The marginal tax rate is simply the tax rate given in the income tax table. For example, if the table says that people who make up to $4999.99 pay a tax of 10% and that people who make more than $4999.99 but less than $10,000 (for example) pay a tax of 20%, then if your income increases from $4,000 to $5,000, the marginal tax rate you encounter would now be 20%. For a better understanding, notice the word marginal. In economics, this means the 'cost of one additional unit' of something. Thus, the marginal tax rate is the tax on 1 additional dollar of income.

Differentiation business strategies are often associated with premium prices. There are, however, reasons why a firm would NOT w

Natalija [7]

Answer: e. To drive up market share

Explanation:

Differentiation strategies involve adding features to a good to make it stand out from the Competition. Since these features are usually beneficial, the value of the good goes up and the company selling them can charge more. This is the main way things are done in Monopolistic markets.

However, sometimes it is best to charge the same price the Competition is charging even though you have a better product. This way the company is able to capture Market Share because the consumers will believe they are getting a better value for their money. For instance, if a company was selling Toyotas at $2,000 and it's competitor was selling the same Toyota but with 2 extra tires for the same $2,000 who would you use? The Competitor most likely.

This is why a firm might want to keep prices in line with competitors.

1. Computation for each division's margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI)

QUUEN LAND DIVISION MARGIN

Using this formula

Margin =Net operating income/Total Sales

Let plug in the formula

Margin =$70,200/ $ 1,080,000

Margin=6.50%

QUUEN LAND DIVISION ROI

First step is to determine the Turnover using this formula

Turnover=Total sales/Average Asset

Let plug in the formula

Turnover= $ 1,080,000 /$600,000

Turnover =1.8 times

Now let determine the ROI using this formula

ROI =Margin * Turnover

Let plug in the formula

ROI=6.50%*1.8

ROI=11.70%

NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION MARGIN

Margin =$ 83,475 / $ 2,385,000

Margin=3.5%

NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION ROI

First step is to determine the Turnover using this formula

Turnover=Total sales/Average Asset

Let plug in the formula

Turnover= $ 2,385,000 /$530,000

Turnover =4.5 times

Now let determine the ROI using this formula

ROI =Margin * Turnover

Let plug in the formula

ROI=3.5%*4.5

RO1=15.75%

2. Based on the above calculation the divisional manager that seems to be doing the better job

Is NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION because the ROI is greater.

Carla Vista Company purchased equipment that cost $3980000 on January 1, 2020. The entire cost was recorded as an expense. The e

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$1,800,402

Explanation:

Cost = $3,980,000

Lifespan = 9 yrs

Residual Value = $122,000

Depreciation per year = (Cost - Residual Value)/life

Depreciation per year = (3,980,000 - 122,000)/9

Depreciation per year = 3,858,000 / 9

Depreciation per year = $428,667

So, Tax saved = 40% of $428,667 = $171,467

Depreciation per year not considered = 3 yrs * $428,667 = (+)$1,286,001

Tax saved due to Depreciation = 3 yrs * $171,467 = (+)$514,401

So, retained earnings was understated by $1,286,001 + $514,401 = $1,800,402
