Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5).  However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5  to $2.  This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone.   This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit.  Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.

jeyben [28]

Answer:

$63,852

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a) PV of payments is

= $23,500 × (1.07^30 - 1) ÷ (0.07 × 1.07^30)

= $2,91,612

b) The Loan PV of payments is $3,00,000

c) And, the Balloon payment required is

= (Borrowed amount - loan PV payments) × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= ($300,000 - $291,612) × 1.07^30

= $63,852

Which of the following describes the substitution effect of a price change?A) The change in demand that results from a change in
Liula [17]

Answer:

The answer is D. The change in quantity demanded of a good that results from a change in price, making the good more or less expensive relative to other goods, holding constant the effect of the price change on consumer purchasing power

Explanation:

Substitution effect is a concept in which, as the price of a good or service increases, less of the good or service is substituted for other less expensive.

For example, if the price of Pepsi were to rise, the substitution effect would cause the consumer to buy less of it and substitute more coca-cola for now relatively more expensive Pepsi.

Option A. is wrong because we are talking about the quantity demanded and not just demand. (Please take note).
