Answer:

The answer is: The excise tax on cola beverages is $2 per case.

Explanation:

Excise taxes are taxes levied on certain goods or services.

In this case the price of cola beverages is $4 per case, since excise taxes are included in the price of the product, then the excise tax on cola beverages = price paid by consumers - price received by producers = $4 - $2 = $2

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.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

<u>The target cost per iron= $83.25</u>

Profit Required = Required Investment * required rate of return

Cost= Sales- Profit

Cost=24,975,000.00

Per Unit Target Cost = Total Cost / Total Units

= $ 24,975,000/ 300,000

= $ 83.25

Harman [31]

Answer:

Let Lt = Loan in period t , t= 1...4

It = Investment in period t, t= 1...4

These are the decision variables

The objective is to maximize the net income which is the difference between Loan and investment in period 4

Investment income in period 4 = 110% of I4 = 1.1I4

Expense and loan in period 4 = 1.085 L4

So,

Maximize Z =  1.1I4-1.085 L4

Constraints

L1<= 3000

I1<= 4500

L1-I1= 100( Payroll payment)

L2<= 7000

I2<= 8000

L2+1.1I1-1.085L1-I2=120

L3<=4000

I3<= 6000

L3+1.12I2-1.085L2-I3=150

L4<=5000

I4<=7500

L4+1.13*I3-1.085L3-I4=100

1.10I4-1.085L4>=0

Lt, It>=0

dangina [55]

Answer:

A. $21,100

Explanation:

net cash flow year 1 = {[savings year 1 - (depreciation expense year 1)] x (1 - tax rate)]} + depreciation expense year 1

cash flow year 1 = {[$25,000 - ($30,000 x 33.33)] x (1 - 26%)} + ($30,000 x 33.33) = [($25,000 - $10,000) x 0.74] + $10,000 = $11,100 + $10,000 = $21,100
