Answer:

When Economists say that humans make decisions at the margin they mean that decisions are made on the basis of the cost and benefit of getting an additional unit of a good/ service.

Marginal benefit refers to the additional utility that we will derive from consuming one extra unit of a good or service and factors in heavily into our decision making. We usually accept a decision if the Marginal benefit is higher or equal to the Marginal cost ( cost of the additional unit) of the good/service.

If the Marginal Cost is instead higher, the decision would most probably be cancelled.

When the elasticity of demand for a product is __________ the elasticity of supply, consumers pay __________ of the tax on the p

mezya [45]

When the elasticity of demand for a product is smaller than the elasticity of supply, consumers pay majority of the tax on the product.

The way the tax burden is distributed between purchasers and sellers is known as the tax incidence.

The relative price elasticity of supply and demand determines the tax incidence.

Usually, both the producers and the consumers of the taxed goods bear the incidence, or burden, of the tax.

But all we have to do is look at the elasticity of demand and supply to determine which group will be carrying the bulk of the load.

The majority of the tax burden falls on consumers when supply is more elastic than demand.

The majority of the tax burden falls on the producers when demand is more elastic than supply.

The less elastic the demand and supply are, the higher the tax revenue.

Hence, When the elasticity of demand for a product is smaller than the elasticity of supply, consumers pay majority of the tax on the product.

20. WACC and NPV [LO3, 5] Sommer, Inc., is considering a project that will result

g100num [7]

Mark Brainliest please

Sommer Inc is considering the new project, and yet we have to calculate under what circumstances the company have to take on the project. In order to assess the project, we need to compute the break-even cost such as the present value of future cash flows and calculate the WACC weighted cost of capital. It measures the weighted cost of equity and the after tax cost of debt. The following information are given: Debt to equity ratio = 0.90 Cost of equity = 13% After-tax cost of debt = 4.8% After-tax cost of savings = $2.7 million Debt to equity ratio = Debt / Equity = 0.90 Therefore, Value of firm = value of debt + value of equity Value of firm = 0.90E + E Value of firm

Joe and Rich are both considering investing in a project with the following cash flows. Joe is content earning a 9 percent retur

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

d. both joe and rich

Explanation:

To determine who should accept the project, the net present value should be calculated.

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

The net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = -$25,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 13,700

Cash flow in year 2 = 18,400

Rich 's discount rate = 16%

Richs NPV = $484.54

Joe's discount rate = 9%

Joes NPV = $3,055.72

The decision rule with NPV is to invest if NPV is greater than zero

Since NPV is greater than zero for both rich and joe, they should both accept it.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
