Answer: c. taxes on capital gains can be timed
Explanation:
Capital gains represent an appreciation in the value of a security therefore they bring in profit to the owners of that security. Capital gains are not taxed until the owner sells the security which means that these taxes can be timed by the owner who can decide to sell at specific times to reduce their tax bill.
This is different from dividends that are taxed as soon as the company declares them. The investors have no say as to the tax timing so they will prefer capital gains where they have some form of control.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month Number of instruments used Total autoclave cost
January 634 $7,466
February 534 6,526
March 734 7,148
April 934 9,028
May 834 7,744
June 1,034 8,596
July 1,234 10,009
August 1,134 9,924
<u>To determine the fixed and variable cost, we need to use the high-low method:</u>
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (10,009 - 6,526) / (1,234 - 534 )
Variable cost per unit= $4.9757 per unit
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 10,009 - (4.9757*1,234)
Fixed costs= $3,869
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 6,526 - (4.9757*534)
Fixed costs= $3,869
Total cost= 3,869 + 4.9757x
x= number of instruments
Answer:
± 4.05
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Random sample size = 15
Standard deviation = 8
Confidence level = 95%
Now,
Margin of error is given as:
Margin of error = ± [ ( z × s ) ÷ √n ]
Here,
From standard z table for 95% confidence level z = 1.96
Margin of error = ± [ ( 1.96 × 8 ) ÷ √15 ]
or
Margin of error = ± [ 15.68 ÷ 3.873 ]
or
Margin of error = ± 4.05
Answer:
