eer. The price elasticity of supply of liquor is 3.5​, and the price elasticity of demand is −0.4. The​ cross-elasticity of demand for beer with respect to the price of liquor is 0.1. If the new tax is​ imposed, who will bear the greater burden long —liquor suppliers or liquor​ consumers?

Answer:

Liquor consumers

Explanation:

Price elasticity measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price. Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a great effect on quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity is usually greater than 1.

Demand is inelastic if changes in price has little or no impact on the quantity demanded. Coefficient of elasticity is usually less than 1.

The elasticity of demand for liquor is -0.4 while the elasticity of supply for liquor is 3.5. Therefore the demand for liquor is inelastic while the supply of liquor is elastic.

If taxes are imposed on consumers, the quantity demanded wouldn't change or change a little.

If taxes are imposed on suppliers, the quantity supplied would fall more.

Therefore , the burden of tax can be passed on more to consumers.

I hope my answer helps you.

Answer:

It will take 2.73 years to cover the initial investment.

Explanation:

<u>The payback period is the time required to cover the initial investment:</u>

Year 1= 0 - 2,400= -2,400

Year 2= 1,600 - 2,400= -800

Year 3= 1,100 - 800= $300

<u>To be more accurate:</u>

(800/1,100)= 0.73

It will take 2.73 years to cover the initial investment.

Vilka [71]

Answer:

a) Marginal cost of waiting is greater than the marginal benefit of being served

Explanation:

For an economic perspective, customer leave a fast food restaurant as they find the marginal cost of waiting is higher than the cost of marginal benefit of being served at restaurant.

Marginal cost: In economics, it is a cost that is incurred for an additional unit of benefit received out of certain action or activity.

The weekly incomes of shift foreman for a given industry follow a normal probability distribution. With a mean of $1,000 and a s
mylen [45]

Answer:

There is a 0.2419% for a foreman to earn either $1,100 or $900

Explanation:

We calculate the probability of a normal distribution of 0;1

(X-mean)/deviation = Z

(1,100 - 1,000)/100 = 100/100 = 1

900 - 1,00/100 = -100/100 = -1

Given the zame Z value, we have the same probability of a foreman to earn 1,100 or 900

As we are asked for the foreman salary, wewill calcualte the Z for non cumulative, just the probability of a foreman to earn 1,100 or 900 dollars.

We look into the normal distribution table for the value of z = -1 or 1

0.002419707  = 0.2419%

Andrew and Brianna are married and live in Texas, a community-property state. For their birthdays this year Andrew gave cash gif
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: $2,600

Explanation:

Because Andrew is married, the gift tax on him is split in half between him and his wife. This means that to each of his daughters, the gift tax will be on:

= 20,900 / 2

= $10,450

This amount is less than the gift exclusion limit of $15,000 so Andrew will not be charged taxes on the gifts to his daughters.

On the gift to Brianna's niece, Andrew's gift tax will be based on:

= 35,200 / 2

= $17,600

This is above the gift exclusion limit of $15,000 by:

= 17,600 - 15,000

= $2,600

<em>The above would therefore be Andrew's taxable gift amount. </em>
