Answer: a tax equal to the external cost.
Explanation:
The most efficient taxes are those that will be equal to the external cost of production that a company is imposing on the environment. This means in effect that a company is paying for the pollution it is inflicting on the environment.
Companies polluting less would pay less and those polluting more would pay more. This is the logic of a tax equal to the external cost.

Threat of resistance can reduce profitability and should also be considered.
Peyton Trust, which is a simple trust, distributed $45,000 to its sole beneficiary, Brooke, in the current year. Further, it had the following items of income and expense for the current year.
Interest income from municipal bonds $10,000
Gross income from rental properties 30,000
Operating expenses for the rental properties 5,000
Trust fees allocable to the rental properties 2,000
What is Peyton's income distribution deduction for the current year?
a. $23,000
b. $33,000
c. $40,000
d. $45,000
Answer:
b. $33,000
Explanation:
In order to avoid double taxation, trust are allowed to deduct income distributed to its beneficiaries. In this case, the deduction is equal to the lowest of:
net income generated by the trust = $10,000 + $30,000 - $5,000 - $2,000 = $33,000 ⇒ THIS IS LOWERor the net income distributed = $45,000You are purchasing a home for $220,000. The down payment is 30% and the balance will be financed with a 20-year mortgage at 9% and 2 discount points. You put down a deposit of $5,000 (applied to the down payment) when the sales contract was signed. You also have these expenses: credit report, $70; appraisal fee, $110; title insurance premium, 1% of amount financed; title search, $225; and attorney's fees, $600. Find your amount due at the closing.
Based on the various payments on the home, the amount due at closing is $66,625.
What is the amount due on closing?$5,000 has already been taken from the down payment which leaves:
= 30% x 220,000 - 5,000
= $61,000
Loan amount is:
= (1 - 30%) x 220,000
= $154,000
Closing amount is:
= 61,000 + 70 + 110 + (1% x $154,000) + 225 + 600 + (2% discount points x 154,000)
= $66,625

Explanation:
Using the formula
FV = PV (1 + r)ⁿ
where
PV=present value
r=interest rate
n =number of periods
FV = future value.
Present Value Years Interest Rate Future Value
$600 ? 8% $1,393

You are trying to estimate the value of the XYZ Inc. company, as of the end of 2019. The after-tax cashflow from assets (FCFF) for the year ending 2019 is $126 million. The estimated WACC is 11%. What comes closest to the current value of the firm XYZ if the expected after-tax cashflows to assets for the next two years are expected to grow at 15% and then grow at a lower rate of 2% thereafter forever?
Answer:
$ 1,798.56
Explanation:
The current value of the firm is the discounted after-tax cashflow from assets as well as the terminal after-tax cashflows as shown below:
2020 FCFF=$126 million*(1+15%)=$144.90 million
2021 FCFF=$126 million*(1+15%)^2=$166.64 million
Terminal value=2021 FCFF*(1+g)/(WACC-g)
g=terminal growth rate of FCFF=2%
WACC=11%
Terminal value=$166.64 million*(1+2%)/(11%-2%)=$ 1,888.53 million
current value of firm=$144.90 million/(1+11%)^1+$166.64 million/(1+11%)^2+$ 1,888.53 million/(1+11%)^2
current value of firm=$ 1,798.56

Germany is capital abundant country and Japan is labor abundant country. If computers are produced mostly by capital and beer is produced mostly by labor, the H-O model predicts that Question 22 options: Japan will export computers in exchange for beer. Germany will export computers in exchange for beer. Germany is too small to be of economic interest to Japan. Computers and beer don't mix, so trade cannot increase either country's well-being.
Answer:
If computers are produced mostly by capital and beer is produced mostly by labor, the H-O model predicts that
Germany will export computers in exchange for beer.
Explanation:
The H-O model or Heckscher-Ohlin theory is an economic model about the comparative advantages of nations in international trade. The model tries to explain the equilibrium of trade existing between two countries that have varying specialties and natural resources. According to the H-O model, countries export more goods and services for which they have plenty resources than they do for goods and services for which they have scarce resources. For example, if a country has capital in abundance, it will export more of capital-intensive products while it will import labor-intensive products, because it has scarce labor resources.
If you have done everything correctly, you might realize that stagflation creates a dilemma for the Fed. Why? Choose one or more: A. If the Fed wants to reduce unemployment, it must be willing to accept more inflation. B. If the Fed wants to reduce inflation, it must be willing to accept higher unemployment. C. If the Fed wants to reduce unemployment, it must be willing to accept less inflation. D. If the Fed wants to reduce inflation, it must be willing to accept lower unemployment.
Answer:
A. If the Fed wants to reduce unemployment, it must be willing to accept more inflation.
B. If the Fed wants to reduce inflation, it must be willing to accept higher unemployment.
Explanation:
Stagflation is a situation in which there is a shift of the supply curve to the left that results in a high inflation due to which there is a high unemployement. Now if the fed wants to reduce the inflation so the demand would decline due to which the unemployment rises
Therefore A and B are correct
And C and D are incorrect
Answer:
The Federal Reserve seeks to control inflation by influencing interest rates. When inflation is too high, the Federal Reserve typically raises interest rates to slow the economy and bring inflation down.

