If Congress ends an investment tax credit that used to subsidize domestic investment, how would this affect the market for loana

marin [14]

Answer: Demand will fall, Interest rates will fall

Explanation:

The investment tax credit would have encouraged more companies to seek loanable funds in order to embark on investment opportunities because they would be taxed less. This increase in demand in the market for loanable funds would have led to rates rising to keep up with demand.

If Congress were to end this credit, the incentive to invest and avoid tax would be gone. Companies would therefore demand less loanable funds and with this drop in demand there will be a drop in interest rates as well to entice people to borrow at the lower rates.

Taxes on goods with ___________ demand curves will tend to raise more tax revenue for the government than taxes on goods with __

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

Taxes on goods with INELASTIC demand curves will tend to raise more tax revenue for the government than taxes on goods with ELASTIC.

Goods with inelastic demand are insensitive to price. An increase price of the goods for example from an increase in tax on the goods will have no significant effect in the quantity demanded. Consumers will still buy it with an higher. So taxing this goods is a good source of revenue for the government.

Whereas goods with elastic demand are very sensitive to rice. Any slight increase in price will result in a significant decrease in quantity demanded. So government increasing tax on this good will be bad for its tax revenue because consumers won't be it

Part b

0.6 or 60 %

Part c

Break-even sales (units) = 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = $1,920,000

Part d

See attachment

Part e

Margin of safety in dollars = $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage = 33.3 %

Part f

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

Income Statement :

Sales - Expenses = Income

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

Contribution Margin ratio :

Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $1,728,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 0.6 or 60 %

Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

= 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

= $1,920,000

Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :

Margin of safety in dollars = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)

= $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

= $960,000

Margin of safety in % = (Expected Sales - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales

= $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 33.3 %

Operating leverage

Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

= $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

= 3.00
