In the US, public insurers such as Medicare are forbidden by law from applying formal health technology assessments - and in par

ticular, cost-effectiveness analyses - in deciding whether to cover new health technologies, no matter how expensive. By contrast, in Beveridge countries, centralized health technology assessment is required before the public health care system will cover expensive new technologies. What is the nature of the social costs associated with covering a new technology in a Beveridge public healthcare system? What is the nature of the social costs associated with not covering a new technology in such a system? What economic problem does centralized health technology assessment partially address?

In a process-costing system, the cost of abnormal spoilage should be A. Included in the cost of units transferred out. B. Prorat
Olin [163]

Answer:

D. Treated as a loss in the period incurred.

Explanation:

The process-costing system is used by firms that produce goods that goes through a set of manufacturing departments i.e it's used when firms mass produce nearly identical or similar units through various processes.

Under process-costing system, direct costs of production are accumulated,  summarized, and then assigned to all the units produced during the period.

Thus, a single product cost is calculated by dividing process cost in each manufacturing department by the respective units produced during the production period.

Some organizations that use the process-costing system are oil refineries, chemical processing companies, eraser manufacturing companies, and food production companies.

In a process-costing system, the cost of abnormal spoilage should be treated as a loss in the period incurred.

The abnormal spoilage refers to the cost exceeding normal level, associated with spoiled units of a manufacturing process. It should be treated as a loss in the period incurred because it cannot be recovered

Adams Corporation's present capital structure, which is also its target capital structure is
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Task a:

The answer is $24,500.

Task b:

The answer is 17%

Explanation:

<h2>Task a:</h2><h3>What is the maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the LOWEST  component cost of EQUITY?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

We already know the following:

Projected net income = $21,000

Payout ratio = 30%

Retention ratio = 70%

Debt share = 40%

Equity share = 60%

Maximum amount of capital to be raised at the lowest component cost of equity = Projected net income ×\frac{Retention ratio}{Equity share}

= $21,000 × \frac{0.70}{0.60}

= $24,500

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The maximum amount of new capital that can be raised at the lowest component of equity is $24,500.

<h2>Task b:</h2><h3>What is the component cost of equity by selling new common stock?</h3><h3>Solution:</h3>

k(e) (component cost of external equity) = [Dividend (D0)(1 + growth) / stock price(1 - flotation cost)] + growth

Formula:

k(e) = \frac{Do(1+g)}{P(1-0.20)} + 0.05

Where

Do = $2.00

G = 0.05

P = $21/88

= ($2.00(1 + 0.05) / $21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(1-.20)) + 0.05

= ($2.10/$21.88(0.80) + 0.05

= 0.17 or 17%

<h3>Answer: </h3>

The component cost of equity by selling new common stock = 17%
