A thing that motivates or encourages someone to do something
Price elasticity can be calculated using the attached formula where:
the first term represents the % change in quantity and the second term represents the % change in price
% change in quantity = (100-120) / (220/2) = -2/11 x 100 = -18.1818%
% change in price = (7-5) / (12/2) = 33.3333%
price elasticity = 18.1818/33.3333 = 0.55Note that the price elasticity is usually taken as an absolute value.
Answer:
A. = (15% X $2M) + (21% X $2M) = $720,000. Since there is no mechanism for mitigating double taxation, the branch profit will be taxed on the to tax rate of 15% and 21% which is $300,000 and $420,000.
B. The total tax for $2m branch profit if US corporations can remove foreign based profit from US taxation will be just the 15% x $2m = $300,000.
C.If they are allowed to take deductions for foreign income taxes, the total tax on the $2m branch profit will be (21% -15%) x $2m = $120,000.
Explanation:
D.1. If credit are allowed for foreign income tax paid, total tax will be ($2m - $300,000 been foreign tax paid) x 21% = $357,000
D.2.
If the charge foreign income taxes at 30% and US corporations can claim refundable credit for foreign income tax paid on foreign source income = ($2m - $300,000 been the foreign income tax paid) = $1 700,000 x 30% = $510,000
Price of the items = $24000
Discounts =30%, 25%, 15%.
Sale amount after discount,
100 - 30 = 70% = 0.7
100 - 25 = 75% = 0.75
100 - 15 = 85% = 0.85
Multiplying we get the discount = 0.7 x0.75 x 0.85 = 0.44625
So the net price = 0.44625 x 24000 = $10,710
Answer: 17.5%
Explanation:
The equilibrium will occur where the money demanded equals to the money supplied i.e Ms = Md
From the question, the supply of currency by the Central Bank = 40
Money Supply (Ms) = m × B
where m = Money multiplier = 2.5
Note that the money multiplier can also be equal to 1/rr in situations wherebt the consumers do not hold any currency.
rr = reserve ratio, = 0.4
B = monetary base = 40
Note that the monetary base here is 40.
Since reserve ratio = 0.4, therefore
m = 1/0.4 = 2.5
Therefore, Ms = m × B
= 2.5 × 40
= 100
Thus Money supply Ms = 100.
Money demand(Md) = Y(0.3 - i),
Y = income = 800
i = interest rate
Since (Md) = Y(0.3 - i),
Md = 800(0.3 - i)
Equate the equation for the money demand and money supply together.
Ms = Md
100 = 800(0.3 - i)
100 = 240 - 800i
800i = 240 - 100
800i = 140
i = 140/800
i= 0.175
= 17.5%
Therefore, the interest rate is 17.5%
