Answer: Progressive tax system
Explanation: The progressive tax system is where the income of an individual is taxable based on his or her capacity to pay. The individuals who earn less pay lesser tax as compared to higher-earning individuals.
The tax system doesn’t impose a burden on those who don’t have a sufficient amount to pay as taxes. By doing this the people who earn low income will be able to maintain a high living standard and the people who earn more are able to afford the basic necessities. So it balances the economy.

Answer: 1. D) Assets are understated
2. D) Car dealers
Explanation:
1. The shipping costs to bring Inventory into a business are known as Carriage Inwards. This amount is to be debited with the Inventory as it is considered to be part of the cost of acquiring the inventory. By not putting this cost with the inventory, ABC is undervaluing the inventory account which is an Asset account. The Assets are therefore understated.
2. The Specific Identification Method of inventory valuation is based on each individual unit purchased or sold. It does not group items and tracks each item from the moment it is purchased to the moment it is sold so the cost of the specific inventory is known. This method is used more often by businesses that deal with easily identifiable items such as Jewellers and Car dealers because each car is big enough to be tracked individually.
Answer:
d. Choose Option B because it has a higher NPV
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
For Option A:
Investment = $10 million
Present Value of cash flows = Cash flow ÷ Discounting rate
= $2 ÷ 10%
= $20 million
Now
NPV = $20 - $10
= $10 million
We know that
IRR is the rate at which the NPV will be zero
So, 2 ÷ r - 10 = 0
r = 20%
For Option B:
Investment = $50 million
Present Value of cash flows = $6.5 ÷ 10% = $65 million
NPV = $65 - $50 = $15 million
we know that
IRR is the rate at which the NPV will be zero
So, 6.5÷ r -50 = 0
r = 13%
Based on NPV, Option B should be selected as it contains higher NPV as compared to option A.
However, Based on IRR, Option A should be chosen as it contains higher IRR and a higher IRR represent a higher profit percentage
