Answer:

a. Asarta Inc. could pay the fishermen $8,500 and keep polluting  

Explanation:

The fishermen sell the fish for $8,000 a year at local market.

Due to pollution emitted by company into stream, their catch is dwindling and also their income.

The company benefits from usage of stream to the tune of $4,000 a year.  In such scenario, if company compensates the fishermen for any amount between $8,000 and $40,000 then, in that case, optimal solution to the problem can be achieved in absence of any other transaction cost as per the Coase Theorem.

Therefore, The Asarta Inc. could pay the fishermen $8,500 and keep polluting.

If an increase in the price of pineapple juice of 10% results in an increase in the demand for grape juice of 5%, the cross-pric
expeople1 [14]

Answer and Answer

Cross elasticity of demand is an economic concept that measures the responsiveness in the quantity demanded of one good when the price for another good changes

You can calculate the Cross Price Elasticity of Demand (CPoD) as follows: CPEoD = (% Change in Quantity Demand for Good A) Ă· (% Change in Price for Good A) Therefore the problem becomes CPEoD = 10% / 5% so CEPoD = 2%

.                        =2%

Bannister Motors Corporation reported the following variances for the period just ended: Variable-overhead spending variance: $5
oee [108]

Answer:

Company should focus on variances that total is $120,000 U

Explanation:

Given:

Variable-overhead spending variance = $50,000 U

Variable-overhead efficiency variance = $28,000 U

Fixed-overhead budget variance = $70,000 U

Fixed-overhead volume variance = $30,000 U

Computation:

The company should pay initial attention to its expenses whether it is a fixed or variable expense.

Company should focus on variances = Variable-overhead spending variance + Fixed-overhead budget variance

Company should focus on variances = $50,000 U + $70,000 U

Company should focus on variances = $120,000 U

ELEN [110]

Answer:

$28.87

Explanation:

to determine the the future value of Coolibah's stock, we can use an excel spreadsheet and the future value function =FV(rate,nper,pmt,pv,[type])

  • rate = 18% / 2 = 9% = 0.09
  • nper = 6
  • pmt = $1.20 = 1.2
  • pv = -$22.60 = -22.6
  • [type] optional, not necessary

=FV(0.09,6,1.2,-22.6) = $28.87

*You can also use calculate the value of the annuity and then add it to the present value, but it is just longer, the answer is the same.
