Answer:

Taxes can be used to increase the price of producing or selling something which discourages firms from engaging in that activity.
If the government wants to encourage a particular activity, they could subsidize firms who engage in it.

For example there are extra taxes on cigarettes because the government sees them as harmful, these extra taxes increase the price of ciggarettes.

Today's consumers do not need to rely on marketer-supplied information about products and services because they can use ________
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The answer to the question would be C

Explanation:

Without a doubt, the economic crisis has changed the way consumers approach the market for goods and services. In this new era, austerity, discounts and the search in different channels of the best price / benefit ratio dominate.

Of course, technology and the Internet are the best allies of the consumer who wants to be informed: thanks to smartphones, bar scanners, social networks or websites that compare prices or offer discounts, we are the buyers with more prior information on what we want or need to acquire.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

(a). Total variable Cost = $2,890,000

Total variable Cost Per Unit  = $289  

(b). Variable Cost Markup Percentage = 12.46%

(c). Selling Price Per Unit = $325

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

a). Total Fixed Cost = Selling and Administrative Expenses + Factory Overhead

= $140,000 + $350,000 = $490,000

Fixed Cost Per Unit = Total Fixed Cost ÷ Cost of Produced and Selling Units

= $490,000 ÷ 10,000 = $49

Total variable Cost Per Unit = Fixed Cost Per Unit + Variable Cost Per Unit

= $49 + $240 = $289

Total variable Cost = Cost of Produced and Selling Units × Total Cost Per Unit

= 10,000 × $289 = $2,890,000

b). Desired Profit = Invested Assets × 30%

= $1,200,000 × 30÷100 = $360,000

Variable Cost Markup Percentage = Desired Profit ÷ Total Cost

=$360,000 ÷ $2,890,000 = 0.1246 = 12.46%

c). Selling Price Per Unit = (1 + Variable Cost Markup Percentage) × Total Cost Per Unit

= (1 + 12.46%) × $289

= 1.1246 × $289

= $325

By the end of jane eyre, to what extent is jane now equal with rochester? what changes in each of their conditions account for t
Ostrovityanka [42]
It is possible to question Jane Eyre’s proto-feminism on the grounds that Jane only becomes Rochester’s full equal (as she claims to be in the novel’s epilogue-like last chapter) when he is physically infirm and dependent on her to guide him and read to him—in other words, when he is physically incapable of mastering her. However, it is also possible that Jane now finds herself Rochester’s equal not because of the decline Rochester has suffered but because of the autonomy that she has achieved by coming to know herself more fully.<span />
