Answer:
The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $3 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $2 per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.
Explanation:
The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 ($3 + $2).
The burden on consumers is $3 ($9 - $6), which is the difference between the after-tax purchase price and the before-tax purchase price for consumers. This implies that the burden passed to consumers is $3 out of the total tax burden of $5.
The burden on producers is $2 ($6 - $4) which represents the difference between before-tax selling price and the after-tax selling price for the producers. This means that the burden passed to producers is $2 out of the total tax burden of $5.
If the tax burden were passed to the producers alone, the selling price would have been more than $11 ($6 + 5). This would have reduced demand for wine as consumers would have been forced to bear the total burden. This would have made the tax unequitable. This would have been the case unless demand is inelastic. That means that the total demanded is not sensitive to price increases.
Answer:
WDF Inc. is correct. From the fact that JLG Architectural Products and East Coast Window Installers Inc. were partners in the window installation subcontract, they should be jointly and severally held liable for any liability arising from the window installation project unless they have contrary agreements clearly differentiating their liabilities in the partnership.
Explanation:
WDF Inc. = main contractor
JLG Architectural Products = subcontractor and partner to East Coast
East Coast Window Installers Inc. = subcontractor and partner to JLG
JLG Architectural Products and East Coast Window Installers Inc have formed a partnership when they come together to form a business or execute a business transaction jointly. A joint venture is a kind of partnership.
Answer:
Total $46,319.9565
Explanation:
We need to calculate the value of the present value of the bond payment
and the maturity using the current market rate
C 2500 (50,000 x 0.10/2)
time 10 (5 years 2 payment per year)
rate 0.06 (12% annual --> divide by 2 to convert semiannual)
PV $18,400.2176
Maturity 50000
time 10
rate 0.06
PV $27,919.7388
PV bond interest payment $18,400.2176
PV maturity payment $27,919.7388
Total $46,319.9565
Answer:
The correct answer is "Unity of command"
Explanation:
The principle of unity of command mentions that an employee only can report to one person or boss per organization to avoid distractions and disorder.
Henry Fayol said "As soon as two superiors wield their authority over the same person or department, uneasiness makes itself felt, the disorder increases. The spirit of authority will be overshadowed and discipline will be in danger"
