Company A has been experiencing lost sales and high returns recently, so they have decided to undertake a comprehensive quality

program. The program would require additional inspection of products prior to shipment at an estimated cost of 45000, and the upgrading of production equipment at an estimated cost of 400000. Company A knows that if it undertakes this program, it will be able to reduce warranty repair costs by 25000. They also know they will be able to avoid lost profits by retaining customers, but they cannot quantify that benefit with any degree of precision.Should company A go ahead with the quality program?

Answer:

Explanation:

Incremental cost

Inspection cost prior to shipment - 45,000

Upgrading of equipment - 400,000

Incremental benefit - 25,000

The incremental cost of improving quality far outweigh the incremental benefit

Even though loss of profit was avoided by retaining existing customers , yet the quality improvement program dies not guarantee additional customers and profit to write off or reduce  the incremental cost .

Therefor , it is not advisable fort the company to go on with the quality program.

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The cost of preferred stock is 10.2%

Explanation:

The actual amount realized from issuing the preferred of $100 per share par value is the par value less cost of issuing and selling stock of $2 per share, in other words,$98($100-$2) was realized per share from the issuance.

Having known the net amount realized, the cost of preferred stock can be calculated as follows:

cost of preferred stock =return on preferred stock/net amount realized

return is 10% of $100(par value), i.e $10 per share

cost of preferred stock =$10/$98=10.2%

Note that preferred is not tax deductible like debt financing , hence the rate of tax given is not considered in determining the cost of preferred stock.

Externalities and Public Goods - End of Chapter Problem
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

LaShawn's neighbor mows his lawn during the night.

DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN LASHAWN'S NEIGHBOR MOWS HIS LAWN, A PRIVATE BARGAINING MIGHT BE USEFUL. IF THIS HAPPENS ONCE A MONTH, THE NEED OF INTERVENTION IS NOT SIGNIFICANT. BUT IF THIS HAPPENS MORE OFTEN, PROBABLY THEN BOTH MEIGHBORS WILL NEED TO BARGAIN AN OPTIMAL SOLUTION.

Opening an Apple store in a mall causes  overall sales in the mall to increase by 10%.  

THIS IS A POSTIIVE EXTERNALITY, THEREFORE, ANY TYPE OF INTERVENTION WILL PROBABLY MAKE THE SITUATION WORSE.

The production of steel results in  pollution that affects millions of  residents in the surrounding area.

IN THIS CASE, YOU NEED GOVERNMENT INTEREVENTION. POLUTION IS SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS THE GEENRAL PUBLIC, THEREFORE, IT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY THE EPA. IN CASE THE EPA AND OTHER GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS DECIDE TO DO NOTHING, THEN YES, PRIVATE BARGAINING WILL PROBABLY BE NECESSARY.
