Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 45 million cases of cola were sold ever
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Tax on a case of cola is $4 per case.

The burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case.

The burden that falls on producers is $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

Explanation:

Tax on a case of cola = Amount that consumers pay after the tax has been charged - Amount producers receive = $7 - $3 = $4 per case

Burden on consumers = Amount consumers pay after the tax has been levied - Amount consumers pay before tax was levied = $7 - $5 = $1 per case

Burden on producers = Tax on a case of cola - Burden on consumers = $4 - $1 = $3 per case

False. This is due to the fact that producers already carry a greater share of the tax burden.

A stock's dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 5% a year, which of the following statements is CORRECT? The stock
Llana [10]

Answer:

a. The stock's price one year from now is expected to be 5% above the current price.

Explanation:

Under gordon model:

\frac{divends}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

If we calculate the value of the stock for the year after that:

\frac{divends x (1 + growth)}{return-growth} = Intrinsic \: Value

to calculate the value of the increase we divide next year over current year.

\frac{divends(1+growth)}{return-growth} \div \frac{divends}{return-growth}\\\\\frac{divends(1+growth)}{return-growth} \times\frac{return-growth}{divends}\\\\\frac{divends(1+growth)}{divends}= 1+ growth

We have demostrate that next year stock should increase by 1 + growth so statement c is correct.
