Sellers of a good bear the larger share of the tax burden when a tax is placed on a product for which the
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

b. demand in more elastic than the supply.

Explanation:

Elasticity is defines as the measure of responsiveness of quantity demanded and supplied to changes in price.

In a situation where demand is more elastic than supply and tax is imposed, the suppliers can bear more cost due to tax without the quantity changing by much.

On the other hand when taxes are applied if sellers want to move it to buyers that have elastic demand, it will result in a big fall in the quantity demanded.

So the seller's bear the cost in this scenario because demand is elastic and will fall with small price increase.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

whichever is lower

Explanation:

Any assets cost is recorded at present value or fair value, whichever is lesser. This is analogous to stock being valued at cost price or sale price, whichever is less.

The reason behind is Prudence or Conservatism principle of accounting. The principle states that anticipated losses should be accounted for, but the anticipated gains should not be accounted for.

So, the asset value is recorded at the least value of the alternative valuations.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

a) The Maximum Liam should be willing to pay is $23,089

Explanation:

The maximum amount Liam should be willing to pay for the investment is the present value of the future amount of 52,000  discounted at 7%.

The present value of a future sum is its worth in today's terms.This represents how much Liam should be offered now to make him  indifferent about the choice of receiving $52,000 in the future.

For example, It is the amount that should be invested today at 7% to become $52,000 in 12 years time.

The present value (PV) of a future sum (FV) can be ascertained using the formula below:

PV = FV × (1+r)^(-n)

PV = 52,000× (1+0.07)^(-12)

        = 52,000×0.4440

      = 23,088.62

      = $23,089

The Maximum Liam should be willing to pay is $23,089
