The state government has passed a regulation requiring that individual sources install filters to capture emissions of inhalable particles. The regulation will require the that installation of the filters start within the upcoming year. The rule is expected to provide improved respiratory health outcomes for the state's citizens. The benefits and costs (shown in the table below) of the rule will be reckoned at the end of each of the next 12 years. The government has analyzed the costs and benefits of the regulation at an annua discount rate of 3%. Determine the annual and total net benefits of the project for each year of the 12 year period, and the net present value of the completed project, as determined in the EPA's current cost-benefit evaluation of the project.. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Benefits 51,278 45,367 52,876 62,448 53,749 39,723 41,804 46,735 44,286 37,873 51,244 47,836 Costs 43,956 32,556 29,864 39,874 36,843 29287 48,536 52,467 36,118 35,122 39,204 41,344

S Pte Ltd (“SPL”) is a country incorporated and tax resident in Country S. It has developed a social audio platform whereby the users can connect with other users from different parts of the world via audio chat. SPL believes that social audio feature will be the next game changer in the internet space, especially when a lot of countries are still in lock-down mode and human-to-human connection becomes a huge concern during Pandemic.The social audio platform is getting more popular in Asia and SPL is keen to explore the possibility of setting up a Headquarter company in Singapore with operating subsidiaries in Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and Hong Kong. Required: Assuming SPL is interested in applying for tax incentives in Singapore, illustrate the two (2) relevant tax incentives SPL can consider based on the information stated above, and discuss any additional conditions SPL should be aware of.
State the economic meaning of the viability condition and express it mathematically.
this assessment correct? what would be the interpretation to answer this question? If capacity for producing the A2B timer component is in fact limited, and therefore each sale of the household timer will eliminate the sale of an A2B component, how would you measure the household timer’s profitability?
Please no written by hand solutions Suppose Fresno Technologies, a extended reality headsets manufacturer, wants to run an difference-in-difference estimation to quantify how well their new production process is working. There are two production lines: Line A and Line B. Line A receives the treatment (i.e., uses the new process). Production data is summarized below for before and after the application of the process. LineQuantity before TreatmentQuantity after Treatment(in units)(in units)Line A21002600Line B15001320 Calculate two difference estimates of difference-in-difference. First, an estimate in units. Second, an estimate in percentage. The first estimate is taking the difference of each line before and after the treatment, and then finding the difference between those differences. The second estimate is taking the percentage change in each line and then finding the difference between the percentage changes. The difference-in-difference estimate of the effect of the new…
The government of a subtropical country is evaluating the costs and benefits of protecting a rainforest versus cutting it down for timber. The estimated value of the wood is $270$⁢270 million. If the same forest is used as a national park, it may attract 0.030.03 million additional tourists per year. Statistically, each tourist spends $1,600$⁢1,600 inside the country during their stay.How long will it take tourism to exceed the estimated value of the wood in the rainforest? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
The marginal benefit of being able to emit a ton of sulphur dioxide emissions for twofirms are given by:MB_X = 320 – ( Ex / 3 )MB_Y = 500 – ( Ey / 2 )Note that these marginal benefit figures can be interpreted as marginal cost of abatingemission down to levels Ex and Ey.Government regulators want to reduce total sulfur dioxide emissions to a total of 1200tons.a) If the government imposes the same standard of 600 tons maximum emissions onboth firms what would be the total cost of abatement (calculated as the aggregatedmarginal benefits forgone)?b) If the government distributed 600 tradable pollution permits to each firm whatwould be the final allocation of these permits after the firms trade them? Whatwould be the total cost of abatement in this latter case?
Sunshine Smoothies Company (SSC) manufactures and distributes smoothies. It is considering the "weight loss" smoothies project. The project would require a $4 million investment outlay today The after-tax cash flows would depend on consumers’ demand. There is a 30% chance that demand will be good, and the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2 million at the end of each year for the next 3 years. There is a 70% chance that demand will be poor, and the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $1 million at the end of each year for the next 3 years. The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 12%. - The firm will know whether the project is success or not after receiving first year's cash flows from normal operating.. - After receiving the first year's cash flows (no matter what receive $1M or $2M in the first year), the firm will have the option to abandon the project. - If the firm decides to abandon the project, the company will no longer…

RBMC Industry manufactures a special printing according to customer specifications with respect to the number of sheets the machine can produce per hour. With this, there is a $50 increase in the production rate x. A shop owner is considering buying one of these machines. From his past experiences, the owner estimates that the arrival rate is three per hour and each order averages 500 sheets. Contracts signed by the owner, and the customer says that there will be a penalty of 10$ per late order per hour. It is assumed that the actual production time is exponential. (a) Formulate the cost model as a function of the production rate x. (b) Determine the optimal production rate the owner should specify in his purchase of the machine from RBMC. Hint: Get the derivative of the cost function.
Can you explain this equation and its importance in economics please and thank you. equation = MRTSL,K>PL/PK
A large sewer system will cost P180,000 annually. There will be favorable consequence to the general public of P520,000 annually, and adverse consequence to a small segment of the public of P60,000 annually. What is the excess of benefits over cost? Answer:
= 1. (i) A utility function has the form U(w) aw³ +bw² where a, b E R. Assuming w > 0 and a 0, is U(w) ever suitable for a non-satiated and risk-averse investor? If it is, state the range of values of w this holds for as a function of a and b. You must include your working. (ii) Give an example of a utility function with DARA. Show all your working. (iii) An investor has IRRA. Would this investor prefer a fair gamble or to do nothing? Provide a short explanation of your answer.
