Describe the first institution of the income tax in the United States, the reason behind it, and what happened to it.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: The system of tax began in America in the year 1861, this was during the civil war, where the Congress passed an Act that included a tax on personal incomes inorder to meet up war expenses.

Explanation:

The system of tax began in America in the year 1861, this was during the civil war, where the Congress passed an Act that included a tax on personal incomes inorder to meet up war expenses. The tax system was cancelled after 10years of the practice but was later reinstated by the Congress in 1894 on federal level, but it was ruled out the following year by the Supreme Court because it was taxed directly and not according to the population of each state. In the year 1913 the federal government was allowed to tax everyone irrespective of the sizes of their state by the 16th amendment. This has been what's obtainable about the tax system till date.

amid [387]

Answer:

How much money will you need to have at the moment you retire?

  • $1,287,858

How much money do you need to save every year before retirement?

  • $4,971.33

Explanation:

we have to first determine the amount of money you need to finance your retirement distributions:

using the annuity due present value formula, PV = annuity payment x annuity due factor (PV, 8%, n = 40)

PV = $100,000 x 12.87858 = $1,287,858

now we must use the ordinary annuity future value formula, FV = annuity payment x annuity factor (FV, 8%, n = 40)

annuity payment = FV / annuity factor = $1,287,858 / 259.057 = $4,971.33

Suppose that two Japanese companies, Hitachi and Toshiba, are the sole producers (i.e., duopolists) of a microprocessor chip use
Dima020 [189]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a) When both Hitachi and Toshiba engage in a limited campaign, they both earn $11 million.

If both engage in an extensive campaign they both earn $8 million.

However, if one firm engages in an extensive campaign and the other firm engages in a limited one, the firm engaging in a limited campaign earns $4 million while the one engaging in an extensive campaign earns $16 million.

I have attached a photo to show the payoff matrix as a table.

b) In the absence of a binding and enforceable agreement, that is to say that if both firms are not colluding, Hitachi's dominant strategy would be to engage in an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN.

A Firm's dominant strategy in absence of an agreement is that strategy that a firm can go on and make a maximum amount of profit regardless of what the other firm does.

Should Hitachi engage in an Extensive Campaign, they will make $16 million in quarterly profit if Toshiba engages in a Limited Campaign. Should Toshiba also decide to engage in an Extensive Campaign, then Hitachi makes a profit of $8 million. This is therefore their best alternative as opposed to embarking on a limited Campaign where there is a chance that they will make $4 million.

With the Extensive Campaign, Hitachi's Minimum Payoff is $8 million.

c) The game is the same for both players so the best option for Hitachi, is the best option for Toshiba as well. This means that Toshiba's dominant Strategy is an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN and their minimum payoff is $8 million as well.

Short-term price reductions that can be used to retaliate against a competitor's actions like introducing a new product are call
vlada-n [284]

Short-term price reductions that can be used to retaliate against a competitor's actions like introducing a new product are called deals.

Instead of considering an asset's long-term fundamentals, short-term trading mostly concentrates on price action. This trading strategy looks for market volatility around significant economic data releases, corporate earnings, and political events in an effort to profit from sudden changes in market prices.

A mutual agreement or communication between two or more parties that intend to conduct business is referred to as a business deal. The transaction is typically carried out between a seller and a buyer to exchange valuable assets including money, products, services, and information.
