Answer:

Tax = Marginal External Damage

Explanation:

When a negative externality distorts market outcome, we often see that a government intervention is needed. We must incorporate the negative externality into the private decision of the producer. That is to say that we add marginal damage caused by the externality to the marginal private cost of production. The social outcome will be at the point where marginal social cost (MSC) is equal to Marginal private benefit (MPB).

Thus, the efficient level of tax on emission is set equal to the marginal external damage.

Tax = t  = MED

MSC = MPC + MED

        = MPC + t

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

16.16%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the expected rate of return is shown below: -

Expected rate of return = (Weightage of Stock G × Expected Returns G) + (Weightage of Stock J × Expected Returns J) + (Weightage of Stock K × Expected Returns K)

= (16% × 10%) + (56% × 16%) + (28% × 20%)

= (0.16 × 0.1) + (0.56 × 0.16) + (0.28 × 0.20)

= 0.016 + 0.0896 + 0.056

= 0.1616

= 16.16%

natima [27]

Answer:

Option D is the correct option. Please choose option D that is $150,000.

Explanation:

Amount of paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions = Shares exchanged * (Market Price - Share purchase Cost)

Where Shares exchanged = 25000

Market price = $45

Cost of share = $39

Therefore, the amount of paid-in capital from treasury stock transactions = 25000 shares * (45 - 39) = $150,000

Option D $150,000 is correct

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Using Direct Labour hours;

The cost per unit for Decoder P=$5.76

The cost per unit for Decoder Q=$5.76

Using Activity based costing;

The cost per unit for Decoder P=$7.48

The cost per unit for Decoder Q=$5.01

Explanation:

A)Total Overhead cost= $275,000

Total Labour Hours=22,000

P Total Overhead  =6,600/22,000*$275,000=$82,500

Overhead cost per unit=$82,500+$31,680/19,800units=$5.76

Fixed cost=$105,600

19800/66000*$105,600=$31,680

Q Total overhead  =15,400/22,000*$275,000=$192,500

Overhead cost per unit=$192,500+$73,920/46,200units=$5.76

Fixed cost=$105,600

46,200/66000*$105,600=$73,920

B)Using activity based costing;

Total Overhead cost= $275,000

Repair and Maintenence Cost = $105,600

Total Labour Hours=22,000

P Overhead  =6,600/22,000*$275,000=$82,500

Overhead cost perunit=$82,500/19,800units=$4.16

P Activities overhead=(2000+190+1400)/5750*$105,600=$65,931.13

Activity cost per unit=$65,931.13/19,800units=$3.32

Total Overhead cost =$4.16+$3.32=$7.48

Q Total overhead  =15,400/22,000*$275,000=$192,500

Overhead cost per unit=$192,500/46,200units=$4.16

Q Activities overhead=(1000+60+1,100)/5750*$105,600=$39,668.87

Activity cost per unit=$39,668.87/46,200units=$0.85

Total Overhead cost =$4.16+$0.85=$5.01

Novak’s Market recorded the following events involving a recent purchase of inventory: Received goods for $112000, terms 2/11, n
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct

Explanation:

The payment is made during the discount period of 11 days so the 2% discount rate would be applicable.

Goods purchased =   $112,000

Goods returned = $2,200

Discount =   (Goods purchased - goods returned) × 2%

               = ($112,000 - $2,200) × 2%

               = $2,196

Net purchase = Goods purchased - returned - Discount

                       = $112,000 - $2,200 - $2,196

                       = $107,604

Total inventory cost = Net purchase + Freight cost

                                 = $107,604 + $400

                                 = $108,004

Therefore, company’s inventory increased by $108,004.

Lance lopes went to his bank to find out how long it will take for $1,500 to amount to $2,700 at 15% simple interest. can you so
denis23 [38]
To find simple interest: 

Time = Interest/(Principle)(Rate)

Interest is the amount of interest paid
Principle is the amount you lent or borrow
Rate is the percentage of principle charged as interest each year
Time is the years of the loan

P=Principle amount of $1,500
I=Interest amount of $1,200 (Take the new amount of $2,700 and subtract from the principle that is $1,500 which gives you $1,200)
r= as a decimal .15 (15%/100)
t=unknown

T=I/PR

T=1,200/(1,500)(.15)
T=1,200/225
T=5.3 years 

It would take Lance roughly 5.3 years
