Answer:

Mary's income:

  • salary = $117,000
  • dividend income = $13,500
  • interest on bonds = $5,700
  • long term capital gains = $21,000 - $6,000 = $15,000
  • short term capital gains = $11,000 - $7,400 = $3,600

Mary's adjusted gross income:

  • taxable income = $117,000 + $13,500 + $5,700 + $3,600 = $139,800
  • capital gains = $15,000

Mary's exemption + itemized deduction = $4,000 + $7,500 = $11,500

  • since the exemption plus the itemized deductions are lower than the standard deduction, Mary should use the standard deduction ($12,200 > $11,500).

*since we are not given the table containing the tax bracket, I will use the current 2019 tax brackets:

A) taxable income = $139,800 - $12,200 = $127,600 + $15,000 (capital gains 15%)

federal tax liability = [$14,382.50 + 24% x ($127,600 - $84,200)] + ($15,000 x 15%) = ($14,382.50 + $10,416) + $2,250 = $24,798.50 + $2,250 = $27,048.50

B) Mary's marginal tax rate is 24%

C) Mary's average tax rate = $24,798.50 / $127,600 = 19.43%

The price of a certain property increased by 10% in the first year, decreased by 20% in the second year, and increased by 25% in
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Let suppose the value of property is 100 dollars currently.

The price of a certain property increased by 10% in the first year, means the value of property at this point is (100 *1.1) 110 dollars.

In the second year the value of property decreases by 20% mean the value of property at this point is (110*0.80) 88 dollars, that is 80% of previous value determine.

In the third year the value of property increases by 25% mean the value of property at this point is (88*1.25) 110 dollars that is 25% more than previous value determine.

So in second year the value in dollars is 88 dollars.

2) A firm sells two products. Product R sells for $20; its variable cost is $6. Product S sells for $50; its variable cost is $3
Tom [10]

Answer:

$6896551.7

Explanation:

Given the following :

Product R:

Selling price = $20

Variable cost = $6

Product S:

Selling price = $50

Variable cost = $30

Firm's fixed cost = $4, 000,000

Break-even point dollars = (Fixed cost /Contribution margin ratio)

Contribution margin : selling price - variable cost

Product R: $(20 - 6) = $14

Contribution margin ratio = ($14/$20) * 60% = 0.42

Product S: $(50 - 30) = $20

Contribution margin ratio = ($20/$50) * 40% = 0.16

Sum of contribution margin ratio for both products = (0.42 + 0.16) = 0.58

Break-even point dollars = (Fixed cost /sum of Contribution margin ratio)

= $4,000,000/0.58

= $6896551.7

Alexus [3.1K]

This is an example of competition principle of value.

The required details about business principle of value is mentioned in below paragraph.

The term "business" designates an innovative person, group, or organization that engages in commercial activity. They might be business-related, industrial, or something else. Businesses that operate for profit do so in order to make a profit, while those that operate for good will do so.

Competition's guiding principle: According to the competition principle, excessive profits in any industry will result in excessive competition, which will then obliterate profits. Think about a business that debuts in a secure neighborhood.

What benefit does rivalry have?

The cornerstone of a robust American economy is healthy market competition. Fundamental economic theory shows that when businesses compete for customers, it results in cheaper prices, better goods and services, more variety, and more innovation.

Thus, competition is the correct answer.

Dan owns an autographed copy of a brittany spears cd that he values at $100. if he sells the cd at the garage sale he's planning
Delvig [45]

The complete question is as follows:

Dan owns an autographed copy of a Brittany Spears CD that he values at $100. If he sells the CD at the garage sale he’s planning to hold in a few weeks, it will be sold to a buyer with a reservation price of $175. If he sells it on eBay, it will be sold to a buyer with a reservation price of $500. eBay will charge Dan $50 to auction the CD, which just covers eBay’s opportunity cost of running the auction. Relative to selling the CD at his garage sale, auctioning the CD on eBay will lead:

A. to no change in total economic surplus.

B. total economic surplus to increase by $500.

C. total economic surplus to increase by $275.

D. total economic surplus to increase by $100.

Answer: C - Total economic surplus to increase by $275.

In this question, we only need to consider producers' surplus since we're considering the various options for Dan to sell his CD.

We calculate Producer's Surplus as follows:

Producer's surplus = Market Selling Price - Economic Cost.

Economic costs not only refers to explicit costs like cost of the CD, but also includes opportunity costs. Since we need to calculate producer's surplus when Dan sells on Ebay, we need to consider the following costs:

Value of the CD = $100

Ebay's opportunity cost that Dan will have to bear = $50

Profit Dan would've received in garage sale = $75 ($175 - $100)

Among the three expenses listed above, the profit Dan would've got in the garage sale is considered the <u>implicit cost or opportunity cost.</u>

Substituting the values we have in the equation above, we get,

Producer's Surplus = 500 - (100+50+75)

Producer's Surplus = 275
