You manage a company that competes in an industry that is comprised of four equal-sized firms that produce similar products. A r

ecent industry report indicates that the market is fairly saturated, in that a 10 percent industry-wide price increase would lead to a 18 percent decline in units sold by all firms in the industry. Currently, Congress is considering legislation that would impose a tariff on a key input used by the industry. Your best estimate is that, if the legislation passes, your marginal cost will increase by two dollars.
Based on this information, what price increase would you recommend if the tariff legislation is passed by Congress?

Explanation:

It is given that in the market there are four equal-sized firms that produce similar products. The market is saturated such that 10% industry-wide price rise would lead to 18% decline in units sold by all firms in the industry. Going further, there is a proposed legislation that imposes a tariff on a key input used by the industry, which on realization would result in the increase in marginal cost by $2.

This means that the market elasticity of demand is:

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

$2914

Explanation:

The following steps would be taken to determine the answer

1. Calculate depreciation expense given the initial information  

2. calculate the accumulated depreciation by the second year. Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense

3. subtract the accumulated depreciation from the cost price of the asset. This would give the book value  

4. calculate the depreciation expense using the new information and the book value

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($9,920 - $1240) / 5 =  $1736

Accumulated depreciation = 1736 x 2 = $3472

Book value at the beginning of 2021 = 9920 - 3472 = $6448

Depreciation expense in 2021 = (6448 - 620) / 2 = $2914

Max and nora have modified agi of $75,000, and adopted a little boy from san antonio, texas, in the current year and incurred a
miskamm [114]

Answer:$9,000

Explanation:

The tax credit offered to adoptive parents to encourage adoption is reffered to as ADOPTION TAX CREDIT. The adoption tax credit is a nonrefundable tax credit. This means that people owing taxes are also fit or qualified to apply for the adoption tax credit.

In the United States of America, adoption tax credit qualified expenses include court costs, traveling expenses, lawyer's or Attorney's fee and other expenses for legal adoption of an eligible child.

It can be calculated by subtracting

the max's employer provided for the couple with adoption benefits of $4,000 from the incurred expenses of a total of $13,000 in qualified adoption expenses(from the question).

That is; $13,000-$4,000.

= $9,000.

Hence, the maximum amount of adoption credit they can take this year is $9,000.
