............... total surplus INCREASES when the price of ethanol increases. When the supply curve for a product is upward sloping, it indicates that more of that product is been produced. Thus, in the question given more of corn is been produced, if the price of ethanol increases, then total surplus will also increase. Total surplus is the summation of the consumer and producer surplus.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Let suppose the value of property is 100 dollars currently.

The price of a certain property increased by 10% in the first year, means the value of property at this point is (100 *1.1) 110 dollars.

In the third year the value of property increases by 25% mean the value of property at this point is (88*1.25) 110 dollars that is 25% more than previous value determine.

This year, Paula and Simon (married filing jointly) estimate that their tax liability will be $218,000. Last year, their total t
romanna [79]

Answer:

1. Yes

2. $7,400

Explanation:

Basic Rules For Estimated Tax For Individuals

Any individual who has estimated tax for the year of $1,000 or more and  whose withholding does not equal or exceed the “required annual payment” must make quarterly payments. Otherwise, a penalty may be assessed. The required annual payment is the smaller of the following amounts:  

1.Ninety percent of the tax shown on the current year's return.  

2.One hundred percent of the tax shown on the preceding year's return (the return must cover the full 12 months of the preceding year). If the AGI on the preceding year's return exceeds $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately), the 100% requirement is increased to 110%.

Are Paula and Simon required to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty?

Following the basic rules above, yes, Paula and Simon have to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty.

If so, how much?

Amount of income tax liability = $218,000

In general, taxpayers must pay at least 90 percent of their tax bill during the year to avoid an underpayment penalty when they file.

Therefore Minimum estimated payments-90% : $218,000 * 0.9 = $196,200

110% of the preceding year's tax: $182,000 * 1.10 = $200,200

According to the basic rules the required annual payment is the smaller which is $196,200.

Tax withholding from their employers = $188,800

Estimated tax payments required = $196,200 - $188,800 = $7,400

Sellers allow customers to use credit cards for all of the following reasons: (You may select more than one answer. Single click
Tasya [4]

Answer:

c. seller receives cash sooner than if credit is granted directly to the customers

d. may allow seller to increase sales volume

Explanation:

When a customer uses a credit card, the bank that issued the card pays the seller immediately, and later, the bank recovers the money plus interest from the customer.

So this method allows for a faster collection of cash (basically immediatly) than if the seller granted the credit directly to the customer.

Credit cards also allow seller to increase sales volume because many people lack the cash necessary to pay down the full value of the purchase.
