State and federal governments actively support education at the primary, secondary, and collegiate levels. But they mandate education at the primary and secondary levels, while merely providing subsidies and loan guarantees at the collegiate level. Of the key rationales for public provision of education described, which do you think underpins this differential treatment?

Answer:

1. positive externalities

2. educational credit for the market failure

3. redistribution

4. failure to maximize the family utility

Explanation:

There are generally four rationales or logical thinking for the public provisions for education. They are the positive externalities, failure to maximize the family utility, educational credit for the market failure, redistribution.

Now each rationales provides reasons that educations is more likely to be underprovided without any intervention from the government. But many of them does not provide any reasons for the mandate of education.

Like suppose the government can support and solve any educational credit market failure by just offering some loan guarantees for the students while letting them chose to receive education or not.

Similarly government can also address positive externalities that are associated with productivity gains or just letting a person educated without any mandating it.

And finally, government redistributes the poor families through the progressive taxation or the offerings of free education without any mandating them.

M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.

1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?

2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?
