Answer:

The answer is: the <u>supply of</u> sugar to <u>decrease</u> and its price to <u>increase</u>.

Explanation:

Factories that process sugarcane have to decide what quantities will they produce of sugar and ethanol. If they produce sugar, they can'y produce ethanol, and vice versa.  

So when the price of ethanol increases, sugarcane factories will increase the quantity supplied of ethanol, therefore reducing the quantity supplied of sugar. Since the quantity supplied of sugar decrease by external factors not related to its demand, then the price of sugar will increase since the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied.

Alton Company uses a process-costing system for its single product. Material A is added at the beginning of the process; in cont
Semenov [28]

Answer:

e. A, 6,000; B, 6,000.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the process Materials A are added. Therefore it won't matter if the process is 80% or less/more is complete, the materials A have already been added and would be equivalent to the ending work-in-process inventory i.e. 6,000 units.

Materials B are added when the units are 75% complete. Since the ending work-in-process are 80% complete, then this means that the Materials B equivalent to 6,000 units have already been added to the ending inventory.

Hence, both materials A and B have been added to the ending work-in-process inventory for 6,000 units. Therefore, option E is correct.

A plant produces aluminum, facing costs of C(A) = \frac{A^2}{10}, where A is the number of aluminum units produced, and selling
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$10

Explanation:

We are to account for external costs in production, since we are asked to find optimal tax.

Given:

C(A) = \frac{A^2}{10}

We now have:

C(A) = \frac{A^2}{10} + \frac{A^2}{20}

A represents number of aluminum units produced, let's find A, since the margnal cost is $30.

Thus,

30 = \frac{A}{5} +  \frac{A}{10}

30 = \frac{2A + A}{10}

300 = 3A

A = \frac{300}{3}

A = 100

Let's equate the private marginal cost with the marginal revenue of each unit in order to achieve this amount of produced units with tax, t.

We have:

30 - t = \frac{A}{5}

Substituting 100 for A above, we have:

30 - t = \frac{100}{5}

30 - t = 20

t = 30 - 20

t = 10

Therefore, the socially optimal tax on aluminum is $10 per unit
