For each of the following examples, identify whether a positive or negative externality is present and whether there will be too little or too much of the activity relative to the socially optimal outcome.
A. Jerome has a beautifully landscaped front lawn with lots of colorful flowers. Landscaped lawns produce a externality. landscaped lawns exist relative to the socially efficient quantity.
B. Dave takes advantage of the low price of gas to purchase a sports utility vehicle. Sports utility vehicles generate a externality. sports utility vehicles are produced relative to the socially efficient quantity.
C. Susan decides to walk to work instead of driving. Walking to work creates a externality. walks to work exist relative to the socially efficient quantity.
D. Anita decides to smoke a cigarette while she is waiting at a busy bus stop. Cigarettes create a externality. cigarettes are produced relative to the socially efficient quantity.
Answer:
A. Landscape lawns produce positive externality.
B. Sports vehicle generates a positive externality
C. Walk to work creates positive externality.
D. Cigarettes create a negative externality.
Explanation:
Positive externality occurs when society gets benefit from a persons act. Susan has created lawns near her house and there are beautiful flowers in the lawn. This will be relaxing for those who pass near by the lawns. There will be fresh air coming from the lawn and society will look pleasant.
Negative externality is one in which society is harmed by the act of a person. This happens when Anita smokes at a bus stop. There are other travelers who will be present at the bus stop might be harmed from the smoke which arises from the cigarette.
LUVFINANCE, Inc. is estimating its WACC. It is operating at its optimal capital structure. Its outstanding bonds have a 12 percent coupon, paid semiannually, a current maturity of 17 years, and sell for $1,162. It has 100,000 bonds outstanding. The firm can issue new 20-year maturity semiannual bonds at the same cost of its current bonds but will incur flotation costs of $50 per bond (Hint: the coupon rate on the new bonds = the YTM on existing bonds). The firm could sell, at par, $100 preferred stock that pays a 12 percent annual dividend that is currently selling for $120. The firm currently has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Rollins' beta is 0.94, the risk-free rate is 3.72 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. The common stock currently sells for $100 a share and there are 5,000,000 shares outstanding. The firm's marginal tax rate is 40 percent.
Required:
What is the WACC?
Answer:
9.72%
Explanation:
Maturity = 34
Par-value = -1000
Coupon rate = 6%
Coupon PMT = -60
Value of bond = 1152
Semi-annual Yield = Rate(34, -60, 1162, -1000, 0, 0)
Semi-annual Yield = 5.00%
Annual Yield = 10%
Tax rate = 40%
After tax cost of debt = 10*(1-0.4)= 6%: Add: Flotation cost (5%) = 11%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Price = 12/120 = 10%
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta*Market risk premium
Cost of equity = 3.72 + 0.94*6
Cost of equity = 9.36%
Particulars Value per No of Market Weight Cost of Product

A proposed new project has projected sales of $219,000, costs of $96,000, and depreciation of $26,000. The tax rate is 23 percent. Calculate operating cash flow using the four different approaches. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Top-down
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the operating cash flow using the four different approaches is shown below:
1. EBIT + depreciation - taxes approach
But before that the net income would be
Sales $219,000
Less cost -$96,000
Less depreciation -$26,000
EBT $97,000
Less tax at 23% -$22,310
Net income $74,690
Now the operating cash flow is
= EBIT + depreciation - taxes
= $97,000 $26,000 - $22,310
= $100,690
2. top down approach
= Sales - cost - taxes
= $219,000 - $96,000 - $22,310
= $100,690
3. Tax shield approach
= (Sales - cost) × (1 - tax rate) + tax rate × depreciation expense
= ($219,000 - $96,000) × 0.23 + 0.23 × $26,000
= $94,710 + $5,980
= $100,690
4. Bottom up approach
= Net income + depreciation
= $74,690 + $26,000
= $100,690

Costs assigned to completed units 29,000 $493,000
Units Still in Process 3,330 $36,630
Total 32,330 $529,630
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent Units of Production
Materials
To Finish Work in Process 0
Started and Completed (29,000 x 100%) 29,000
Ending Work in Process (3,330 x 100%) 3,330
Equivalent units of Production in Materials 32,330
Conversion Costs
To Finish Work in Process 0
Started and Completed (29,000 x 100%) 29,000
Ending Work in Process (3,330 x 100%) 1,332
Equivalent units of Production in Materials 30,332
Step 2 : Costs assigned to completed units and units still in process
Costs assigned to completed units = Units Completed x total units cost
= 29,000 x $17
= $493,000
Units Still in Process = Materials Cost + Conversion Costs
= 3,330 x $7 + 1,332 x $10
= $36,630

Required: Calculate Red's debt to assets ratio and its long-term debt to equity ratio. Round your answers to four decimal places, if required. Debt to Total Assets fill in the blank 1 Long-Term Debt to Total Equity fill in the blank 2
Answer:
A. Debt to Total Assets ratio 0.5833 times
B. Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio 0.48 times
Explanation:
A. Calculation for Red's debt to assets ratio using this formula
Debt to Total Assets ratio = Total Liabilities/
Total Assets
Let plug in the formula
Debt to Total Assets ratio=$1,750,000/$3,000,000
Debt to Total Assets ratio=0.5833 times
Therefore the Debt to Total Assets ratio will be 0.5833 times
B. Calculation to determine its long-term debt to equity ratio
First step is to calculate the Shareholders’ Equity using this formula
Shareholders’ Equity = Total Assets – Total outside liabilities
Let plug in the formula
Shareholders’ Equity = $3,000,000-$1,750,000 Shareholders’ Equity =$1,250,000
Now let calculate the Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio using this formula
Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio = Long Term Debt/ Total Shareholder’s equity
Let plug in the formula Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio=$600,000/$1,250,000
Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio= 0.48 times
Therefore Long Term Debt to Total Equity Ratio will be 0.48 times

Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate for each department is given below:
For department D
= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ direct labor cost
= $1,260,000 ÷ $1,800,000
= 70% of direct labor cost
For department E
= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ direct labor hours
= $1,625,000 ÷ 125,000
= $13 per direct labor hours
For department K
= Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ machine hours
= $960,000 ÷ 120,000

Ray's Pizzeria is considering the addition of a 5th worker if this increases profit. Pizza sales increased from 300 per day to 360 per day when the 4th worker was added, indicating that the marginal product of the 4th worker was equal to blank1 - Numeric Answer Type your answer here Please type your answer to submit pizzas. If adding a 5th worker increases sales from 360 to 400, the marginal product of the fifth worker is blank2 - Numeric Answer Type your answer here pizzas.
Answer:
60 pizzas
40 pizzas
Explanation:
Marginal product measures the change in output as a result of a change in input by one unit
Marginal product = change in output / change in input
Marginal product for the 4th worker
Change in output = 360 - 300 = 60 pizzas
Change in input = 4 - 3 = 1 worker
Marginal product = 60 / 1 = 60
Marginal product for the 5th worker
Change in output = 400 - 360 = 40 pizzas
Change in input = 5 - 4 = 1
Marginal product = 40 / 1 = 40
It can be seen that marginal product decreased from 60 to 40 when the 5th worker was added. This illustrates diminishing marginal returns.
The law of diminishing returns says as more units of a variable input is added to a fixed income of production, output might increase at a point but after some time total output would increase at a decreasing rate and marginal product would be decreasing.
Chez Fred Bakery estimates the allowance for uncollectible accounts at 1% of the ending balance of accounts receivable. During 2021, Chez Fred's credit sales and collections were $108,000 and $142,000, respectively. What was the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2021, if $130 in accounts receivable were written off during 2021 and if the allowance account had a balance of $930 on December 31, 2021?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Per the above information,
Ending account receivable balance = Beginning account receivable + Credit sales - Collections - Written off amount
$93,000 = Beginning account receivable + $108,000 - $142,000 - $130
$93,000 = Beginning accounts receivable - $34,130
Beginning accounts receivable = $93,000 + $34,130 = $127,130
So, the beginning account receivable would be;
The ending accounts receivable is computed as;
= $930 ÷ 1%
= $93,000

If Zoom's equity cost of capital is and it has million shares outstanding, what is its share price today?
Answer:
The share price is $15.67 per share
Explanation:
The above mentioned question is missing few components. I have added them to explain on how the question would be solved if all the variables were provided. Please note the additions in bold text below. The answer of which is given afterwards.
Zoom Enterprises expects that one year from now it will pay a total dividend of $4.7 million and repurchase $4.7 million worth of shares. It plans to spend $9.4 million on dividends and repurchases every year after that forever, although it may not always be an even split between dividends and repurchases. If Zoom's equity cost of capital is 12.5% and it has $4.8 million shares outstanding, what is its share price today?
Solution mentioned below:
First we calculate the value of the enterprise by dividing the amount planned to be spent on dividends from cost of capital.
= $9.4 million / 0.125
= $75.2 million
Now to calculate price per share we divide the Enterprise value from the share outstanding.
= $75.2 million / $4.8 million
= $15.67 per share

"A good is inferior only if quantity demanded falls as price falls." c. " If the income effect is greater than the substitution effect and leisure is an inferior good, the labor supply curve will be negatively sloped."
Answer:
a. FALSE, since leisure is a normal good, an increase in the wage rate will result in both substitution and income effect which will decrease the number of hours worked and increase the leisure hours.
b. TRUE
c. FALSE, if leisure is an inferior good, as rise in wages will result in more working hours and les leisure hours, meaning that the labor supply has a positive slope.
Amber Company had $153,200 of net income in 2016 when the selling price per unit was $153, the variable costs per unit were $93, and the fixed costs were $574,100. Management expects per unit data and total fixed costs to remain the same in 2017. The president of Naylor Company is under pressure from stockholders to increase net income by $62,200 in 2017.
a) Compute the number of units sold in 2016.
b) Compute the number of units that would have to be sold in 2017 to reach the stockholders' desired profit level.
c) Assume that naylor company sells the same number of units in 2017 as it did in 2016. What would the selling price have to be in order to reacch the stockholders' desired profit level?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1) Number of unit sold in 2016 is
As we know that
Total contribution margin is
= Fixed cost + Net income
= $153,200 + $574,100
= $727,300
And, the Contribution margin per unit is
= $153 - $93
= 60 per unit
So, the Number of unit sold in 2016 is
= $727,300 ÷ 60
= 12,122 Units
2) Number of unit sold is
= ($574,100 + $153,200 + $62,200) ÷ 60
= 13,158 Units
3) The selling price is
Break even = (Fixed cost + Desired profit) ÷ Contribution margin
12,122 = ($574,100 + $153,200 + $622,00) ÷ (X - $93)
12,122X - $1,127,346 = $789,500
12,122X = $1,916,846
X(Selling price) = $1,916,846 ÷ 12122
= $158 per unit
