THE QUESTION:
You have been put in charge of the taxation of the Mars colony. You need to decide how to tax the citizens of the colony.Will you institute a progressive, regressive, or a flat tax on income? Will you institute excise taxes? If yes, what goods and services will you tax and why? Will you institute sales taxes, property taxes, or VAT on goods?
Explanation:
I am not good at these terms, but
I would not use a flat tax, as I know that it would make lot's of people's life harder, from the middle class, to lower class, that might put people in financial struggles. Instead, I would charge different taxes on people, judged on their income. That would help lot's, and would be a good deed. Also, I will also use property taxes, because most of the time, if you didn't have money to spare, you wouldn't spend it on a house, right? I might have sale taxes, which I would say depends on how much I need as a government on MaRs! :|)
Answer: Option B
Explanation: In simple words, corporate social responsibility refers to the business model which states that the business organisation has gained its resources from all its stake holders and hence it owes some moral accountability to all of them.
Thus, as per the given case, the chairman owes responsibility to all the stakeholder whether they are customers, shareholders, workers and community.
Answer: U.S Treasury bonds
One of the main risks of investing is the risk of not getting back the amount invested. This risk is called default risk.
Income bonds, preferred stocks and subordinated debentures have default risk since there is no guarantee by the issuing companies that they will repay the principal, and interest or preferred dividends, as the case may be.
However, if an investor holds a U.S treasury bonds until maturity, the government gives a guarantee on the interest payment and principal amount. Hence the U.S treasury bonds are traditionally considered to have the least risk.
However, even U.S. treasury bonds are sensitive to inflation and interest rates.
