Answer: more; externality; market power.

Explanation:

Bakers are much (more) likely to supply pastries to the market if property rights are not enforced.

a. A manufacturing plant dumps chemical waste into a nearby river, poisoning the water supply for a small town downstream. - Externality

Externality, refers to the benefit s or costs that someone else incurs based on the economic decision of another person. In this case, this is a negative externality as the small town bears the cost of the production activities of the company.

b. A single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state. As a result, the utilities company can set the price of electricity - Market power

Market power is when a firm is able to dictate the price and can then raise the price. This brings about the reduction in output as well. Since the single public utilities company is responsible for supplying electricity for an entire state, the company is enjoying monopoly power or market power.

Flexible Budgeting At the beginning of the period, the Fabricating Department budgeted direct labor of $9,280 and equipment depr
andriy [413]

Answer:

$11,000

Explanation:

Fabricating Department budgeted direct labor = $9,280

Depreciation remains constant at any level of production.

Budgeted labor rate = Budgeted direct labor ÷ Hours of production

                                  = $9,280 ÷ 640

                                  = $14.5 per hour

Direct labor cost = completed hours of production × Budgeted labor rate

                            = 600 × $14.5

                            = $8,700

Budget for the Fabricating Department at 600 hours of production:

Budgeted cost = Direct labor cost + Equipment depreciation

                         = $8,700 + $2,300

                         = $11,000
