Elodia [21]3 years ago

An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved.  For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Neutrino Industries must sell <u>8.68 million shares</u> to raise $400 million.

Explanation:

To calculate this, let B represents the number of shares Neutrino Industries must sell. Therefore, we have:

Gross proceeds = $49 * B, or $49B

Underwriter charges = 6% * $49B = $2.94B

To raise $400 million, we deduct the underwriter charges from gross proceeds and solve for B as follows:

$49B – $2.94B = $400,000,000

$46.06B = 400,000,000

B = 400,000,000 / 46.06

B = 8,684,324.79 shares, or 8.68 million shares.

Therefore, Neutrino Industries must sell <u>8.68 million shares</u> to raise $400 million.

Anarel [89]

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.

Coordination and policy harmonization problems are largely a function of the number of countries that seek agreement.
sammy [17]
When a number of countries are working harmoniously together, then they would have no problems involving coordination and policy harmonization. It is inevitable to have a difference in opinions brought about by the diversity of culture. However, when countries respect each other's views, they work hand in hand to adjust and compromise with each other. So, the statement is false. The answer is B.
