Answer:
The amount of tax on a case of Cola is ;
= Selling price - Producer gain
= 6 - 2
= $4
The burden that falls on consumers is;
= Current selling price - Previous selling price
= 6 - 5
= $1
The burden that falls on the producers is;
= Selling price less consumer tax - Producer gain
= 5 - 2
= $3
The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers. <u>FALSE. </u>
Whether the tax is on the producer or on the consumer makes no difference because the quantity sold will be the same. The statement is therefore false.

Answer:
•Variable service department costs are charged to operating divisions based on the budgeted rate and actual activity.
• Fixed service department costs are based entirely on budgeted data.
Explanation:
Out of the statements in the question, the correct statements are:
Fixed service department costs are based entirely on budgeted data and
Variable service department costs are charged to operating divisions based on the budgeted rate and actual activity.
It should be noted that fixed cost doesn't varies with production level but variable cost varies with production level.
Pure competition or perfect competition is where all firms have full knowledge of what is going on in the market, where there is free flow of information between not only the producers, but also with the consumers.
As such, all firms have no dominant share of market power since each individual firm is able to produce the good of the same quality and quantity (factors of production are fluid, and no costs in transportation in this theory). And at the same time, consumers have full knowledge of the quality of good they are getting and hence no firm will be able to exploit the misinformation of a good for its own profits.
This builds up to the point of a perfectly elastic demand curve, where consumers know what amount and at which price point do they value the product at. And knowing for the fact that small individual firms in a purely competitive firm have no say over prices, they become the price takers for this kind of market. Thus where MB=MC, the equilibrium point is reached and it is also at the socially optimal level since all consumers have full knowledge of the pros and cons of consuming a product (hence no externalities).
