Answer:
The economic surplus will decrease by $2.20
Explanation:
$81.40 and $79.20 are <em>marginal </em>cost and benefit, which are the changes to total costs and total benefits due to producing and consuming one additional barrel of oil.
They can be used to calculate <em>change </em>to economic surplus, which is the change to the net economic value received by society, which is given by:
marginal benefit - marginal cost = $79.20 - $81.40 = - $2.20
Answer: 3.2
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand shows the change in quantity demanded of a good in response to a change in its price.
Price elasticity of demand = Change in quantity demand / Change in price
0.4 = Change in quantity demanded / 8
Change in quantity demanded = 0.4 * 8
= 3.2
Explanation:
Negative Impact of globalisation:
Attraction of global market resulted in farmers shifting from traditional or mixed cropping to unsustainable cropping practices. The competition from cheaper imports pushed down the prices of crops like cotton, wheat etc making agriculture unsustainable for many farmers.
Answer:
a) diluted earnings per share = 0
Explanation:
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.
Whereas DEPS is a representation of not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.
So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.
If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:
The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;
DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.
Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.
Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).
Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;
DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960
DEPS =$424400÷120960
DEPS = $3.5
Answer:
The answer is given below;
Explanation:
Preferred Stock Dr.$39,000,000
Common Stock Cr.$33,000,000
Paid in capital in excess of par-Common stock (39,000,000-33,000,000) Cr.$6,000,000
As the book value of preferred stock is greater than the price paid at the time of conversion into common stock,therefore excess amount is paid in capital in excess of par for common stocks.As the preferred stock is reduced by their book value,therefore it is debited and common stock is credited with its cost.
