Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every

week at a price of $4 per bottle. After the tax, 25,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $6 per bottle, and producers receive $3 per bottle (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax has been levied on consumers. True

Answer:

Explanation:

We were informed from the question that;

BEFORE; the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $4 per bottle.

AFTER; After the tax, 25,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $6 per bottle and producers receive $3 per bottle (after paying the tax).

✓✓The amount of tax on wine = $6 - $3 = $3 per bottle

✓✓The tax burden on consumers = The amount paid after tax - The amount paid before tax

= $6 - $4

=$2 per bottle

✓✓The tax burden on Producers = Price received before tax - price received after tax

= $4 - $3

=$1 per bottle

Hence, The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $3 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $2 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $1 per bottle.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers(FALSE)

This is false, since the The tax burden on Producers is $1 per bottle while that of The tax burden on consumer is $2 per bottle.

His income increased dramatically;from$5000 a year to $60,000 a year. Jim decides that instead of using the bus, he would buy a
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

This implies that bus is an inferior good and car is a normal good.

Explanation:

Initially, Jim's income was $5000 a year.

As his income increases to $60,000 a year, he decides to buy a car instead of using the bus.  

In other words, with the increase in income, the demand for traveling by bus is declining.  

This implies that it is an inferior good.  

The demand for the car is increasing with an increase in income.  

So, the car is a normal good.  

An inferior good can be defined as a product that shows negative elasticity. This means with an increase in income its demand declines an vice versa.

A normal good can be defined as a product that shows positive income elasticity. That is, its demand increases with rise in income and vice versa.

Net Present Value Method
arsen [322]

Answer:

year               net cash flow

0                     -$150,000

1                        $80,000

2                       $65,000

3                       $50,000

4                       $40,000

A) NPV = -$150,000 + ($80,000 x .87) + ($65,000 x .756) + ($50,000 x .658) + ($40,000 x .572) = -$150,000 + $69,600 + $49,140 + $32,900 + $22,880 = -$150,000 + $174,520 = $24,520

B) Yes , because the net present value indicates that the return on the proposal is greater than the minimum desired rate of return of 15%. Since the NPV is positive ($24,520), it means that the cash inflows are higher than the cash outflows when we use a 15% discount rate.

uysha [10]

Answer:

a). Accounting profits=$6,000

b). Economic profit=-$6,000

Explanation:

a). The accounting profits for Gomez's pottery firm can be expressed in the form;

Accounting profits-Total monetary revenue-Total monetary expenses

where;

Total monetary revenue=$86,000

Total monetary expenses=excludes opportunity cost=wages+rent+materials+equipment=(14,500+7,500+18,000+40,000)=$80,000

replacing;

Accounting profits=(86,000-80,000)=$6,000

Accounting profits=$6,000

b). Gomez's economic profit

Economic profit=Total revenue-total costs

where;

Total revenue=(86,000+5,000+6,000)=97,000

Total costs includes opportunity cost=(80,000+23,000)=103,000

replacing;

Economic profit=(97,000-103,000)=-$6,000

Economic profit=-$6,000

Kimble Company applies overhead on the basis of machine hours. Given the following data, compute overhead applied and the under-
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Compute overhead applied and the under- or overapplication of overhead for the period

Budgeted Rate = $1,600,000/ 400,000 machine hours

                         = $ 4 per Machine Hour

Overheads Applied = 390,000 × $ 4 per Machine Hour

                                       = 1,560,000

Actual Overheads            = 1,575,000

Less Applied Overheads = 1560,000

Under- Applied                =     15,000

Explanation:

<u>Overheads are Applied as follows:</u>

Actual Activity for the period × Budgeted Overhead Rate

<u>Budgeted Rate is determined as follows:</u>

Budgeted Total Overheads/Budgeted Activity

<u>Under- or Overapplication of overhead is determined as follows:</u>

Actual Overheads - Applied Overheads

Under Application is therefore : Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads

Over Application is therefore : Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads
