale=Cost per unit×number of units

where;

Number of units of inventory=205

Cost per unit=least cost per unit=$8

replacing;

Cost of goods available for sale=(8×205)=1,640

Cost of goods available for sale=$1,640

The Coase theorem states that A) the private sector will fail to produce the efficient amount of a public good because of the fr
Sonja [21]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

One of the problems in economics is the allocation of goods in the presence of externalities. When externalities are present allocation of goods in private market won't be efficient because private parties won't internalize them and would arrive to an inefficient outcome. For many years this was an argument in favor of government intervention.

However, Ronald Coase showed that assigning property rights of the externality to one of the private parties (no matter which one) would result in an efficient outcome. This is because  the parties with the property right would then internalize the cost. Then in the bargaining process private parties would reach an efficient outcome without the intervention of the government.
