Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.

The type types of private solutions to the pollution externality which has occured is charity. This is because it is a voluntary activity. The money collected is meant for a specific objective which is to tackle the issue of pollution.

It is also vital to note that sometimes the private solutions to externalities might not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly.

A coupon bond that pays interest semiannually has a par value of $1,000, matures in 8 years, and has a yield to maturity of 6%.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

b. 1,062.81

Explanation:

the key to answer this question is to remember that valuation of a bond depends basically of calculating the present value of a series of cash flows, so let´s think about a bond as if you were a lender so you will get interest by the money you lend (coupon) and at the end of n years you will get back the money you lend at the beginnin (principal), so applying math we have the bond value given by:

$price=\frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{1} }+ \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{2} } \frac{principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{3} }+...+\frac{principal+principal*coupon}{(1+i)^{n} }$

where: principal as said before is the value lended, coupon is the rate of interest paid, i is the interest rate and n is the number of periods

so applying to this particular exercise, as it is not said we will assume that 6% and 7% are interest rate convertible seminually, so the price of the bond will be:

$price=\frac{1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{1} } +\frac{1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{2} }+\frac{1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{3} }+...+\frac{1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{15} }+\frac{1,000+1,000*\frac{0.07}{2} }{(1+\frac{0.06}{2}) ^{16} }$

price=1,062.81

take into account that here we are asked about semianually payments, so in 8 years there are 16 semesters.

= 720,000 / (62,000 + 58,000) / 2

= 720,000 / 60,000

= 12 times

Triple Creek Hardware Store currently uses a periodic inventory system. Kevin Carlton, the owner, is considering the purchase of

marin [14]

Answer:

Will switching to a perpetual inventory system strengthen Triple Creek Hardware’s control over inventory items?

Yes, a perpetual inventory system provides updated information about inventory levels and costs. Since it is updated immediately, many of the company's problems could be solved, e.g. you can place an alert for minimum inventory levels on certain products and you can determine if the stocks of low sellers are too high.

Will switching to a perpetual inventory system eliminate the need for a physical inventory count?

It will not completely eliminate the need to carry out a physical inventory, but it should reduce it substantially. Also, you can carry out a random physical inventory for certain products only. If the physical count shows that there are problems with the registered inventory, then you can carry out a complete physical count.
