Answer:

The sales tax is regressive with respect to income

Explanation:

sales tax by Jennifer = 0.1*30000

                                   = 3000

tax/income = 3000/50000

                   = 6%

sales tax by steve = 0.1*27000

                                   = 2700

tax/income = 2700/30000

                   = 9%

The tax increases with decrease in income, it indeed is regressive on the whole.

Therefore, The sales tax is regressive with respect to income

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

c. The "apparent," but not necessarily the "true," financial position of a company whose sales are seasonal can change dramatically during a given year, depending on the time of year when the financial statements are constructed.

Explanation:

Financial statements are used to show the financial activity of a business within a given period.

One of the principles of a accounting is periodicity. This requires businesses to report their financial position at regular intervals consistently, and not in an inconsistent manner. So if a business reports their finances twice a year. At year end and at mid year, it is possible that at mid year due to seasonal sales performance will be high and business is perceived to be highly profitable.

But financial report at end of year in the off-season will show low performance.

So for seasonal businesses there can be apparent view of a business during the year that can change dramatically because of time at which reports are made.

If Kindle e-readers and Nook e-readers are substitutes, a higher price for Nooks would result in a(n) ______.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: a) increase in the demand for Kindles.

Explanation: the substitution effect for substitute goods gives that, if the price of good A rises, the demand for good B rises. Since a substitute good is a good that can be used in place of another, they are goods that a consumer perceives as similar or are comparable, in such a way that having more of one good causes the consumer to desire less of the other good. From the viewpoint of price, and given that consumers always prefer to spend less in instances where two goods are substitutes, it then means that Kindle can be used and preferred in place of Nooks given that the price of Nooks had gone up. Therefore, increasing the price of Nooks causes a corresponding increase in the demand for Kindles.

Two​ firms, A and B​, must each choose either a low price or a high price for their product. The payoff matrix shows the profit
ahrayia [7]

Answer: 1. A.Both firms will choose the low price.

2. B. Both firms would choose the high price.

Explanation:

1. If the firms cannot cooperate with each other and must choose simultaneously, both firms will choose the low price.

This is because at the low price both of them are at the highest profit they can make when they are not cooperating. For instance, if Firm B chooses Low Price and Firm A chooses High Price, Firm A will make $3 million while Firm be will make $8 million.

If Firm B decides to have a high price then firm A will take the low price and make $8 million in profit while Firm B makes $4 million. If they are not working together, they will both have to take the low price to make the most profit.

2. If the firms could cooperate with each​ other, both firms would choose the high price.

The is because they will be making more than competing and getting a lower profit. Should they cooperate they will each get $7 million in profit because they will pick the option they can both make the highest profit at. The is better than competing and making only $5 and $6 million respectively.

If you need any clarification do comment. Cheers.

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning
spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. The adjusted balance in the retained earning is shown below:

= beginning balance of retained earning + adjusted net income

where,

beginning balance of retained earning is $860,000

And, the adjusted net income is

= $68,000 × (1 - 0.35)

= $44,200

So, the adjusted balance in the retained earning is

= $860,000 + $44,200

= $904,200

2. Now the journal entry is

Inventory $68,000

      To Retained earning $44,200

      To Tax payable $23,800   ($68,000  × 35%)

(Being the adjustment of ending inventory is recorded)

It increased the inventory and along with it it also increased the equity and liabilities so the respective account is debited and credited
