Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 45 million cases of cola were sold ever

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Tax on a case of cola is $4 per case.

The burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case.

The burden that falls on producers is $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Explanation:

Tax on a case of cola = Amount that consumers pay after the tax has been charged - Amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4 per case

Burden on consumers = Amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - Amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $5 = $1 per case

Burden on producers = Tax on a case of cola - Burden on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Talja [164]

Answer:

C) producers to supply more and consumers to buy less.

Explanation:

The typical supply curve is upward-sloping (higher price leads to higer quantity supplied) and the typical demand curve is downward sloping (higher price lower quantity demanded).

Price is a measure of how much one good can be exchanged for other things. Production incurred cost (tend to rise as more resources become harder to obtain) so to supply more suppliers will demand higher price. Purchasing higher price good means consumers have less money (less of other goods can be bought) consumer will buy less good at higher price.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Net Present Value = $3,304.069

Explanation:

To determine whether or not the investment was right, we will need to determine the net present value of the investment (NPV).

The NPV is the difference between the present value PV of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.

NPV of an investment(NPV)

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow

The cash inflow is an annuity.

PV of annuity= A× 1 -(1+r)^(-n)/r

A- Annual cash flow ,- 23,400 r - discount rate - 8%, number of years- 3

Present Value of cash inflow =23,400 × (1- (1.08)^(-3)/0.08 = 60,304.06

Initial cost = 57,000

Net Present Value = 60,304.06 - 57,000 = 3,304.069

Net Present Value = $3,304.069

Kindly note that a discount rate of 8% was used as it is the opportunity cost of capital for the investment.
