Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We were informed from the question that;

BEFORE; the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $4 per bottle.

AFTER; After the tax, 25,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $6 per bottle and producers receive $3 per bottle (after paying the tax).

✓✓The amount of tax on wine = $6 - $3 = $3 per bottle

✓✓The tax burden on consumers = The amount paid after tax - The amount paid before tax

= $6 - $4

=$2 per bottle

✓✓The tax burden on Producers = Price received before tax - price received after tax

= $4 - $3

=$1 per bottle

Hence, The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $3 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $2 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $1 per bottle.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers(FALSE)

This is false, since the The tax burden on Producers is $1 per bottle while that of The tax burden on consumer is $2 per bottle.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$162,520

Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of retained earnings is provided below:-

To reach at retained earning first we need to find out the total expenses and net income which are as follows:-

Total Expenses = Advertising Expense + Income Tax Expense + Rent Expense + Supplies Expense

= $40,000 + $26,000 + $23,400 + $33,800

= $123,200

now,

Net income = Revenue - Expenses

= $200,000 - $123,200

= $76,800

So, the Retained Earnings as of December 31, 2019 = Retained Earnings of January 1, 2019 + Net Income - Dividend

= $115,720 + $76,800 - $30,000

= $192,520 - $30,000

= $162,520
