Yes. The U.S. tax system has a built-in stabilizers.

These built-in stabilizers are called automatic stabilizers. Automatic stabilizers are defined as the features of tax and transfer system that lends stability of the economy without direct intervention from the policy makers.

These stabilizers tempers the economy when it overheats and provides economic stimulus when it slumps. 

When:                           Automatic Stabilizers:
Incomes are high          <span>tax liabilities rise and eligibility for government benefits falls
Incomes are low            </span><span>tax liabilities drop and more families become eligible for government                                         transfer programs (food stamps, unemployment insurance)</span>

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Customer and Product Margin under Activity-based Costing and Traditional Costing

True Statements:

1. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the customer margin under activity based costing will decrease.

2. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the product margin under a traditional costing system will be unaffected.

Explanation:

Customer Margin is the difference between the total revenue generated from a customer minus the acquisition and service costs.   In the above instance, the customer margin decreases because of the costs of servicing the customer's frequent orders.  Customer service costs are usually higher with more frequent orders, when activity-based costing is employed because frequent orders increase the activity level and the associated costs.

Product Margin is the profit margin generated per product.   It is the markup on the cost of the product.  It shows the difference in amount between the selling price and the manufacturing cost.  Frequent orders cannot change the product margin under the traditional costing technique unlike it does with the activity-based costing technique.

What should the accumulated depreciation equal at the end of the asset's useful life?
Advocard [28]

What should the accumulated depreciation equal at the end of the asset's useful life The Balance In Accumulated Depreciation Will Be The Same Amount Under all the depreciation methods.

The depreciation of an asset up to one point in its life is referred to as accumulated depreciation. Since accumulated depreciation is a counter asset account, its natural equilibrium is a credit that lowers the asset's total value. General accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require that expenses be matched to the same accounting period in which the relevant revenue is generated. This is known as the matching principle. A business will depreciate a portion of a capital asset's value over the course of each year of its useful life. This implies that the expense related to using up an asset that has been capitalised is reported every year the asset is put to use and generates income.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

16%

Explanation:

Calculation for the margin that Auagaa474 needed to earn in order to achieve an ROI of 27.2%

First step is to calculate the Turnover using this formula

Turnover = Sales ÷ Average operating assets

Let plug in the formula

Turnover= $491,300 ÷$289,000

Turnover=1.7

Now let calculate the margin using this formula

ROI = Margin × Turnover

Let plug in the formula

27.2% = Margin × 1.7

Margin = 27.2% ÷ 1.70

Margin=0.16*100

Margin= 16%

Therefore the margin that Auagaa474 needed to earn in order to achieve an ROI of 27.2% will be 16%
