Answer:

It will be better to keep the old car.\left[\begin{array}{cccc}$&$New&$Old&$Differential\\$purchase&-14000&&14000\\$Gasoline spending&-4292&-9479&-5187\\$repairs&&-7500&-7500\\$insurance&-4000&-2000&2000\\$Result&-22292&-18979&3313\\\end{array}\right]

Explanation:

gasoline spending:

old:

250 miles per week/ 24 miles per gallon= 10,41666666

then that x 52 weeks per year x 3.5 per gallon x 5 years

new:

250 / 53 =  4,716981

then this x 52 weeks x 3.5 per gallon x 5 years=

repairs:

1,500 x 5 years = 7,500

insurance:

800 x 5 = 4,000 new car insurance

400 x 5 = 2,000 old car insurance

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. A secondary effect of an increase on yacht tax rates would be the laying off of hundreds of poor and middle-class yacht makers as the wealthy spend their money elsewhere.

Explanation:

The tax increase of a certain product necessarily increases the final price of that product, that is, when the tax rate is raised, the amount of money necessary to buy said good rises.

In turn, according to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded of the product. In other words, this tax increase would produce a drop in the demand for yachts.

If demand falls, the income of producers and sellers of the product falls. This is where production is affected, since small and medium producers will have greater difficulties to cope with the drop in sales, often incurring losses that would lead to having to close the business.
