Answer:

'Taxes' can be defined as a compulsory contribution to the state's or country's revenues, which are levied by the governments on personal incomes of individuals or profits of the corporate, or on some transactions.

Taxes are the main source of revenues for any government, through which it receives the necessary funds to spend on various activities it undertakes for public welfare and maintaining the law and order and security of the nation.

Many theorists believe that every tax should be evaluated on certain standards and the following four standards have been mentioned for evaluating whether taxes are good or not:

  1. Taxes should be sufficient to fulfill the government's requirements
  2. Taxes should be convenient for the government to implement and for the citizens to pay
  3. Taxes should be efficient economically
  4. Taxes should be fair

There may be certain provisions introduced in the federal tax system, which are targeted to induce certain behaviors or shift people's attention towards certain activities. These provisions are called tax preferences

Does this proposed change in Jurisdiction E's tax law meet the definition of a tax preference? Explain briefly.

In the given question, the decision of the jurisdiction to give deduction to the people for the snow removal equipment they purchase, is definitely a tax preference as it induces people to invest in snow removing machines, as they are getting full deduction of such expense in income taxes.

By having this provision, the government is motivating people to invest in these machines, and people also have the benefit of having such machine with them, and also getting tax deduction for such expense, so getting such machine almost free (this applies to people who have incomes in such tax bracket only). Thus it is the way of government in encouraging people to buy snow removing machines and reduce the burden on the government. Thus it is clearly a tax preference.

Jurisdiction E forecasts that the proposed change will decrease its annual tax revenues by $250,000 but will improve the jurisdiction's financial condition by $300,000. On what assumptions is this forecast based?

The forecast regarding decrease in annual tax and improvement in financial condition is based on the assumptions of people taking benefit of such a provision, and actually investing in snow removing machines.

The jurisdiction believes that people will purchase the machines and make claims for deductions, effecting the tax revenue by $250,000. But at the same time, as many people will themselves remove the snow, the government doesn't have to spend so much on snow removal and thus make the savings of $300,000

Missionary selling:
Valentin [98]

Missionary selling is often an entry position for higher level sales and marketing jobs.

Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

An inventive missionary retailer can sell a business two or three times. Missionary sales jobs are often a road to orders.

Missionary selling is a type of sales by which a salesperson advises a person who affects the purchase decision. The purpose is not to end a sale but simply to obtain information from the main decision-maker. It is an indirect sale method.

Missionary employment in scientific, pharmacy and textbook sales is quite common.

Professional companies such as IBM and Xerox depend on missionary vendors for program specialists. Systems specialists collaborate with clients to overcome scientific or organizational challenges. Salespeople tell about innovative items that offer alternatives in the process of finding solutions. A technical expert who advises an organization to minimize its product shipping time may, for example, suggest a software program that simplifies the shipping process.

Oxana [17]

Answer:

 export               import                net export  

1. increases         unchanged         increases

2. unchanged       increases             decreases

3.  unchanged       increases             decreases

4. unchanged       increases             decreases

5. increases         unchanged         increases

Explanation:

export would comprise of goods and services produced in the US that are been sold to foreign countries

Import would comprise of foreign produced goods and services that are been sold in the US

Net export would increase when export occurs and decrease when import occurs

Net export = exports – imports

When the French historian visits the US museum and the European family visits Disney,  they are enjoying US services, thus export increases and net export increases

The purchase of books from Cambridge in UK, Panasonic camera and the visit to Japan constitutes import. These increases import and reduces net export
