Two firms, A and B, each currently dump 50 tonnes of chemicals into the local river. From now on both firms will require a pollu

tion permit for each tonne of pollution dumped into the river. The government gives each firm 20 tonnes’ worth of pollution permits, which it can either use or sell to the other firm. It costs Firm A $100 for each tonne of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river, and it costs Firm B $50 for each tonne of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river. What is likely to happen?

Answer:

10 fewer tons of pollution into the river and Firm B will dump 50 fewer tons of pollution into the river.

Explanation:

Firm B will SELL ALL of its allotted 20 permits, and clean up all of its 50 units of pollution. The price per permit will be above $50 each. Firm A will BUY ALL 20 of B's permits. It will then dump 40 tons into the water, and will clean up its remaining 10. The price it pays for a permit will be under $100.

Answer:

Firm B will sell all its permits to Firm A  i.e ( lesser chemical dumps into the river )

Explanation:

Firm B will rather sell all its 20 tonnes worth of pollution permit to firm A because it would cause Firm B lesser than Firm A when they dispose off their wastes before it gets to the River hence they will rather dispose off their waste rather than paying/purchasing pollution permits while

Firm A will buy out all of Firm B's allotted pollution permits to reduce the number of tonnes they would dispose off before getting to the river. this is because it would cause them more when they dispose off their waste before getting it to the river. hence the End product of the whole arrangement will be  Chemical dumps into the River will be reduced drastically to 40 overall instead of 100 due to the cost of dumping permits.

artcher [175]

Answer:

The solvency ratio is closest to: B. 33%.

Explanation:

<em>The solvency ratio = After tax Net Operating Income ÷ Total Debt</em>

Thus,

The solvency ratio = $75,000 ÷ ($15,000 + $200,000)

                               = 35.88%

Therefore this is closest to B. 33%.

    Cr Common stock 72,100

    Cr Additional paid in capital in excess of par value 92,700

When you issue new stocks, the common stock account increases by par value (= 10,300 stocks x $7). Any money obtained over par value must be recorded under the additional paid in capital account (= 10,300 x $9).

Label the following statements as True or False.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

1. All else equal, countries with more natural resources have a higher GDP per capita than those with few natural resources. - True

All else being equal (ceteris paribus), if a country is endowed with more natural resources, it will have a higher GDP per capita than a country with less natural resources, because it will be able to trade and transform those natural resources for a lower cost, allowing it to produce more goods and services.

2. Over the past two hundred years, improvements in productivity have offset lost productivity reduction due to less land being available. - True

This statement is true. In the modern-era, thanks to the green revolution, and other technological improvements, more food can be produced in less land. Many analysts coincide that if the green revolution had not come about, humanity would have been subject to permanent famine.

3. The key to prosperity in the 20th century is an economy rich in natural resources. - False

The key to prosperity in the 20th century is simply producing more goods and services, and human capital has been seen as a more important factor for this than natural resources. For example, countries that are poor in natural resources and are rich such as Japan and South Korea, are so because they have very well-educated populations that produce high quality goods and services.

4. Human and physical capital are only beneficial to an economy when there is an abundance of natural resources in the economy. - False

Human and physical capital can benefit an economy even in the absence of natural resources, because natural resources can be imported. Again, the example of Japan works because the island nation is poor in natural resources, but rich in human capital, and not so deprived of physical capital, and has managed to become a developed nation by highly compex finished goods for natural resources.
