Because percentage of income use for consumption tends to fall/reduced as income of that person rises.

For examples, let's say that Person A earn $10 a year and person B earn $ 100 year. When both person A and person B decided to buy a bread, both would be subjected to a consumption tax of $ 1.

Many experts say this as regressive because the impact of consumption tax actually would be harsher for people in lower income. From the example above the consumption tax took 10% of the person A's income while it only take 1% of person B's income.

The basis for this argument is that consumption tax takes a larger percentage of income from low income earners than from high income earners. This is because consumption tax is uniformly applied to all people irrespective of their situation.<span />

adell [148]

Answer:

                                      Debit                  Credit

Trade payable                 $300

Cash                                                           $300                              

Explanation:

First we have to reverse the wrong journal entry which has been made by the inexperienced bookkeeper in the Adams Company accounts:

                                      Debit                  Credit

Trade payable                 $300

Cash                                                           $300                              

Now we have to record the correct journal entry in the accounts of Adam Company in respect of account settlement with supplier which is given as follow:

                                      Debit                  Credit

Trade payable                 $300

Cash                                                           $300

Sally is planning to sell her company and she prefers to obtain immediate liquidity, and the value of consideration to be fixed.
ella [17]

Answer: A cash sale

                                           

Explanation: In simple words, liquidity refers to the ability of an organisation to bear its short term expenses. For that a company must have cash or some assets that can be readily converted into cash in case of need.

Hence Sally should sell her company in cash sale as it will result in inflow of cash which will create liquidity and also the consideration will be certain with short timely payments.

Other option such as IPO or  stock for stock might result in increase in value but certainly won't give her liquidity.

The __ approach takes into account both the magnitude and timing of cash flows over the entire life of a project in measuring it
Nikolay [14]

Answer: d. internal rate of return

Explanation:

The Internal Rate of Return can be a very useful method for measuring the viability of a product because it takes into account the magnitude and timing of cashflows when it discounts it to the current period to find out if it will lead to a higher NPV than zero.

The other methods have their limitation. The payback period does not take into account the entire lifetime but rather stops as soon as the project pays back and the other two do not take into account the timing of the cashflows.
