Answer:

The correct answer is Sin tax.

These types of taxes are collected by governments to deter individuals from participating in such activities without making the use of the products illegal. These taxes also constitute a source of revenue for the government.

lord [1]

Answer: C) Continuously improve their products at home.

Explanation:

Protectionism policies like tariffs and import quotas have the effect of reducing free trade which erodes consumer welfare as well as hurting trade so should be avoided if better options exist.

One of those is for a company to increase its market base instead of relying on protection from the government. If they can expand into foreign market, they will have a larger market in which to trade their goods and increase profitability.

Another way is to improve their products at home. Better products would attract more customers to their products and increase profitability.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

$72,800

Explanation:

Book value:

= Value of bonds + Unamortized bond premium

= $1,000,000 + $92,800

= $1,092,800

Paid at redemption:

= 102% of value of bonds

= 102% × $1,000,000

= $1,020,000

Gain on bond retirement:

= Book value -  Paid at redemption

= $1,092,800 - $1,020,000

= $72,800

Therefore, gain should be recognized on this bond retirement will be $72,800.
