Answer:
$ 244 million
Explanation:
Calculation for how much has GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory
Tax rate Amount (In millions)
LIFO $ 10,315.00 35% =$ 3,610.25
FIFO $ 11,012.00 35% =$ 3,854.20
Savings in taxes $ (697.00) $ (243.95)
Hence,
Savings in taxes=$ 3,610.25 million-$ 3,854.20 million
Savings in taxes=($243.95 million)
Savings in taxes=($ 244 million) Approximately
Therefore the amount that GE saved in taxes by choosing LIFO over FIFO method for costing inventory will be $ 244 million
Answer:
price floor , binding
price ceiling binding
price floor , non binding
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
Price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a product. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price
Because firms are unable to hire workers due to the minimum wage laws., it means it is binding price floor
Equilibrium price is $3 and the maximum price is $2.70 . Thus, it is a binding price ceiling
Equilibrium price is $3 and the minimum price is $2.70 . Thus, it is a binding floor
Answer:
$93
Explanation:
Social security tax is a constant figure of 6.2% for each paycheck.
Tate's annual pay is $36,000. If she is paid twice per month, it means she has 24 paychecks. ( 12 months x 2 payments).
For each payment, she receives, $36,000 divide by 24 paychecks
=$36,000 /24
=$1500
Amount withheld for each paycheck is
=6.2% of $1500
=6.2/100 x 1500
=0.062 X 1500
=$93
1. decreases
2. increases3. decreases
4. decreases
The answers here require you to understand the terms involved. So let's look at the options and see what is what.
1. The price of a substitute good ▼ increases decreases​
* A substitute good is some good that can be used as a substitute for another good. So if that substitute becomes cheaper, it will be used more as a substitute for the original good. So the answer is "decreases"
2. The price of a complementary good ▼ decreases increases​,
* A complementary good is a good that's used in conjunction with another good. Something like milk and cookies. As more cookies are consumed, more milk is desired to go along with the cookies. So increasing the price of the complementary good will decrease the demand of the other good. So the answer is "increases"
3. Consumer income â–Ľ increases decreases
* If the consumer has less money to spend, then spending on non-essential goods will decrease. So the answer is "decreases".
4. Population â–Ľ decreases increases
* A smaller population is a reduced consumer base, so fewer goods are purchased. The answer is "decreases"
Answer:
0.73
Explanation:
Given that
WACC = 11%
Tax rate = 34%
Cost of equity = 14.9 %
Cost of debt = 8.6%
Recall that
WACC = (cost of equity × % of equity) + (cost of debt × % of debt) + ( 1 - tax rate)
We are to find
Cost of debt and cost of equity
Let
Cost of debt be x
Cost of equity be (1 - x)
Thus,
0.11 = (1 - x)(0.149) + (x)(0.086)(1 - 0.34)
x = 0.4228
Therefore,
Debt-equity ratio
= Cost of debt/cost of equity
= 0.4228/(1 - 0.4228)
= 0.73
