An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved. For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.
Answer:
The total amount of the cash dividend is $7,125
Explanation:
The Dividend is declared to pay all the outstanding shares in the market. Sometime the company has some treasury shares in the stocks which is deducted from the total issued shares to find the outstanding shares. In this case, the issued shares and the outstanding numbers of shares are different.
Treasury shares are those shares that are bought back by the company that issued the shares.
Use the following formula to calculate the cash dividend
Cash Dividend = Numbers of outstanding shares x Dividend rate
Where
Numbers of outstanding shares = 9,500 shares
Dividend rate = $0.75 per share
Placing values in the formula
Cash Dividend = 9,500 x $0.75 per share
Cash Dividend = $7,125
Answer: -($0.5025) million
Explanation:
As depreciation is expected to increase this year by $0.670 million.
Therefore,
Expenses will increase and will result in decrease in income before tax by $0.670 million.
Additional tax saving on increase in depreciation = $0.67 × 25%
= $0.1675 million
Hence,
Total change in net income = -($0.67) + $0.1675
= -($0.5025) million

Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
In an unregulated market, negative externality results in a higher social marginal cost than the firm marginal cost because this market is not properly regulated by the government officials. Hence, these firms are not taking into account the effect of negative externalities in their cost.
We know that the consumer's decision is more offenly based on the point where the marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit because they are not taking the impact of negative externalities.
If proper action is not taken by the government, negative externality will result in a market inefficiencies.
