Answer:
$5 million
Explanation:
If we follow the Coase Theorem, the appropriate solution to this case should be obtained regardless of initial rights. In this case, the factory saves $5 million to the producer, but it costs $10 million to Boston residents. if Boston residents pay $5 million or more to the factory owner, then both would benefit. Boston residents will gain $10 - $5 = $5 million, as well as the factory owner.
Answer:
(a) 
(b) 
(c) X=4.975 percent
Explanation:
(a) Find the z-value that corresponds to 5.40 percent
.
Hence the net interest margin of 5.40 percent is 2.5 standard deviation above the mean.
The area to the left of 2.5 from the standard normal distribution table is 0.9938.The probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin that exceeds 5.40 percent is 1-0.9938=0.0062
(b) The z-value that corresponds to 4.40 percent is 
The net interest margin of 4.40 percent is 0.5 standard deviation above the mean.
Using the normal distribution table, the area under the curve to the left of 0.5 is 0.6915
Therefore the probability that a randomly selected U.S. bank will have a net interest margin less than 4.40 percent is 0.6915
(c) The z-value that corresponds to 95% which is 1.65
We substitute the 1.65 into the formula and solve for X.
A bank that wants its net interest margin to be less than the net interest margins of 95 percent of all U.S. banks should set its net interest margin to 4.975 percent.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. 7.22 percent
Explanation:
To find the arithmetic risk premium for the 5 year period, the formula is
Average risk premium for the period = Sum of risk premium for each year / number of years = ∑ra(i) - rf(i) / n
ra = asset or investment return / 100
rf = risk free return / 100
Where i represents each year.
Sum of risk premium for each year = (0.187 - 0.052) + (0.058 - 0.034) + (0.079 - 0.028) + (0.108 - 0.034) + (0.116 - 0.039) = 0.361
Average risk premium = 0.361 / 5 = 0.0722 = 7.22 / 100 = 7.22 percent
Answer:
Accelerated depreciation method
Explanation:
Accelerated method is a depreciation method in which the asset lost its book value at a quicker rate as compared with the straight line method. Under this method, it permit high deduction in the starting years so that the taxable income could be minimized
Therefore according to the given option the first option is correct and the same is to be considered
