Answer:

B. buyers bear most of the incidence of the tax.

Explanation:

If demand is inelastic, quantity demanded is insensitive to changes in price.

If supply is elastic, a small change in price has a great effect on quantity supplied. Quantity supplied is sensitive to changes in price.

If a tax is imposed on gasoline, the incidence (who pays for the tax) can be beqred by the consumers because they have an inelastic demand. If the price of gasoline rises , the quantity demanded doesn't change.

If the tax incidence was borne by the suppliers, the quantity supplied would drop.

A firm spends a great deal of money in advertising to inform consumers of the brand name of its mushrooms. Should consumers conc

djyliett [7]

Answer: B. Yes. Branding allows the mushrooms to be easily identified in the future. Thus, if they were of inferior quality, the company would lose customers and go out of business over time.

Explanation:

Branding is a way of making sure that your product is easily identifiable over other products.

When a company brands it's goods, they are trying to create Brand Awareness and this usually happens when a company plans to stay in a business for a while and indeed with the way the Firm is spending a lot of money on Advertising, one can surmise that they do indeed plan to stay in the business because they have spent a lot.

It would therefore make little to no sense on their part to spend such huge amounts of money to build their brand if their products will be of low quality. The mushrooms have to be of high quality so that people may associate their brand with High Quality.

On October 1, 2018, Swifty Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $125000 with an estimated 5-year li

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The book value of the plant asset on the December 31, 2018 is $75,000.

Explanation:

Determine the depreciable cost,

The depreciable cost = Acquisition cost - Salvage value.

The depreciable cost = 125,000 - 30,500.

The depreciable cost = $94,500.

Determine the annual depreciation expense,

The annual depreciation expense = depreciable cost/useful life

The annual depreciation expense = 94,000/5

The annual depreciation expense = $18,900.

Find the % rate of depreciation .

The % rate of depreciation = (18,900/94,500) × 100.

% rate of depreciation = 20%

Since it is the double-declining-balance method of depreciation we multiply the % rate by 2 = 20% × 2 = 40%

Applying the rate to the carrying value of the asset to obtain current year's depreciation expense.

Current year's depreciation expense = Carrying value of the asset × the depreciation rate %.

Current year's depreciation expense = 125,000 × 40%.

Current year's depreciation expense = $75,000
