Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
An increase in the size of tax is likely to increase the tax revenue when the price elasticity of supply, as well as price elasticity of demand, are both large.
The imposition of tax will cause an increase in the price of the product. If the price elasticity of demand is higher, an increase in the price will lead to a more than proportionate decrease in demand.
At the same time, high price elasticity of supply means that when the tax is imposed the sellers will be able to reduce quantity more easily.
So when less output is produced and demanded the tax revenue will also be lower.

False
Explanation:
Have you ever heard the phrase "there are lies, [email protected] lies and statistics"?
The only way that a statistical study be 100% confident is that it involves everyone or everything. For example, if you want to carry on a study about how many US college students drive, in order to be 100% confident of the result, you would need to interview all the college students in the country.
Answer:
$850
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Initial investment = $15,000
Expected annual net cash flows over four years, R = $5,000
Return on the investment = 10% = 0.10
Present value of an annuity factor for 10% and 4 periods, PVAF = 3.1699
The present value of $1 factor for 10% and 4 periods = 0.6830
Now,
Net present value = [ R × PVAF ] - Initial investment
= [ $5,000 × 3.1699 ] - $ 15,000
= $15,849.50 - $ 15000
= $849.50 ≈ $850
Answer:
4.76%
Explanation:
The requirement in this question is determining the discount rate which gives the same present value in both cases since discount rates discount future cash flows to present value terms.
PV of a pertuity=annual cash flow/discount rate
PV of a pertuity=$17,000/r
PV of ordinary annuity=annual cash flow*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
PV of ordinary annuity=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
$17,000/r=$30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18/r
multiply boths side by r
17000=30,000*(1-(1+r)^-18
divide both sides by 30000
17000/30000=1-(1+r)^-18
0.566666667=1-(1+r)^-18
by rearraging the equation we have the below
(1+r)^-18=1-0.566666667
(1+r)^-18=0.433333333
divide indices on both sides by -18
1+r=(0.433333333)^(1/-18)
1+r=1.047554315
r=1.047554315-1
r=4.76%
