Answer:

The answer is option C) What happens to the socially optimal level of output and market price if the marginal external cost curve shifts upward is Optimal price increase and optimal quantity decrease.

Explanation:

when marginal external cost curve shifts upward, it indicates diminishing marginal returns.

A diminishing marginal return occurs when increases in one factor of production while the others remain constant results in increasingly reduced productivity.

In this scenario, the decrease in productivity levels is a response to the marginal external cost of the pollutants increasing with the quantity of plastics thereby causing optimal price increase and optimal quantity decrease.

--to record the correct transaction--

___________________________________

Net effect on assets:

AR 15,800

Cash Decrease by 1,000

Explanation:

April 1st: we should use account receivable as we are going to receive cash in the future. We aren't going to pay it.

this will increase assets by 15,800 rather than decrease liabilities.

April 2nd: It should be backwards.

the effect will be a decrease in cash for 1,200 (600 to amend the mistake and 600 to show a disbursement

April 3rd we should decrease cash by 400 as the sum of the purchase is 9,100 not 9,500

As we can't you put a debit on cash we reverse the wrong entry adn do the proper one.

Real effect:

Careco Company and Audaco Inc are identical in size and capital structure. However, the riskiness of their assets and cash flows
LenKa [72]

Answer:

E) if the firm evaluates these projects and all other projects at the new overall corporate wacc, it will probably become riskier over time.

Explanation:

Before the merger, Audaco would have rejected any project with an IRR of less than 12% (more risky investments) while Careco only required a 10% IRR (less risky projects). But after the merger the combined WACC will be lower than Audaco's, but higher than Careco's. Therefore, the new merged company will start accepting more risky projects and that tendency will continue over time. Eventually, the company's WACC will have to adjust and increase, and the cycle will continue.
