Answer:

Total surplus will be $0.50

Explanation:

We have given consumer maximum payable amount = $1.75

Producers minimum amount to receive = $1.25

Price paid = $1.68

We have to find the total surplus

Total surplus will be equal to

Total surplus = consumer surplus + producer surplus

Consumer surplus = consumer maximum amount willing to pay - amount paid = $1.75-$1.68 = $0.07

Producer surplus = price received - producer minimum willingness to pay = $1.68 - $1.25 = $0.43

So total surplus = $0.07+$0.43 = $0.50

Stone Co. begins operations in 20X9 and reports $225,000 in income before income tax for the year. Stone's 20X9 tax depreciation
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The answer is: Stone can report $8,750 as deferred income tax liability

Explanation:

Deferred income tax liability: income tax owed by a business that is put off into future years because a difference exists between GAAP accounting (in this case book depreciation) and income tax accounting.

The deferred tax liability is based on the difference on depreciation. Since 20x9 is Stone Co.'s first year of operations, the depreciation difference in this year must equal the net future depreciation difference.

To calculate the deferred tax liability balance we take the difference in depreciation and multiply it by the future tax rate: $25,000 x 35% = $8,750.

At September 1, 2012, Baxter Inc. reported Retained Earnings of $272,000. During the month, Baxter generated revenues of $40,000
LiRa [457]

Answer:

$284,000

Explanation:

Movements in the retained earnings account are as a result of the payment of dividend and the addition of the income or loss for the year.

Given that

Baxter generated revenues = $40,000

incurred expenses = $24,000

purchased equipment = $10,000 and

paid dividends = $4,000

Net income/(loss) = $40,000 - $24,000

= $16,000

Retained Earnings at September 30, 2012

= $272,000 + $16,000 - $4,000

= $284,000

Suppose buyers of fountain drinks are required to send $0.50 to the government for every fountain drink they buy. Further, suppo
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

d. All of the above are correct.

Explanation:

a. This tax causes the demand curve for fountain drinks to shift downward by $0.50 at each quantity.

b. The price paid by buyers is $0.30 per drink more than it was before the tax.

This is true as the difference between $0.50 and $0.20 is $0.30. The price paid by buyers is indeed $0.30 per drink more than it was before the tax.

c. Forty percent of the burden of the tax falls on the sellers.

This is true as $0.20 of $0.50 is 40% and this tax burden falls on the sellers.

You plan to make a series of deposits in an interest-bearing account. You will deposit $1,000 today, $2,000 in 2 years, and $8,0
solniwko [45]

Answer:

$5,641

Explanation:

DEPOSIT NOW  

$1000 * FVIF 9%,8 PERIODS

= $1000 * 1.9926

= $1992.6

IN 2 YEARS

= $2000 * FVIF 9%,6 PERIODS

= $2000 * 1.6771

= $3354.20

IN 5 YEARS

= $8000 * FVIF 9%, 3 PERIODS

= $8000*1.2950

= $10360

WITHDRAWAL: IN 3 YEARS

= ($3000) * FVIF 9%, 5 PERIODS

= ($3000) * 1.5386

= ($4615.80)

IN 7 YEARS

= ($5000) * FVIF 9%, 1 PERIOD

= ($5000) * 1.0900

= ($5450)

Total value = $1992.6  + $3354.20 + $10360  - $4615.80 - $5450

Total value = $5,641

So, the total future value after eight years is $5,641
