Answer 1

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

In point A-1:

Calculating the value of Incremental sales after tax:  

Further revenues= $414,000  

Recognize(Less)=Costs

Debt worth =$33,120  

Set Exp. = $17,400    

Production and commercialization cost= $314,640  

Pre-sales tax =$48,840.  

Lower: 35%   tax = $17,094  

Incremental tax income =$31,746

In point A-2:

Determine profits for extra expenditure  

Extra spending on debts $= \frac{ \ 414,000}{\ 5}$

                                         $= \ 82,800.$

Return on the Expenditure $= \frac{\ 31746}{ \ 82800}$

                                             $= 38.34 \%$

In point A-3:

Yeah, For the Fast Turnstiles company must provide certain consumers with loans.

In point B-1:

Incremental taxes after-tax calculation:  

Further sales = $ 414,000    

Return: Costs  

gross debt= $45,540    

Set Exp = $17,400  

Cost for production and marketing = $314,640  

Net profits=$ 36,420  

Without tax 35% = $12,747  

Incremental tax revenue= $23,673    

In point B-2:    

Determine profits for extra expenditure  

Extra investment in debts $= \frac{ \ 414,000 }{ \ 5}$

                                             $= \ 82,800$

Incremental return on that investment $= \frac{\ 23673}{\ 82800}$

                                                                   $= 28.59 \%$  

In point B-3:      

Yeah, The Fast Turnstiles company must provide to certain consumers to credit.

In point C-1:    

The incremental tax revenue estimate  

$414,000 = excess revenue  

Remember Costs

Debt worth= $ 33,120  

set Exp = $17,400    

Production and commercialization cost=  $314,640  

Pre- sales  tax = $48,840.  

Less: 35% Tax = $17,094  

Incremental tax income=  $31,746  

Calculate profits for extra expenditure  

Extra Accounting Investment $= \frac{\ 414000}{1.6}$

                                                 $= \ 258750$

Incremental Return$= \frac{\ 31,746} {\ 258,750}$

                                $= 12.27 \%$

In point C-2:

Yeah, its credit should be granted to all these consumers through Fast Turnstiles company limited.