HP20 Corporation is considering permanently shutting down a department that has an annual contribution margin of $30,000 and $70,000 in annual fixed costs.
Of the fixed costs, $12,000 cannot be avoided.
What would be the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for HP20 Corporation. if the company shuts down the department?
Answer: Financial advantage of $28,000
Explanation:
The segment margin is;
= Contribution margin - fixed costs + unavoidable fixed cost
= 30,000 - 70,000 + 12,000
= -$28,000
Eliminating the department would eliminate the negative segment margin of $28,000 which means that net income will increase by that much making it a financial advantage.
A producer of felt-tip pens has received a forecast of demand of 41,000 pens for the coming month from its marketing department. Fixed costs of $26,000 per month are allocated to the felt-tip operation, and variable costs are 35 cents per pen.
a. Find the break-even quantity if pens sell for $1 each.
b. At what price must pens be sold to obtain a monthly profit of $16,000, assuming that estimated demand materializes?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The break even quantity is
= Fixed cost ÷ (selling price per unit - variable cost per unit)
= $26,000 ÷ ($1 - 0.35)
= $26,000 ÷ 0.65
= 40,000
b. The price is
Let us assume the price per pen be x
As we know that
Profit = Revenue - costs
$16,000 = (x)(41,000) - $26,000 - .35(41,000)
$16,000 = 41,000x - 40,350
$56,350 = 41,000x
x = $1.37
Even though the moving averages help highlight the long-run trend of a time series, the moving-average model is not designed for making forecasts in the presence of trends. Explain the reason why we should not rely on moving averages for predicting future observations of a trending series.
Answer:
Moving averages cannot be used to make future forecasts successfully because certain events like demand, supply ,quality and external factors such as competitions cannot be determined with the use of Moving averages, and these factors have a huge impact on prices
Explanation:
Moving averages are generated / obtained using data from events that occurred previously hence they highlight the long-run trend of a time series, but they cannot be used to make future forecasts successfully because certain events like demand, supply ,quality and external factors such as competitions cannot be determined with the use of Moving averages. and these factors have a huge impact on prices

On August 1, 2020, Ascent Corp. borrowed $80,000 cash on an 8-month note payable with a 7% annual rate that requires Ascent to pay all the interest and principal on April 1, 2021. Assuming the necessary adjusting entry to accrue interest expense was properly recorded on December 31, 2020, the journal entries to record the payment of interest on April 1, 2021 will include a (Round to the nearest whole dollar, if necessary):
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Interest payable:
= Borrowed amount × rate of interest × given months ÷ total months
= $80,000 × 7% × 5 ÷ 12
= $2,333.33
And,
Interest expense:
= Borrowed amount × rate of interest × given months ÷ total months
= $80,000 × 7% × 3 ÷ 12
= $1,400
So here for recording the payment of interest the interest payable is debited for $2,333.33

