Answer:

A. The majority of the tax will be borne by the producer.

Explanation:

When an Indirect Tax (impact & incidence on different people) is levied : The burden of it is shifted to the party (buyers/ sellers) whose element (demand/ supply) is more inelastic (less responsive to price).

In this case: If demand for Carlo Rossi wine is relatively elastic (because of substitutes presence) - levying tax on it will hence imply major burden to be borne be producer (because demand is relatively elastic).

b,c : All tax will be borne passed to consumer / producer - if demand is perfectly inelastic/ if supply will be perfectly inelastic respectively.

d: Majority tax will be borne by consumer - if demand is relatively inelastic (than supply)

Longley Trucking is issuing a 20-year bond with a $2,000 face value tomorrow. The issue is to pay an 8% coupon rate, because tha
Katen [24]

Answer:

Longly will receive $1,817.43 from selling the bond.

Explanation:

As the coupon rate is 8%; we have annual coupon payment = 2,000 x 8% = $160.

The price of the bond Longly will receive is equal to the present value of 20 annual coupon payment plus the present value of $2,000 face value repayment in 20 years time; with the two streams of cash flow discounting at the market rate at the date of issuing 9%; which is calculated as:

[ ( 160/9%) x [ 1 - 1.09^(-20) ] ] + ( 2,000 / 1.09^20 ) = $1,817.43.

So, the answer is $1,817.43.

Beverly Company has determined a standard variable overhead rate of $3.10 per direct labor hour and expects to incur 0.50 labor
Damm [24]

Answer:

Variable overhead rate variance = $ 875 favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance = $ 4,185 favorable

Variable overhead cost variance = $5,060 Favorable

Explanation:

Standard hours = 1 hr x 2600 units = 2600 hours

Standard rate = $3.10

Actual hours = 1,250 hours

Actual rate = $2.40

Variable overhead rate variance =  ( Standard Rate - Actual Rate ) x Actual Hrs

=  ( $ 3.10 - $2.40 ) x 1250 Hrs

= $0.7 x 1250

=$ 875 favorable

Variable overhead efficiency variance = (Standard hours - Actual hours) x Standard Rate

= (2600 - 1250 ) x $ 3.10

= $ 4,185 favorable

Variable overhead spending variance = Variable overhead rate variance +  Variable overhead efficiency variance

= $875 + $4,185

= $ 5,060 favorable

Variable overhead cost variance = Standard cost - Actual Cost

= (2600 X 3.10) - (1250 X 2.40) = 8,060 - 3000

= $5,060 Favorable

leonid [27]

Answer: c. $1.994

Explanation:

Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production (EUP) for Conversion = Total Conversion costs/ EUP

Total Conversion cost

= Conversion cost for beginning work in process inventory + Conversion cost incurred in the month

= 7,840 + 203,300

= $211,140

EUP = Units completed + Percentage of ending Units completed with regards to conversion

= 92,900 + (90% * 14,450)

= 105,905 units

Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production (EUP) for Conversion = 211,140 / 105,905

= $1.9936

= $1.994

Real per capita GDP in Singapore in 1960 was about $450, but it doubled to about $900.00 by 1977. a. What was the average annual
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

4.16%

Explanation:

to calculate Singapore's economic growth rate we can use the future value formula (we could also use the rule of 72 but it is not very exact):

future value = present value x (1 + r) ⁿ

  • future value = 900
  • present value = 450
  • n = 17
  • r = ?

900 = 450 (1 + r)¹⁷

(1 + r)¹⁷ = 900 / 450 = 2

1 + r = ¹⁷√2 = 1.0416

r = 1.0416 - 1 = 0.0416 or 4.16%
