Answer:

The price of domestic Cuban grapefruit for consumers will increase,option B

Cuban exports of grapefruits will increase,option B

Consumer surplus in Cuba will decrease,option A

Producer surplus in Cuba will increase.option B

Explanation:

Opening up the economy paves way for producers of grapefruit to sell their output in the international market due to the incentive provided by higher international price,hence there would less to sell in the home front,thereby pushing up domestic price.

Of course,producers in Cuba would  prefer export to selling locally, as a result Cuban exports of grapefruits will increase.

Consumer would reduce because of increase in price as the surplus is the difference between local price and higher international price and conversely producer surplus increases

Answer:

Periodic system: FIFO ; COGS= $11400, closing inventory = $7700, gross profit=$14000. LIFO = closing stock= 6600, COGS=$12500, gross profit=12900.

perpetual system: FIFO ;COGS=11400, closing stock= $7700, gross profit= $11400. LIFO ; COGS=$12500, closing stock= $6600, gross profit = $12900

Reason for a higher gross profit in FIFO than LIFO is some of the stock ends up not being sold as they are maybe old, out-fashioned, and obviously new trend come about everyday.

Would you prefer a fully taxable investment earning 8.1 percent or a tax-exempt investment earning 6.1 percent? (assume a 28 per
blsea [12.9K]
<span>Prefer the 6.1 percent tax-exempt investment. Let's do the math and see why the tax-exempt investment is the better choice. For the 8.1% taxable investment, you get taxed at the rate of 28%. Which means that you only get to keep 100%-28% = 72% of your gains. So 0.72 * 8.1 = 5.832 which means your effective earning percentage is only 5.832% which is less than the 6.1% rate you get for the tax-exempt investment. Another consideration that wasn't taken into account for the question is the earnings on the taxable investment may push you up into a higher tax bracket. Which in turn increases the tax burden on your other investments. So the better choice here is the 6.1% tax-exempt investment even though that first glance the 8.1% investment looks higher.</span>
