Answer:

Option (a) => consumers will consume less and save more to prepare for increased taxes in the future.

Explanation:

The man named David Ricardo was one of the great Economist of his time. David was born on the 18th day of the month of April, in the year 1772 in London,United Kingdom. David Ricardo died on the 11th day of the month of September, in the year 1823.

David Ricardo worked and proposed a theory called the ricardian equivalance. The ricardian equivalance theory is actually about how Government spend and how taxes are being distributed. The theory simply says that if the Government spend a lot without taxing the citizens,the citizens tends to save more because they(citizens) know that they(Government) will later increase their tax so as to balance the spendings by the government. Therefore, option (a) is correct.

Nature's Garden, a new restaurant situated on a busy highway in Pomona, California, specializes in a chef's salad selling for $7
mestny [16]

Answer:

Nature's Garden

a. Determination of the current average cost per meal:

Variable cost per meal = $3,800 ($4 x 950) based on full capacity

Fixed costs per day =        $1,710

Total costs =                     $5,510

Average cost per meal = $5,510/950 = $5.80

b. Girl Scouts' offer of $150 for 30 girls:

Offered price per person = $5 ($150/30)

Projecting a loss of $0.60 per meal, this gives a total loss of $18 ($0.60 x 30)

Projected revenue from the offer = $150 + $18 = $168

Projected revenue per meal = $168/30 = $5.60

Actual revenue to be received per meal = $5.00

Loss of $0.60

The owner arrived at the $0.60 loss because his total costs per meal was $5.60.

c. Since the variable cost per meal is $4, the restaurant owner could accept the offer if the additional 300 meals will not increase his daily fixed costs due to lack of capacity.  If the fixed costs increase with this addition, then it may not be reasonable to accept the offer.  Based on this offer, the contribution to defraying fixed costs, given present capacity, is only $0.50 ($4.50 - $4) per meal.

Explanation:

Selling price of chef's salad = $7

Daily fixed costs = $1,710

Variable costs per meal = $4

Meals capacity per day = 950

Average meals = 900

Nature's Garden has a fixed cost of $1,710 based on current capacity of 950 meals per day.  The fixed cost may increase with increasing capacity.  This fact must be borne in mind when making decisions.

Helen spent the last 85 days of 2020 in a nursing home. The cost of the services provided to her was $27,625 ($325 per day). Med
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Amount included in gross income of Helen is $0.

Hence, There will be no effect upon the gross income of Helen.

Explanation:

Data Given:

Number of Days Helen Spent = 85 days

Cost of the services = $27,625

Medicare Paid = $8400

Benefits received = $15440

Assumption: Federal Daily Excludible amount = $380

Solution:

Daily Statutory  amount = Daily Excludible amount x number days spent

Daily Statutory  amount =  $380 x 85 days

Daily Statutory  amount = $32300

We know that,

Amount of Medicare Paid = $8400

So, now we need to calculate the amount of exclusion first.

1. Amount of Exclusion = cost of the services - Medicare paid

Amount of Exclusion = $27625 - $8400 = $19225

So, now we calculate the amount included into the gross income of Helen.

2. Amount included in gross income = Benefits Received - Amount of Exclusion

Amount included in gross income =  $15440 - $19225

Amount included in gross income = -$3785

Here, we will not cater the negative, which means that amount included in gross income of Helen is $0.

Hence, There will be no effect upon the gross income of Helen.