An all-equity firm is considering the following projects: Project Beta IRR W .63 9.4 % X .76 10.5 Y 1.29 14.0 Z 1.40 17.1 The T-bill rate is 5.1 percent, and the expected return on the market is 12.1 percent. a. Which projects have a higher/lower expected return than the firm’s 12.1 percent cost of capital? b. Which projects should be accepted? c. Which projects will be incorrectly accepted/rejected or correctly accepted/rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?
Answer:
Project Beta IRR project's cost of equity
W .63 9.4% = 5.1% + (0.63 x 7%) = 9.51%
X .76 10.5% = 5.1% + (0.76 x 7%) = 10.42%
Y 1.29 14.0% = 5.1% + (1.29 x 7%) = 14.13%
Z 1.40 17.1% = 5.1% + (1.40 x 7%) = 14.9%
the company's cost of capital = 12%
a. Which projects have a higher/lower expected return than the firm’s 12.1 percent cost
of capital?
higher expected return ⇒ projects Y and Z lower expected return ⇒ projects W and Xb. Which projects should be accepted?
accepted ⇒ projects X and Z (their IRR is higher than their Re) rejected ⇒ projects W and Y (their IRR is lower than their Re)c. Which projects will be incorrectly accepted/rejected or correctly accepted/rejected if the firm's overall cost of capital were used as a hurdle rate?
if the company uses its cost of capital, then it would incorrectly reject project W and incorrectly accept project YScenario:
Suppose that in the competitive market for auto repair, firms prefer to hire men rather than women Assume that the women applying for positions have the same skills, experience, and work ethic as the men. As a result of this discrimination, the demand for women is lower than it otherwise would be.
Refer to Scenario above. If the firms in this market are profit maximizers and customers do not care if a woman or a man works on their car, what will likely happen?
Answer:
If the firms want to maximize profit and they are price takers, they will eventually start hiring more women. Since the demand for female workers is lower, the price of their labor should also be lower. That means that if a firm wants to maximize its profits, it will need to decrease its costs. A way to decrease a company's costs is to hire cheaper labor.

Brad's Diner is expanding and expects operating cash flows of $32,000 a year for 4 years as a result. This expansion requires $39,000 in new fixed assets. These assets will be worthless at the end of the project. In addition, the project requires $3,000 of net working capital throughout the life of the project. What is the net present value of this expansion project at a required rate of return of 12 percent
Answer: $57,101.73
Explanation:
First find the present value of the cash inflows. The $32,000 is a constant payment so is an annuity. The net working capital will be realized at the end of the project as well.
Present value of cash inflows = (32,000 * Present value interest factor of an annuity, 4 years, 12%) + 3,000/ (1 + 12%)⁴
= (32,000 * 3.0373) + 1,906.55
= $99,101.73
NPV = Present value of inflows - Outflows
= 99,100.15 - (39,000 + 3,000)
= $57,101.73
Bonita Industries bought a machine on January 1, 2008 for $809000. The machine had an expected life of 20 years and was expected to have a salvage value of $79000. On July 1, 2018, the company reviewed the potential of the machine and determined that its future net cash flows totaled $402000 and its fair value was $314000. If the company does not plan to dispose of it, what should Bonita record as an impairment loss on July 1, 2018
Answer:
$75,250
Explanation:
we must first determine the book value on June 30, 2018. Straight line depreciation expense per year = ($809,000 - $79,000) / 20 = $36,500
book value on June 30, 2018 = $809,000 - ($36,500 x 11.5 years) = $389,250
impairment loss = book value - fair market value = $389,250 - $314,000 = $75,250
On January 1, 2019, Sandhill Corporation acquired machinery at a cost of $1290000. Sandhill adopted the double-declining balance method of depreciation for this machinery and had been recording depreciation over an estimated useful life of ten years, with no residual value. At the beginning of 2022, a decision was made to change to the straight-line method of depreciation for the machinery. The depreciation expense for 2022 would be
Answer:
$94,354.29
Explanation:
Depreciation rate = 100/10*2 = 20%
2019 Depreciation = 1290000 * 20% = $258000
2020 Depreciation = 1290000 * 80% * 20% = $206400
2021 Depreciation = 1290000 * 80% * 80% * 20% = $165120
Accumulated depreciation (2019 to 2021) = $258000 + $206400 + $165120 = $629,520

ABC Company and XYZ Company entered into a nonmonetary exchange lacking commercial substance. In the exchange, ABC gave XYZ a building with a book value of $90,000 ($150,000 cost - $60,000 accumulated depreciation) and a fair value of $125,000 in exchange for $25,000 and an XYZ building with a book value of $80,000 ($95,000 cost - $15,000 accumulated depreciation) and a fair value of $100,000. Prepare the journal entry to record the exchange in ABC's and XYZ's books.
Answer:
New Building Acquired at Carrying Amount $90,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation on Building given up $60,000 (debit)
Cost of Building given up $150,000 (credit)
Explanation:
Where the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance, the asset that is acquired is measured at the carrying amount (Cost less Accumulated Depreciation) of the asset given up, and no gain or loss cannot be estimated reliably.
The Building with Carrying Amount of $90,000 ($150,000 cost - $60,000 accumulated depreciation).
Thus the Journal will be :
New Building Acquired at Carrying Amount $90,000 (debit)
Accumulated Depreciation on Building given up $60,000 (debit)
Cost of Building given up $150,000 (credit)
