Answer:

We should discontinue Product B

Explanation:

We should check if Product B generates a contribution or not:

We subtract from the sales revenues the variable cost:

revenue                                   39,500

variable cost of goods sold   (25,500)

variable selling expenses   <u>   (16,500) </u>

Contribution                              (2,500)

<em>As the contribution is negative, we should discontinue </em>Product B as is less expensevely to stop production than continue.

jasenka [17]

Gross income is different from Taxable Income. There are deductions that must be deducted from gross income to arrive at the taxable income.

<h3>Federal income tax this year</h3>

Correct option is C.

Georgia pay in federal income tax this year "$5,696. 00"

In order to find federal income tax, calculate adjusted gross income.

Then from adjusted gross income,  subtract exemptions and deductions to get your taxable income.

Only 11 % of the people who belong to the age group 25-55 years do not pay federal income tax while more than 80% who belong to the age group of 75 years or older also do not pay tax.

Georgia's gross pay 35,600 this year.

Rate of federal income tax = 16%

Hence, amount paid by Georgia = 16/100×35,600 =$5696

Goods with many close substitutes tend to have a. more elastic demands. b. less elastic demands. c. price elasticities of demand
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is (A)

Explanation:

Normally, goods which close substitutes tend to have more elastic demand as it is easier to switch from one brand to another because they are close substitutes. For example, if the price of Pepsi increases the consumers will easily shift towards Coca-Cola. So, close substitutes are price sensitive and they have high elastic demand compared to other goods.
